We have recently observed a disturbing trend in urban architecture which focuses on demolishing old buildings rather than reconstructing them. Examples of such saddening practices, such as pulling down Gdansk’s Shipyard or Katowice’s main train station, have been well documented by artists who have different ideas of how to deal dealing with this problem. The actions of these artists have directed the author's general conclusions, which focus on uncovering the meaning and mission behind documentary photography and art.

The author points a finger at “living in a bubble,” as he calls it, the collective habit of complaining about the ugliness of the public sphere in Poland. Taking a closer look at the root causes of this situation, he blames the lack of art lessons in primary and secondary schools for this aesthetic blindness. The devastating results can clearly be seen: the results of architectural plebiscites are incomprehensible for an ordinary citizen, newspaper publications on the subject are usually of an interventionist character, and good photography is almost non-existent in the press. The article also provides commentary on current discussions about billboard advertising campaigns, covers public opinion polls, and discusses future prospects.
