Writing a thesis is a challenge. Not only did we have to choose interesting us / our promoter / and the reviewer, the subject, it's still spend eternity in the library tudziez on the internet (the basic source of knowledge ;-). Some, however, decide on a more ambitious option, commonly referred to as "driving without trzymanki, writing on a little explored topic ... Skalimowski Andrew, a graduate of the Historical Institute of Warsaw University, interested in the post-war architecture of the capital, decided to write a bit forgotten symbol of the Stalinist era - House Party (for our younger readers a small hint about the Central Committee of Polish United Workers' Party Central Committee at a glance who was / loves to de Gaulle roundabout in Warsaw). The case was so complicated that this 59-year-old building were never actually ANY publications, and most of the information (including plans building) has been classified. Therefore remain a visit to the archives and interviews with eyewitnesses of the construction of former employees, current managers, architects, viewing the post-war press ... The enormity of effort and research, which was crowned with not only aiming thesis, but also it is published (a book titled "House Party, the history of Central Committee building in Warsaw, has just appeared, and your tireless Stylesetterki had the pleasure to participate in the meeting by copyright). Promotion of this publication took place on 10 February., No where else but in the old house party, Wladyslaw Gomulka in his office! During the meeting the voice took not only the author of the book, but also the history professors, architects, and Warsaw guides. Surprising that the building that for nearly 40 years served as the seat of central government party, and 89 'has become a symbol of modernity, becoming the first headquarters of the Stock Exchange, part of Warsaw is associated only with a living room or neighborhood Ferarri artificial palm tree ... Once an object of admiration, respect and even fear, today is completely overlooked. Despite its severity (reinforced concrete) has numerous advantages classicist. He had a example of the monumental and the fight against the provincial aspect of the capital.
highly recommend a trip to this fascinating building and read a book you Skalimowskiego, which, apart from teaching, has a reasonable price and volume ;-)
