Curatorial context

The album 'Budujemy nowy dom' examines the post-war reconstruction of Warsaw, a period marked by both controversy and significant achievement. It focuses on the crucial role of the Biuro Odbudowy Stolicy (BOS) in shaping the city's form. While some decisions, like the demolition of 19th-century tenements, faced criticism, the efforts of individuals like Prof. Jan Zachwatowicz were instrumental in saving historic districts.
