Abstract: The Author of the paper presents his own point of view on conservation rules concerning the historical space based on his own architectural practice – using the Plac Litewski – (Litewski Square), the major historical public space in Lublin – as an example of an architectural and urban revitalization concept (2010). In a search of the right answer within the winning competition project, the Author presents the principles and rationale behind the concept resulting from his attempt to understand locality and read out correctly the ‘DNA’ of a place with all its layers of diverse local history respecting the existing ‘Identity Code’.
