Warsaw,
in the heart of Europe, is constantly changing. Next to lovely
parks and romantic corners rise modern buildings of glass
and steel.
Carefully restored heritage buildings and pearls of contemporary
architecture make Warsaw what it is today, a city at the
nexus of East and West.
This unique mixture shapes its urban visage, making it a truly
European capital. This is the Warsaw that the publisher's
latest album shows.
Wojciech Kryński's superb photographs and Jerzy S. Majewski's
introduction convey the changes in the capital city's architecture
that have taken
place over the past decades. This
album was honored in the Polish Association of Book Publishers "Most
Beautiful Books of the Year" Competition in April 2006.
"Whatever the unbounded
fantasy of the colorist can conceive, can glimpse ... you will see in the exterior
and interior compositions.
These are true futurist dreams, incarnate in pliant, obedient
glass material."
Stefan Żeromski, Early Spring, "Glass Houses"
