- Theories, which proved to be misleading have caused more harm in architecture and town planning than unsatisfactory objects. Much more difficult to detect, they were injurious for longer. - If you commit an error while designing an object - you harm an individual. If you propose a mistaken project of an estate, a district or a town, then the consequences will be experienced for decades by thousands of residents. - By belonging to empirical sciences, architecture and town planning call for constant experiments in the application of theory. Today, numerous researchers deal with theory without crossing the thresold of the laboratory. - The ability of analysing the phenomena which have taken place, and continue to do so, in social life, is a condition for the creation of a synthesis comprising a foundation for the theory of town construction. - Errors in architectural works are a frequent occurence. Faulty teaching of architecture and town planning is a much worse offence. Multiplied by he number of students, it prolongs its duration by whole generations. - Town planning denotes the skill of a simultaneous perception of complex social needs and the shaping of space harmonised with the surrounding. It is attained gradually, usually by mature designers. - The project is evidence of talent, but its realisation is a trial and test of character.

Thirty years is a long period in a lifetime. This is how long the authors have worked on the Nowe Tychy-Town-project, and maintained uninterrupted contact with both professors.

The seminar entitled "The Wejchert's Works. A World of Theory and the World of Construction. The Activity of Prof. Kazimierz Wejchert and Prof. Hanna Adamczewska-Wejchert" was held on 15 November 2003 in the Department of Architecture at Warsaw Polytechnic. The session was divided into two parts: "Theory" and "Praxis". The union between those two domains of the activity pursued by the Wejcherts was symbolised by a drawing depicting a tree of theory, straight and soaring, the sort we have yearned for, bending under the impact of assorted factors to become a tree of praxis; this is not to say, however, that everything has gone awry. The first part of the session was inaugurated by Prof. Dr. hab. arch. Andrzej Gawlikowski with a paper on Kazimierz Wejchert - Pedagogue and Scholar. "Praxis" started with a paper read by J. M. Chmielewski: The Town Planning School in the Department of Architecture at Warsaw Polytechnc, in whose development the Wejcherts took a prominent part. The report was accompanied by a paper on Project Theses and the Town Plan and Its Transformations, presented by Prof. Dr. hab. arch. Sławomir Gzell at a conference organised by the Committee of Architecture and Town Planning at the Polish Academy of Sciences: Nowe Tychy - the Town Seen Fifty Years Later, held in Tychy in 2002.
