TY - JOUR TI - 1960’s polish modernistic industrial buildings today AU - Bardzińska-Bonenberg, Teresa TI - 1960’s polish modernistic industrial buildings today AB - The 1960s in Poland was a period when formal boundaries of the Stalinist period were being shaken off. The economy, with its reliance on heavy industry, was in dire need of new production facilities, the shape of which was dictated by the available technology. The mounting restrictions imposed by the centrally controlled state and changing investment priorities did not affect production undertakings inasmuch as other construction industry disciplines. At that time, equipment and industrial unit designs were not subject to categorisation yet, and furthermore enjoyed privileged status when it came to acquiring building materials. Such a situation gave designers a free run at shaping their creations to accommodate technological requirements and in accordance with the modernistic line. Numerous outstanding examples of industrial architecture were created, constituting an important element of the Polish post-war architecture. Unfortunately, only a few survive to this day.
