Summary/Abstract: Lecture in Warsaw originated from an invitation to give a lecture on designing public space in Warsaw. What are the foundations for attributing civilizational potential to solid designing there where totalitarian reactions crushed social hope over and over again? The challenge doubled when at the last moment the author found out that the lecture (its initial title was: Scratching the Surface) would not take place in a public place but in the artist’s studio, until recently occupied by an author-deportee (the “Mariusz” in the poem) writing in a place occupied by art.
