The competition marked a significant time frame, serving as a kind of beginning for the construction of the new city centre of Łódź. Although all the competition projects were created in the spirit of Modernism, the design solutions proposed by the architects clearly differed from each other. The article is an analysis of archival projects accessed through in-depth research covering a range of different sources (including archives, literature, studies, and industry and daily press). The article presents the way of thinking about the city by contemporary architects and urban planners. It also emphasizes that Modernism was not a homogeneous trend, and within its framework, projects could be created that were on the one hand similar, but on the other hand very diverse.}, title={Different faces of modernism on the example of the 1960s competition for the city centre of Łódź}, type={Article}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/137957/2025-TEKA-66.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2025.157384}, keywords={post-war Modernism, modernist reconstruction, new city centre of Łódź, architecture and urban planning of Łódź}, }
