Summary/Abstract: Schools, not only in Poland but also in many other countries, have to undergo thorough changes in respect to quality. Changes in the school of the future can be started by scientists representing various disciplines, understanding the need of its multistage and multidirectional qualitative changes, who shall, in this way, pay back the debt they made at respective educational levels. Therefore, there is a need for such scientists to develop the interdisciplinary school studies, that is scholiology. One of the chapters of the Science of School (Kuźma 2011: 243–256) was devoted to the role of architecture in the contemporary and future school. Concluding my article I say that in the architectural space of school, thanks to the architect's imagination, spirit meets matter and students are given an opportunity to experience art which directly affects their aesthetical education and development of spatial imagination. This reflection is the leitmotif of the present article.
