This exhibition shows the work of Polish architects, planners and engineers working during the cold war in Africa and the Middle East.
Polish architects and planners were valued in those, often postcolonial, countries.
This is why this show is called PRLtm: People`s Republic of Poland as a brand, recognizable at the global market of intellectual labor.
The architecture and planning exported from Poland was based both on the experieces of the inter-war period...
...and on the experience of large socialist building sites, like the reconstruction of Warsaw or Nowa Huta, with their holistic approach to urban design.
