About the journal

The annual „Studia do dziejów architektury i urbanistyki w Polsce” („Studies on the History of Architecture and Urban Planning in Poland”) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Warsaw University of Technology, financed by the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology.

The annual „Studia do dziejów architektury i urbanistyki w Polsce” („Studies on the History of Architecture and Urban Planning in Poland) was established on the initiative of the staff of the Department of Polish Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology, who thus decided to revive the tradition, initiated in the late 1920’s by its founder Oskar Sosnowski, which was interrupted after 1945, of the publication by the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology of scholarly periodicals devoted to the problems of the history and documentation of architecture and urbanism of the past and present Republic of Poland. One of these was the „Biuletyn Historii Sztuki i Kultury” („Bulletin of the Art and Cultural History”), the continuation of which is the periodical „Biuletyn Historii Sztuki” („Bulletin of Art History”), published to this day by the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The other, not reactivated after the war, was the periodical „Studia do dziejów sztuki w Polsce" (Studies on the History of Art in Poland), of which the annual „Studia do dziejów architektury i urbanistyki w Polsce” is a specific continuation. It was created on the basis of the continuous publication of the Department of Polish Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture in Warsaw University of Technology, under the same title published since 2018.

No less importantly, the reason for the establishment of the annual „Studia do dziejów archi-tektury i urbanistyki w Polsce” („Studies on the History of Architecture and Urban Planning in Poland”) was also felt by many contemporary scholars of architecture and urban planning of the past and present Republic of Poland to be the lack of a scholarly journal with such a substantive profile in our country.

In accordance with its assumptions, the annual „Studia do dziejów architektury i urbanistyki w Polsce” („Studies on the History of Architecture and Urban Planning in Poland”)  is therefore a place for the publication of the results of scientific works concerning important issues in the history, research and documentation of architecture and urban planning from the past and present of the Republic of Poland, from the Middle Ages to the present day. The annual journal also publishes studies on the lives and scientific achievements of eminent authors and researchers in the history of Polish architecture and urban planning. In this way, it provides an opportunity to disseminate the results of research to a wide range of Polish and foreign scholars specialising in the broadly understood problems of architecture and urban planning in the past and present-day Republic of Poland, while at the same time filling the lack in our country of a scholarly journal with such a profile.
