Architectural transformations on the Market Square in Krakow - A systematic visual catalogue
Résumé
Passing on the knowledge of a “historical object”, as it is - together with its doubts and open questions - is a challenging task. This book is an attempt to trace, structure and present visually what is known, or ill-known, about the architectural transformations of the objects that stand or once stood on Krakow’s Main Market Square. It can be seen as a catalogue summing up in a synthetic way an admittedly fairly wide - but nevertheless not exhaustive - selection of facts and information on wooden and brick- or stone-built objects. Frequently described monumental architectural objects are investigated, along with some less known to the large public, and about which it is easier to remain silent than to write due to the extent of the unknown. The text and visual materials introduce and exemplify an interdisciplinary method (bridging historical sciences and information visualisation), the purpose of which is to depict accurately how much we know about the past of architectural objects.
