@ARTICLE{Lenartowicz_Krzysztof_J._On_2024, author={Lenartowicz, Krzysztof J.}, volume={vol. LII/1}, journal={Teka Komisji Urbanistyki i Architektury Oddziału Polskiej Akademii Nauk w Krakowie}, pages={169–191}, howpublished={online}, year={2024}, publisher={Polsh Academy of Sciences, Branch in Kraków (Polska Akademia Nauk Oddział w Krakowie)}, abstract={This paper presents an entirely unknown text by Professor Juliusz Żórawski (1889–1967), an important architect of the Modernist period and Poland’s most important architectural theorist, a global pioneer in interpreting architecture with gestalt psychology methods. The text presented here is a typescript of 247+1 pages. The paper discusses the features of the language in this work, the presumed sources of the text (the Author’s publications, lectures transcribed by a third party, transcriptions by ear), its distinctive features and the difficulties of reading and interpreting it, and parts of the work that have been previously published in print are identified. Aside from the typescript, in which the name of the Chapter appears in three places, the preliminary edited version presented here identifies twelve thematic units that make up the entirety of the work under discussion: 1) Limited complexity; 2) Needs and intentions; 3) Maximum and minimum in architecture; 4) Integration of factuality and artisticity; 5) Monumentality and harmony; 6) On non-compositionality in architecture; 7) Architecture committed by rationality; 8) Great sets; 9) the Great Breakthrough; 10) Composing; 11) the Athens Charter; 12) Other. An attempt was made to summarise and analyse the value of the work and discuss the need to publish either the entire work or its hitherto unpublished elements, which represent 55% of the text in question.}, type={Article}, title={On an Unknown Work by Juliusz Żórawski: A Presentation Attempt}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/134115/PDF/07_Teka_tom_specjalny_2024_popr1.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2024.152190}, keywords={Juliusz Żórawski, limited complexity, rationality in architecture, non-compositionality, commitment in architecture, great sets, great breakthrough (1820–1930), Athens Charter}, }
