Abstract

The main purpose of this article was to perform an analysis of the geometric characteristics for Gothic Revival churches located in the Podkarpacie District. The authors explored five churches designed by Stanisław Majerski - an architect from Przemyśl who created at the beginning of the 20th century. In order to create point clouds of the studied buildings, the authors used the TLS method to provide the credibility of the study. The obtained data were subjected to statistical analysis. Geometry of the facades, spatial systems and trajectory of vault arch were examined. As a result, we obtained estimated values of studied parameters that characterized the geometric oscillate of Stanisław Majerski’s churches.

Highlights

  • Polish historical architecture was created mostly under the impact of foreign trends

  • According to our best knowledge, there is no previous research in this field concerning analysis of the Gothic Revival churches located in the Podkarpacie District despite the large number of architecture monuments designed in that era

  • Each of the churches located in the places mentioned above has its own unique style, but with widespread analysis of several objects, it is possible to obtain average values that will be used for the study of Gothic Revival style in the Podkarpacie District

Summary

Introduction

Polish historical architecture was created mostly under the impact of foreign trends. According to our best knowledge, there is no previous research in this field concerning analysis of the Gothic Revival churches located in the Podkarpacie District despite the large number of architecture monuments designed in that era. Most of buildings designed by him have survived to this day being a reliable area of research. Places where he designed include among others Bircza, Pantalowice, Kołaczyce, Przemyśl and Korczyna [1]. Each of the churches located in the places mentioned above has its own unique style, but with widespread analysis of several objects, it is possible to obtain average values that will be used for the study of Gothic Revival style in the Podkarpacie District. Presented effects should be treated as preliminary results of extensive study concerning the Gothic Revival style in Podkarpacie District (Fig. 1), which we are going to perform
