The Great Wrocław Industria – call for papers for the 65th issue of “Quart”

Deadline for submission of papers: 6 June 2022
Printing of the issue: September 2022

Intensive and multifaceted production activities, impressive urban 
expansion, constructional experiments, close connection with urban 
development – the modern Wrocław is a Wrocław of industrial character, 
defined by the brick massifs of factories, chimney risers, and pilaster 
roofs of production halls. For almost 200 years, it was industry and its 
material setting that shaped entire city districts: despite economic 
crises and wartime destruction, the industrial tradition was continued 
and enhanced, and the existing factories were modernized and enlarged, 
creating around them social facilities, schools, factory art galleries, etc.

Does Wrocław’s (and Lower Silesia’s) industrial architecture have any 
special features or a common reference point? What was this architecture 
in the 19th and 20th century urban space, and what is it now – what 
aesthetic and functional potential does it carry, how can it work in 
post-industrial reality? In this issue of Quart, we will reflect on the 
answers (generating further questions), focusing primarily on a few themes:

architecture and space of an industrial plant: internal relations and 
links to the environment,
transformations and modernizations: expansions, introduction of new 
construction and production solutions,
around the plant: image, cultural offer, presence in the city,
industrial sites yesterday and today: revitalization and adaptation, but 
also demolition and documentation of buildings that no longer exist.

Deadline for submission of papers: 6 June 2022
The issue will be published in the 2nd half of September 2022.
Theme editor of the issue: Agata Gabiś, PhD

The texts may refer to the industrial architecture of Wrocław and Lower 
Silesia within its current administrative borders. Papers (from 20,000 
to 40,000 characters in English or in Polish, with up to 10

The editors reserve the right to select given papers. All the submitted
