Social development embodied in historical monuments, the sense of existence not only in space but also in time, is an important factor forming the national and cultural identity of a people. During the Second World War Polish historical monuments were extensively depleted. As soon as the war was over, along with the reconstruction of buildings and bridges, re-cultivation of fields, there began the reconstruction of monuments and the reconstruction of the Old Town in Warsaw became a symbol. Recently the Old Town has been included in the World Heritage listing the most outstanding historical monuments all over the world. The same situation exists in other countries whose cultural heritage has been impaired. Everywhere the social process of democratisation is accompanied by the tendency to increase constantly the range of historical monuments. * More and more frequently even objects of modest value are included to make theoverall picture of material and spiritual culture complete. It has already been achieved that entire landscape enclaves come under protection, the monuments of culture and nature are preserved together in large landscape reserves. The successive stages of our national history gradually become mature enough to envoke the approval and interest of society. Thus1, in recent years, the 19th century architectural complexes have come into focus. This can also be accounted for by a deeper social need fostered by the world-wide weariness, dissatisfaction and frustration with the vast expanse and complexity of modern architecture, with large structures on an inhuman scale constituting a too abrupt breach in the continuity of the cultural environment in which people have developed over several thousands of years. New architecture of postmodernism reverts to the tested and more human scale, the mood, so much so that it makes use of historical forms, sometimes reaching pastiche. The current renovation of old dwelling-houses also constitutes an important issue as regardR the protection of monuments. This problem involves not only historical monuments but also building engineering as such.
