Zdobne fasady, smętne palimpsesty : nie tylko o wyglądzie łódzkich osiedli robotniczych

Grażyna Ewa Karpińska

Abstract

The facade and the palimpsest are metaphors by means of which it is possible to describe any city, its users, functions and events. I use them to present working-class residential estates, that is definite architectural creations within a city. The number of layers and richness of meanings inscribed therein permit me to focus on only a few of them, to present selected phenomena associated with them, and to describe what they are telling us and in whose name they speak

Keywords:

working-class estates, façade, palimpsest, Łódź
