At the begining the autor discusses individual stages of teaching architects saying that not only they have to coordinate and unite various skills and disciplines but also to combine* two qualities: a mathematical accuracy of technics and imaginativeness and inspiration of art. Hence only 10 per cent of the students become future architects. The studies take five years but that is too short. Further on in the text the author ponders on the history of architecture and monuments conservation when compared to intramural studies from the thirties until this day. According to him, an overwhelming majority of architects working in Poland have been educated as advocates of functional architecture and they will be operating to the end of the first quarter of the 21st century at least. After discussing a programme of lectures on the history of architecture and monuments conservation the author proposes to extend studies by means of post-graduate training and doctor’s theses. A graduate of Architecture Department employed in a state-owned monuments conservator workshop should, at first, work on a building site (for 1 or 2 years) and then to have a training course in the Workshop of Architectural Studies (further 1—2 years), and finally in the Design Workshop. An incentive for creative work should be architectural contests on conservation subjects. Post-graduate studies were undertaken for the first time in 1971 in the Warsaw Technological University at the motion of state-owned monuments conservation workshops. A few years ago the PostGraduate Training Centre for the Studies on Architectural Monuments was brought to life in the Warsaw Technological University. The studies there last one year, although they should last 2 years at least. The authors suggests to establish the Post-Graduate Institute for the Renewal of Historic Towns, in which studies would last two years. In conclusion the author puts forward the most important proposal, namely that incentives should be created for selftraining of architects in the field of monuments conservation by the establishment of appropriate specialization degrees for conservators, granted by a highly qualified independent commission, depending on the attainments of the candidate, his training and examination result. Attention should also be paid to a clear specification of degree’s specializations required for individual posts and due remuneration.
