The author addresses the problem of naming the space associated with the Staszic Palace in Warsaw. She argues that along with its name, the square in front of the palace lost its both administrative and social distinctiveness and advocates for its restoration. Her analysis of the naming system, complemented by an investigation of archival sources and a reflection upon the history and cultural significance of selected parts of the palace, reveals a gap in the current naming conventions, which cover only urban areas. The article outlines an original proposal of naming typology for enclosed public places, developed in the course of the work on the selection of names for two auditoria of the Staszic Palace, which remained unnamed until 2020. Furthering the arguments that led to naming the auditoria under the author’s recommendations, she explores the connection between the placename and the meanings inscribed in the imaginary space. The theoretical background of the article has been provided by works of Edward Soja, Michel Foucault and Henri Lefebvre as well as the categories of collective memory of space (Hayden White and Frank Ankersmit) and affective heterotopy, defined by the author in her monograph on the Staszic Palace.

The article refers to the international scientific symposium which took place in 2019 in the UK capital during the Open House London. The meeting of scholars from Warsaw and London was devoted to the assumptions of architectural literature studies and possibilities of developing this approach for research on Polish emigration in London. In the first part of the article Aleksandra Wójtowicz – an author of the approach of architectural literature studies – presents its assumptions and possibilities of implementation. She recalls the features of ‘difficult places’ – a category developed by Warsaw’s interdisciplinary team. She also mentions the principles of ‘re-imaginary architecture’ – Justyna Gorzkowicz’s proposal – referring to the category of reading identity places in exile. The second part of the article is devoted to the specics of Open House London. Justyna Gorzkowicz presents the characteristics of two Polish places that the symposium participants could get acquainted with during their visit to London: PUNO’s headquarters and Cezary Bednarski’s Vertically Detached Houses.
