The subject of this article is to show the close relationship between the work of Romuald Gutt and its influence on the design of the Warsaw Pavilion – the Warsaw Insurgents Memorial Chamber. The scientific study was aimed at showing the relationship between the design path and the case study, i.e. study by design. This case study is based upon the analysis of the achievements, the architectural language, the style, the methodology and the design philosophy of the architect Romuald Gutt. The research methodology analyses several aspects of the architect’s work and its influence on the concept of the Pavilion. In this case study, we are considering a universal design method by analysing existing objects designed by the same artist. The architectural legacy, the methodology, the language and the narrative used in Gutt’s creative work allow us to see a whole new quality in the design process of the building we are studying – the Warsaw Insurgents’ Memorial Chamber at the Warsaw Insurgents’ Cemetery in Wola.
