In the first years after Poland regained independence in 1918, a special place in the history of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow was taken as a result of the efforts to maintain the status of a university by the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. These efforts were led by rectors-architects, Józef Gałęzowski and Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz, who headed the Academy of Fine Arts from 1919-1929. The Academy’s aspirations encountered obstacles raised by the Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment. Subsequent drafts of the statute were ignored, and the amendments to the relevant laws favorable for the Academy of Fine Arts were postponed. The battle for the award of the academic status to the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow became a nation-wide legal dispute concerning the competences of the parliament and the interpretation of the constitution. The whole affair was completed on 16 July 1924 when the educational act concerning tertiary education was properly amended (the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow was attached to the list of schools with full academic status).The problem considered in this article was based on source materials obtained from various polish archives and press reports from discussed period.The article, which presents a fragment of the history of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow during one of the most turbulent periods in Poland, may be treated as a contribution to the biographies of the outstanding architects Józef Gałęzowski and Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz.

W pierwszych latach po odzyskaniu niepodległości przez Polskę w 1918 roku w dziejach Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie szczególne miejsce zajęły starania o utrzymanie przez krakowską uczelnię artystyczną statusu szkoły wyższej. Staraniom tym przewodzili rektorzy-architekci, Józef Gałęzowski i Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz, którzy stali na czele ASP w latach 1919-1929. Aspiracje uczelni spotkały się z  niezrozumieniem ze strony Ministerstwa Wyznań Religijnych i Oświecenia Publicznego. Kolejne projekty statutu były ignorowane, a korzystna dla ASP nowelizacja odpowiednich ustaw odkładana w czasie. Walka o status akademicki krakowskiej ASP nabrała wymiaru ogólnopolskiego sporu prawników o kompetencje izb parlamentarnych i o interpretację konstytucji. Zakończyła się 16 lipca 1924 roku przyjęciem nowelizacji do ustawy o szkołach wyższych polegającej na dopisaniu krakowskiej ASP do grona uczelni o pełnym statusie akademickim.Prezentowane zagadnienie zostało opracowane na podstawie dokumentów znajdujących się w wielu archiwach polskich oraz artykułów prasowych z epoki.Artykuł, przedstawiający odcinek dziejów Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie w jednym z jej najbardziej burzliwych okresów, stanowi przyczynek do biografii dwóch wybitnych architektów, Józefa Gałęzowskiego i Adolfa Szyszko-Bohusza.

Upon the basis of heretofore unknown projects the author intended to present several attempts at expanding the parish church in Jasło, pursued from the second half of the nineteenth century. After almost a hundred years of trials it was decided to choose the most conservative plan devised by engineer Jan Dąbrowski, which foresaw the liquidation of all re-modelling from the end of the nineteenth century, and thus referred to the original version of the building. The project was realised in 1947-1956. On the outside, the edifice preserved Gothic forms, while the interior constitutes a compromise combining salvaged original fragments (architectural details) with functionality and decorations typical for the 1950s.

The article analyses the conservation and restoration conducted from the third quarter of the nineteenth century on Wawel Hill, both within the royal residence complex and the cathedral, from the viewpoint of the then prevailing and present-day conservation doctrines. The first pioneering study of the restoration of the royal castle, prepared by Tomasz Pryliński in 1881-1882, must be highly assessed also as regards the current conservation method. On the other hand, the project of the restoration of the cathedral proposed by Sławomir Odrzywolski in 1886 still contained numerous elements of stylistic purism. In the course of its realisation it was considerably modified by a limitation of the re-Gothicisation, a preservation of the majority of the historical strata and an introduction of modern elements (Art Nouveau). The project of the restoration of the castle presented by Zygmunt Hendel in 1908 became the topic of a discussion in which diverse stands were represented by Max Dvořak, the chief conservator of historical monuments in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and Professor Stanislaw Tomkowicz, chairman of the Castle Restoration Committee. Continuing the ideas launched by Alois Riegel, Dvořak was in favour of strictly comprehended conservation, while Tomkowicz defended the idea of scientific restoration. The outcome of the discussion was a compromise favourable for Wawel Hill, entailing a resignation from controversial reconstruction proposals but not from the actual restoration of the royal residence. In 1916-1939 the restoration of the castle was continued by Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz, whose specific approach was based more on artistic creation. Today, his realisations already possess a certain historical value and deserve to be subjected to conservation protection on their own merit. Their essential novelty consisted of arranging two archaeological- -architectural reservations. Out of for four conceptions pertaining to the whole Hill (1917, 1919, 1939, 1946) Szyszko-Bohusz or his successors implemented the best elements. Fortunately for Wawel Hill, they did not realise plans for a Pantheon and an amphitheatre, which cannot be favourably judged from the viewpoint of conservation doctrine. After the Second World War conservators resigned from these plans and under the supervision of Witold Minkiewicz and Alfred Majewski initiated, i.a. work on mediaeval walls in the western and southern part of Wawel Hill. The range of the reconstruction was distinctly limited in comparison with the conceptions expounded by Szyszko-Bohusz, thus expressing the transformations of the conservation doctrine of the period. In 2008 a positive opinion about those realisations was reflected in its entry into a register of historical monuments as a “conservation document”. Modern elements of exposition arrangements introduced into the Treasury, the Armoury and the exhibition “The lost Wawel” are distinct from the authentic substance, a solution that reflects a clear-cut impact of the doctrine recorded in the Charter of Venice. Complex conservation, comprising the next stage of work conducted on Wawel Hill, had been initiated in 1990 by the present-day Director of the Royal Castle on Wawel Hill and Conservator of Historical Monuments on Wawel Hill – Professor Jan Ostrowski. The basic premises of these undertakings are contained in the Statute of the Royal Castle on Wawel Hill, which defines both the function of the Castle complex as a museum- -historical residence and the trend of conservation: “the preservation of the historical substance of monuments belonging to the Castle”. “Conservation” should, however, be comprehended as “conservation- -restoration”, since present-day activities should supplement those of the predecessors and not negate them. Such a continuation of earlier initiatives included the recreation of the surface of the arcade courtyard, the recreation of the historical crowing of Lubranka, the completion of the conservation- -restoration of the Sandomierz bastion, the architectural correction of the elevation of the Royal Kitchens (no. 5), the recreation of the royal gardens and the revalorisation of the complex of Gothic houses, i.e. building no. 7. An essential element in embarking upon conservation decisions is a valorisation of the historical strata, which includes also the results of earlier conservation. The negative opinion about the nineteenth- century introduction of barracks in the royal palace complex is maintained, but Austrian fortifications extant up to this day have been recognised as an element subjected to protection. Redesigning introduced during the Nazi occupation, fortunately not extensive, has also been negatively assessed. The principles applied in reference to the outcome of previous conservation assumed their preservation as historical values unless they collide with the fundamental purpose of the presentation of a historical royal residence, i.e. falsify its image or damage its historical substance. In such cases, corrections are advised, as exemplified by the exit from the castle to the royal gardens and a new arrangement of the reservation in the west wing of the castle.
