Another online meeting organized by Warsaw Modernism 1905-1939will be held tomorrow. The architect Czeslaw Przybylski is known to most residents of the capital thanks to the buildings he designed, including the "House without corners" on Krakowskie Przedmieście Street. Once again, the organizers invite in front of computer screens and phone monitors to broadcast the meeting online.
The meeting dedicated to Czeslaw Przybylski will be the fifth in the second season of lectures in the "Three Generations of Warsaw Architects" series. The broadcast will take place tomorrow, June 24 at 6:30 pm simultaneously on the websites ofWarsaw Modernism and the Warsaw Uprising Museum.
The hero of the upcoming meeting will be Professor Czeslaw Przybylski, who lived between 1880and 1936. This architect was one of the most important professors and promoters of modern architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology. Although at the beginning of his career he designed academic-style buildings, over the years he created many recognizable and modern edifices, mainly in Warsaw. After World War I, the buildings he designed were characterized by an increasingly simple form.
Most Varsovians are familiar with the "House without Edges" edifice on Krakowskie Przedmieście, or the demolished main train station building on Jerozolimskie Avenue. These are not the only surviving realizations of the prematurely deceased professor, who was the creator of residential houses, villas, schools and many other public buildings.
