Where it came from
Published in 1973 by the University Press of Virginia, this volume serves as a comprehensive archive of the work of Matthew Nowicki, a Polish-American architect and educator who died prematurely in a plane crash in 1950. The collection was curated to preserve the legacy of a visionary who was instrumental in bringing modern architectural sensibilities to mid-century America, most notably through his work on the J.S. Dorton Arena in Raleigh and his involvement in the early master planning of Chandigarh.
The book highlights Nowicki’s philosophy of 'form following function' while blending organic, expressive aesthetics with rigorous structural engineering. Through a curated selection of his sketches, technical notes, and essays, the text illustrates his belief that architecture should be deeply rooted in the cultural and environmental context of its time. It remains a foundational resource for scholars and historians, offering insight into the collaborative processes of an architect whose career, though brief, significantly influenced international modernism.
