Three-dimensional Aspect of the Town and Fortress on the Example of Zamość
Three-dimensional Aspect of the Town and Fortress on the Example of Zamość

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to look at Zamość as a three-dimensional spatial construct, which may be compared to an architectural and sculptural work of art. Analysing the external image of the town, its form, characteristic features, and dominant height one may broaden the interpretation by adding figurative, emotive or metaphysical aspects. The text constitutes the development of the thought of Stanisław Herbst, according to which Zamość was designed as a three-dimensional shape, not as a plan. The subject matter was examined using the sources of historical cartography and iconography along with modern aerial photographs. The text also includes the review of scientific publications concerning the subject matter. The observation of the town also played a major role.
