The paper presents relations between form and function in the architecture on few selected examples of theoretical texts. Interrelation of form and function is analyzed on examples of the most important types of baroque architecture – the castle and the church. Baroque castle has a key role in the creation and validation of the power of rulers, enfilade rooms and ceremonial staircase have function of stage on which the ruler displays himself and his power, but also at the same time, reflects strictly hierarchical social system of baroque. In religious architecture, relations between form and function are more regulated. In Instructiones… (1577) of the Council of Trent, the emphasis in the design has been placed on the fulfillment of the functions of post-Tridentine liturgy, from the layout of plan to the new meaning of the triumphal arch. However, the regulations are most clearly expressed at the end of the 18th century, in demand for functionality as the primary goal of a sacred space. Following the adoption of Enlightenment ideas in Central Europe, churches are build according to claim that their design should be “useful and purposeful”, according to the request of Joseph II.

Bohdan Lachert’s architectural treatise is a summary of the attitudes manifested in the environment of architects of the avant-garde modernist trend in Poland. In the pre-war period, Lachert  belonged to the group of the most outstanding initiators of modern architecture and experts in the theory of modern art. He cultivated his creativity by displaying strong emotional commitment, which he considered a decisive factor in architectural work. In the post-war period, he encountered restrictions in his activities resulting from the doctrine of socialist realism. At the end of the 1950s, he decided to write down his beliefs taking into account contemporary historiography and philosophy. The prepared treatise did not play a major role in the history of Polish architecture due to the small role of independent architectural attitudes in the political system of real socialism. The current publication of the treatise makes it possible to see in it not only a document of two past eras, but also a work that contains elements coinciding with contemporary intellectual trends.

Traktat architektoniczny Bohdana Lacherta jest podsumowaniem postaw przejawianych w środowisku architektów nurtu awangardowego modernizmu w Polsce. Architekt należał w okresie przedwojennym do grupy najwybitniejszych inicjatorów nowoczesnej architektury i znawców teorii sztuki nowoczesnej. Swoją twórczość uprawiał, przejawiając silne zaangażowanie emocjonalne, które uważał za decydujący czynnik dzieła architektonicznego. W okresie powojennym napotkał ograniczenia w swej działalności wynikające z doktryny socrealizmu. W końcu lat pięćdziesiątych XX wieku postanowił spisać swoje przekonania, uwzględniając ówczesną historiografię i filozofię. Sporządzony traktat nie odegrał dużej roli w dziejach polskiej architektury ze względu na małą rolę niezależnych postaw architektonicznych w systemie politycznym realnego socjalizmu. Obecna publikacja traktatu pozwala dostrzec w nim nie tylko dokument dwóch minionych epok, lecz także dzieło, które zawiera elementy zbieżne ze współczesnymi trendami intelektualnymi.
