The „S” block — discussed by the author is situated at the East End of the Old Town in Toruń, dose to the fortified walls which separate the town from the territories of the Old Teutonic Knight’s castle. The Mostowa Street constituted the fare part of parcels, while the Podmuma Street was a household drive way to their subsidiaries. The following groups of structures have been distinquished in the modernization project: a) Monuments expected to be totally preserved together with interior decorations e.g, Fenger’s palace complex with (numerous Baroque elements of interior decorations extended in the first half of the 18th century i(the structure is designed for the Institute of Monument Theory and Conservation at M. Kopernik University in Toruń); the tenement houses in the Mostowa Street No 22, 24, 26, 28, which have the gabarits of storeys and Gothic front and courtyard elevations — almost totally preserved (they are assigned for public utilités); b) Buildings with business apartments on the ground- -floor and flats on the upper storeys. In this case the project stipulates for enlargement of store-rooms on the ground-floor by the total building an sites, whereas social subsidiaries are to be located in premises with extremely narrow rooms en suite added on the first floor. In this the terrace accessible from the first floor flats has been obtained; _ c) Administrative buildings. In this block several institutions have their administrative apartments for which two buildings No 32 and 34 have been whorly designed. They are of office character. d) Dwelling-houses in the oMstowa Street No 16, 18 and 20 have been wholy assigned for flats. Their windows an the ground floor are situated high. They warrant isolation from the street and good insolation. e) Subsidiary buildings to which belong: the boiler house, the transform station and laystalls. In future the whole Old ToWn will be heated by warmth-piping. At present we plan two boiler houses for the „S” block. It has also been suggested to build laystalls in the frontage of the Podmuma StreeL Underground passages lead there from the building in the Mostowa Street. Playgrounds are situated in the castle moats nearby. Last of all it is proper to emphasize the fact that the principal — the Toruń Gity Caunsil — has proposed to extend the project in such a way to show adaptation possibilities of particular buildings. It should also present usable living spaces for which appropriate tenants would be sought for

The plan o f the revival of the building at 2, Marktstrasse in Quedlinburg (GDR) was made according to the programme put forward by the investor and the building was to be inhabited. However, during architectural studies a number of interesting discoveries was made, because o f which the original concept had to be changed and the building was earmarked for public use, as only such a function made possible to display all uncovered elements. One o f the most important uncoveries were shooting openings found in the southern brick-wall at the height o f the first floor. Originally, the wall did not belong to any o f the buildings and represented the remains of the former murus forensis which made the first ring of town retrenchments. The use o f opus emplectum in the facing made from stone blocks speaks for its early dating (12th—13th century). When examining a complicated building-up o f the site it has been found out that the oldest o f the preserved buildings is an outbuilding coming from ca 1500 in which the beam endings in the overhanging are profiled in a way typical o f that period, i.e. with a pointed pear-shaped motif. In 1569 a pulled-down Gothic front building was replaced with the present Renaissance house. However, its decoration includes elements that were not generally found, just to mention the block framing and double arcades in which one can see rare Italian effects. It has also been found out that at first the building was 1 m. shorter on its northern side, just as „the sun” motif going into the wall was uncovered. These changes were introduced at the time when a high thoroughfare was closed down and an entresol floor was introduced, with the ground floor built up and only a narrow passage into the courtyard left. Soon after the erection o f the front house, the outbuilding I was put up, thanks to which the buildings, separate until then, were combined to form the entity. The building from 1893, which used to hold a bakery, and which was rather devoid of style, was pulled down. The most essential problem for conservators was to consolidate rather a weak construction. To this end, construction walls (U /2 brick wide) were executed from inside, with all elements o f the wooden construction set into it. Old wood was hardened. The wall introduced from inside made it possible to preserve original wooden elements seen from outside and also to undersling original tie-beams. With regard to the elevation, a compromise solution was adopted: the ground floor with well-preserved classicist-like framings o f windows and woodwork, rebuilt in the first half of the 19th century, was left unchanged, while the floors were restored to their original shape, easily noticeable thanks to a number o f genuine elements preserved. And thus, it was not difficult to read the course of the original listel as well as width and height of window orifices enlarged in the 19th century. The facade was left uncoloured, as it was difficult to reconstruct it properly. Natural colours of wood were kept: old elements were left in dark brown, while reconstructed elements had a natural colour of oak.
