Orawa - architektoniczna rodzimość regionu jako oznaka małej ojczyzny. Wspomnienia z połowy XX wieku.

Orawa - a small complex of homelands

This is a story about the native character of the Orawa region from the middle  of the 20th century. The native character of the region is formed by customs as well as homeliness of verbal forms surrounding a human being. What was the reason for their lasting for centuries and in what way do they have to exist in our generation to be further cultivated or rejected? Can the native character of the regional forms be exalted to the rank of national style or can the forms create a direction of development and the future of Polish architecture? The distinct separate character of the Orawa architecture inspired the search for creative models in tradition in order to think, feel and build in Polish style. Five Orawa climatic sub regions created many worlds of small homelands during centuries, not so long ago closed in the borders of a few Villages. They formed continually a new image of homelands closed today in the verily dead ethnographic museum.
