East off Lublin a new coal basin is being formed, on the territory of which there is an agricultural town of Łączna with rich history and nearly two thousand inhabitants. Outpacing the decisions on bulding the basin, design works had been undertaken there with the aim, i.a., to prepare materials and to establish views on the past of old Łączna. The work has been commissioned to a team of the Ateliers of Design of a Lublin Division of the Ateliers for Conservation of Cultural Property. A study of the Local Detailed Plan for the Renewal of Łączna, worked out in 1974—1976, was based on the following initial materials: — town-planning guide-lines specifying the size of future Łęczna for 25 or 70 thousand inhabitants, — a historical and town-planning study and a catalogue of structures of interest to conservators, — town-planning and historic guide-lines, — a sociological study, — a town-planning recording, — a study of renewal. Łęczna was established on a trade route linking Russian lands with Lublin district. It acquired the status of the town in 1467. A land development of the town was marked by a formation of a line of market places, the first of which is linked with the location, the second was created in the 17th cent., while the third one was laid out at the beginning of the 19th century. This period was also the time of the town’s flourishing owing to fairs held at Łęczna. A three-market architectural arrangement does not find its reflection in building, which destroyed by fires survived to present days in a very poor condition. A special attention deserve wooden entrance houses that represent a specific combination of a small town house with an inn. When drawing the programme it has been assumed that the Old Town will continue for a long time yet to play a role of the main administrative and servicing centre. It has also paid attention to an additional function, i.e. attending to tourists going via Łączna to nearby Łęczyńsko-Włodawskie Lake District. Design works put the main emphasis on the need to protect the entire cultural environment covering a natural and cultural landscape as well as local tradition, climate and atmosphere of the town. Due to a stormy development associated with the creation of great industry and thus with the town, a preservation of all elements of tradition is the work important for this urban complex. The main function of the Old Town is to play a role of the centre of selected general urban services, i.e. to attend to tourists and to offer walk paths for inhabitants of new districts. When proposing to give the old part of the town features of a traditional small town attempts have been made to point out its structural and functional dissimilarity. Because of a research nature of the work, several variants have been prepared, a common feature of which is to treat the entire process of a town’s formation as the process occurring in an organic way, which should be reflected in the integration of a new and old centre.
