Abstract
The article analysed the programs and teaching methods at the Faculty of Architecture of the Gdańsk University of Technology in terms of hand drawing as the basic means of architectural teaching in the 20th century. Contemporary changes in this area are also presented.
The Gdańsk University of Technology (Technische Hochschule Danzig) was established in 1904 as a university with German as the language of instruction. The Faculty of Architecture existed there from the beginning. In 1945, the former was transformed into the Polish Gdańsk University of Technology (Politechnika Gdańska). After 1945, the Faculty of Architecture of the Gdańsk University of Technology continued mainly the traditions of the two faculties existing before World War II at the Lviv University of Technology and the Warsaw University of Technology, and the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Vilnius. The most important was the tradition of the Lviv school, from which the curriculum was transferred almost unchanged after 1945 and from which most of the teachers at the Gdańsk Faculty came.
