description Paper sums up different types of wooden leisure architecture of surroundings of Lodz, pointing at the most notable, emerging at the time of modernism, „glass house” made of wood. They emerged, in the mid-30s, as a fulfillment of a few garden-cities (conceived mostly as a leisure towns). Wooden houses, built in at least three different styles (local village-like, national and modern), became part of densely set-up complexes. Leisure houses were used as intended, only for a few years, before the World War II. Their use has changed form leisure to all-year housing, lasting till now, causing many conservational, technical and social problems. Now, among the growing knowledge of their value to history of architecture and urbanism, some ideas how to renew them, appear. A few of them are proposed by the local society of Kolumna „forest-city”.
