Tomasz Pajzderski

Polish architect (1864-1908)

Tomasz Pajzderski belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.

The record lists Tomasz Pajzderski as Polish architect (1864-1908).

Tomasz Pajzderski was born at Jeżewo in 1864. His recorded nationality is Poland.

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.

His best-known building is Church of Saints Simon and Helena. Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.

That the work was built in Poland shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.

Tomasz Pajzderski died in 1908, aged 44. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
