Modernism, as an architectural style, was born out of the need to create buildings that are functional, simple in form and responsive to the needs of a changing society. In Poland, the interwar period was a time of extraordinary flourishing of this aesthetic, as evidenced by objects such as the Horse Racing Track in Służewiec, the Silesian Skyscraper in Katowice or the Seafarer's House in Gdynia. These buildings, despite the passing years, still inspire architects and urban planners around the world.

This album is not only a collection of beautiful photographs, but above all a fascinating story about people, ideas and dreams that found their reflection in architecture.
