W artykule poruszono problematykę formowania i funkcjonowania monumentalnych postmodernistycznych kościołów jako form mocnych w przestrzeni osiedli mieszkaniowych z lat 70. i 80. XX wieku. Celem przedstawionych w artykule badań jest diagnoza potrzeb lokalnych społeczności dotycząca obecności kościoła w kontekście jego formy w środowisku zamieszkania. Badanie wykonano na bazie eksperymentów formalnych i przestrzennych reprezentatywnych dla polskiej architektury sakralnej tamtych lat. Wśród metod badawczych dominuje analiza porównawcza przykładów, obok kwerendy literaturowej i badań in situ. Analizie poddano trzy obiekty: w Warszawie, Wadowicach i Wrocławiu.

Polish Postmodern sacred architecture in the space of housing estates

The article deals with the issues of the formation and functioning of monumental postmodern churches as strong forms in the space of housing estates from the 1970s and 1980s. The aim of the research presented in the article is to diagnose the needs of local communities regarding the presence of the church in the context of its form, in the living environment. The research was carried out on the basis of formal and spatial experiments representative of the Polish religious architecture of those years. Among the research methods, the comparative analysis of examples dominates, next to the literature query and in situ research. Three sites were analyzed: in Warsaw, Wadowice and Wrocław.

The most valuable parks in Lviv were designed by the famous city gardener Arnold Röhring, who managed to combine in the art of landscape design the different styles of the turn of 20th century. If the large parks of the city are under state protection, the smaller ones designed as public gardens, boulevards, gardens near the villas are constantly being rebuilt and destroyed. The results of the study of the park in St. Yuri Square in Lviv give grounds for considering this park an authentic monument of landscape art of the end of the 19th century, where its compositional structure and state of rare old-growth species of trees and shrubs are well preserved.
