A HISTORICAL OUTLINE OF THE COLOR OF ARCHITECTURE IN POLAND AND SLOVAKIA AFTER 1945

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present a study of how the color schemes of architecture ended to change and presented themselves after 1945 in Poland and Slovakia. For the purposes of this investigation all types of buildings were examined – the study does not distinguish between listed buildings and other historical buildings. It offers an overview of exterior colour choices in architecture since 1945 in Poland and Slovakia using studies in literature sources, archive research, survey responses and own field research.
