Over 3,000 churches were built in Poland between 1945 and 1989,
despite the socialist state's hostility towards religion. We call
this Day-VII Architecture. Built by parishioners from scavenged or
pinched materials, the churches were at once an expression of faith
and a form of anti-government protest. Their fantastic designs
broke with the state's rigid urbanism. Neither legal nor
prohibited, the construction of churches during this period engaged
the most talented architects and craftspeople, who in turn enabled
parish communities to build their own houses of worship. These
community projects eventually became crucial sites for the
democratization of Poland. Unearthing the history of these churches
through photography and interviews with their designers, this
publication sheds new light on the architectural dimension of
Poland's trans-formation from state socialism to capitalism.
