In the history of building, Tadeusz Rostworowski is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Tadeusz Rostworowski as Polish architect (1860-1928).
Tadeusz Rostworowski was born at Kowalewszczyzna in 1860. His recorded nationality is Congress Poland. He trained at Imperial Academy of Arts.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect.
Among his best-known works are Chapel-burial-vault of Skirmunt family, Moladava and Shchuchyn Palace. An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
That the work was built in Congress Poland shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Tadeusz Rostworowski died in 1928, aged 68. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
