ABSTRACT
The article is an attempt to show various ways of presenting architectural concepts of the interwar period in Poland on the example of the activities of selected artists (mainly from the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology). The case study includes drawings in the academic style (including the works of Marian Lalewicz), avant-garde graphics by artists from the circle of Blok and Praesens, clearly influenced by Dutch neoplasticism, the German Bauhaus school (including the works of Bohdan Lachert and Józef Szanajca) and illustrations from the second half of the 1930s (including the works of Juliusz Żórawski and Bohdan Pniewski).
