RE: Post-Communist Bloc Mentality: Part I

in #travel7 years ago

Do you know more about who the architects themselves were (if that's even possible to track down)? I wonder what it was like training to be an architect for this style, compared to some of the designs found in other communist countries at the time. Fascinating stuff.

Alot of what was specifically shown in my article has been renovated since Poland transitioned away from communism. The town in the pictures specifically is Pińczów. There's a quarry in Pińczów which provided stone for many projects, including the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw. Thanks for the comment and be sure to read the next article tomorrow!
