The south-western corner o f the Polish Republic, which today forms part o f mainly the Jelenia Gora and Zielona Gora voivodeships and which historically constitutes socalled Upper Lusatia (to the river Kwisa) has preserved rather numerous examples o f columnar architecture, commonly known as Lusatian. These are, as a rule, ground floor or tw o -flo o r objects; only in rare cases, do they have two or more storeys. They are covered by sloping, usually tw o hipped end roofs, with decorative architectonic gables. The hipped roof ends - today predominantly ceramic (tiles) — used be covered by wooden shingles, stone slate and even straw or rush thatch. The most characteristic constructionarchitectonic feature o f those buildings was supporting the attic (or upper storeys) and the roof upon free standing outer carrying pillars, placed away from the walls (and frequently profiled and decorated), as well as joining parts made o f wood. A traditional supplementation o f these two structures is, as a rule, the half-timber wall with a skeleton (spandrel beam) construction. The extant buildings are becoming damaged, and subjected to progressing technical decapitalization; they are collapsing or being pulled down. The preparation o f a complete measurement and photographic inventory o f objects heretofore not registered in this manner appears to be indispensable. It also seems worthwhile to create a regional Skansen — an Upper Lusatian ethnographic park, situated, for example, in the region o f Bogatynia.

Styl otwocki

The Otwock construction style, created at the end o f the nineteenth century by Michal Elwiro Andriolli, earlier than the earlier Zakopane style devised by Stanislaw Witkiewicz, is little known and insufficiently appreciated. The summerhouse architecture o f the environs o f Otwock is an unique phenomenon on the scale o f Mazovia. Many wooden buildings representing the style in question are no longer standing and numerous examples are decaying; nonetheless, a number o f houses displaying magnificent w ood carving is still to be found. Unfortunately, methods o f protecting wooden houses built in the Otwock style and their preservation for future generations have not been proposed up to now. This problem cannot be solved by listing particular objects in a register o f historical monuments. The salvage o f existing buildings by their present-day owners cannot be achieved without the assistance o f municipal authorities and the State Service for the Protection o f Historical Monuments.

Preserved – Saved? On the Cultural Landscape and Manners of Its Shaping is a collection of texts – the result of two conferences organised in July 2000 and September 2002 by the Borussia Cultural Community society. The leitmotif of both meetings was the cultural landscape as well as the possibilities of its shaping and protection, while the point of departure was the rural landscape and the region of Warmia and Mazuria. The authors include persons professionally associated with the protection of historical monuments and preservation, as well as the owners of historical objects. The book is divided into three parts, the first being Historia – Dziedzictwo – Zmiany (History – Legacy – Changes), bringing the reader closer to the cultural legacy of Warmia and Mazuria, not merely the historical aspects but also from the present-day perspective. The second part, entitled Współczesność – Projekty – Realizacje (Contemporaneity – Projects – Realisations), contains texts about the discussed issues on a local level as well as a wider, supraregional one. Finally, the part on Siedziby – Losy – Ludzie (Residences – History – People) describes the personal experiences of various people who decided to tame the alien element and begin a new life under an “old roof”. The merits of the books include its handy size, hard cover, and lavish illustrations. The publication is enhanced by biogrammes of authors, presented at the end. The only flaw is the absence of topographic references. Although the major part of the publication deals with Warmia and Mazuria, it also contains texts about Lithuania or Sweden. The book is addressed to the lovers of Warmia and Mazuria, historians of art, conservators and laymen.
