I still love Poland, and would be happy to live in most any area, and wish I could.

It is not the buildings that make Poland great, any styles, it is her People. I wish I could live there. I hope someday to move there.

Artistic vision - a skyscraper made of 18 million tons of rubble which covered Warsaw in 1945 and had to be removed.  |

I find the loss of the old architecture really sad...but I also prefer the greenery of now-a-day Wroclaw to the modern buildings of Gdansk.

Olecko, ex-German town, belongs to those places which were rebuilt but in a communist style. Before the war, tenement houses which weren`t too beautiful  but still much better than ugly blocks after the war.  Bisztynek, also ex-German, wasn`t rebuilt, the houses seen today survived the war, the ruins were simply pulled down.   |

Basis for a new district - today it is located on a small hill Stadium, Skiing slope, A few mounds Oh, of course, that makes sense! The rubble looks great covered up now...too bad for all the destroyed buildings, personal property, and destroyed lives that comprise it. Those Polish people are very clever, though, in their solutions!  ...Or was it the Russians....?? |

Those Polish people are very clever, though, in their solutions! ...Or was it the Russians....?? It wasn`t Russians nor Soviets. The Capital Reconstruction Office was made solely of Polish architects who survived the war. Some of them were communists but many were not, so they had to reach compromises over a large number of issues. Today many of their decisions, controvercial at the time, are supported by modern architects. pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biuro_Odbudowy_Stolicy |
