ARCHITECTURE:
WORKS OF TADEUSZ ZIELIĊSKI - FATHER
FOR HIGHER SCHOOLS IN WARSAW
AGATA WAGNER
After the first world war and Poland regaining independence, the issue of higher education became vital for the revived country. Its development under the Russian partition in the 19th century was intentionally hampered. After reactivation in November 1915 of the higher education institutions in Warsaw â University of Technology and the University â the process of establishing new higher educational institutions started â including the Warsaw School of Economics, the School of Political Sciences, and the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW).
The Architect Tadeusz ZieliĊski designed relatively much in the 1920s for the needs of Warsaw higher education schools by extending the existing complexes of the University of Technology and the University, and also erecting the building for the newly established Warsaw University of Life Sciences. His works include the building of the new drafting room (Nowa KreĊlarnia) in the complex of buildings of the Warsaw University of Technology (compare with A. Wagner, Concept of classic architecture in the building of Nowa KreĊlarnia of the Warsaw University of Technology, Architecture faculty of the Warsaw University of Technology âScientific Studiesâ, Vol. II, 2000-2001, p. 197-206.), rebuilding of the pavilion of artillery barracks at Koszykowa street for the needs of dermatology clinics of the medical faculty of Warsaw University and for the same faculty, the building of the forensic medicines on Oczki street, and the new Chemistry building of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences on Rakowiecka street.
The premature death of Tadeusz ZieliĊski in 1925, before the avant-garde breakthrough in Polish architecture, limited his works to historical forms, based primarily of examples of classical and baroque architecture. The characteristic feature of his works is sensitivity to the urban context, the correctness of functional solutions, and in the first years after regaining independence, spontaneous demonstration of patriotism in the form available to the architect by placing emblems of Polish statehood on all public utility buildings he designed.
