Abstract
The article describes the works of a very famous Polish modern architect Karol Schayer 1900-1971. Karol Schayer graduated from Lviv University of Technology in Poland. The first part of his work took place in Poland in the prewar period and ended with the start of the Second World War. The most spectacular design from this period was the Silesian Museum Building. Construction of this symbolic building was finished in 1939. Just after their invasion, the Germans decided to demolish this building down to the foundations. After the Second World War communists, who came into power when Russians invaded Poland, decided to build an office building in social-realistic style on the foundations of the demolished museum. This building was a symbol of a new communist world, far from the modern ideas so clearly represented in Schayer’s buildings. At the same time Schayer who decided not to come back to Poland after WWII continued his modern style of design in Lebanon. This gives us a good opportunity to see how the modern architectural movement could have evolved. This continuity was not possible in Poland after the war but was possible in Karol Schayer works in Lebanon.
