The architectural identity of rural housing in the Sudety Region
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
Bonds with the place of residence, identity with local culture and manners of erecting buildings, rendered indelible by local traditionalism, are regarded as one the most important factors. Once they become disturbed, e.g. by an exchange of the population of a certain region, then that what was familiar and recognised as one's own and native, changes into unknown, alien and even outright despised by the new users. Such a total severance of cultural continuity as regards customs and civil engineering emerged in the Western Territories, where after the second world war settlers from assorted parts of Poland replaced the deported population. One is tempted to ask whether it is possible to continue the tradition of local architecture, unknown to arrivals in newly settled regions, or whether solutions befitting the material culture of the settlers should come into being? What is the part played by time and the exchange of generations? The search for answers to those enquiries demands a closer look at the continuation of regional architecture in areas with more stable determinants of the development of material culture as well as those which witnessed its disruption. We cannot ignore the exemplary phenomenon of architecture in the region of Podhale, and may ponder whether a continuation of the motifs of regional architecture is possible without the population which had created that architecture. In the case of the Podhale region, traditional motifs were adopted by the intelligentsia, pointing out to their authors values embedded in local constructions as well as the necessity and trends of its further progress. Is it possible to rely on the inspiring role of architects and local civil engineering services in the continuation of the regional architecture of the Sudety Mts.? Will the population living here since 1945 adopt and start perpetuating the local traditions? Yet another issue is worthy of reflection: in what way has the reception of the values of the material culture of the Sudety region changed among the second generation living here? In accordance with research into ethnographic regionalisation, the whole of Silesia, including Lower Silesia, remained a transitory area which witnessed a confrontation of the influence of the material culture of the West - spandrel beam constructions, saddle roofs, single-storey rural buildings - and the impact of the material culture of the East associated with gable constructions, hip roofs and elongated ground-floor cottages. In the Sudety Mts. divergent impacts combine the features of German, Czech and Lusatian architecture as well as its counterparts from Greater Poland, Little Poland or the Opole region, blended into a specific type of rural houses, usually described as regional architecture (fig. 1, 2). Considerable parts of the southern counties of the region were not destroyed during the second world war, and the population arriving here from the eastern parts of Poland encountered buildings adapted to a different system of agriculture, with unfamiliar planning, construction and architecture. The absence of ties with local culture, and thus with the manner of building and living in those objects, became the reason for a total misunderstanding of the solutions found in the Sudety Mts.
