Małgorzata optimalization of spatial Solutions, raising rational and cost-efficient structures, complying
Omilanowska with the principles of hygiene and practicality. He ranked among the architects searching
for modern Solutions, following new tendencies in European architecture, while also sensi-
tive to customers needs.
Specializing in housing, Weker designed some dozen tenement houses and coop-
erative blocks in Warsaw itself as well as several villas on its outskirts. He participated
in exhibitions promoting social housing. As much as unsuccessful in competitions for
public buildings, he raised several public amenities, such as mountain shelters. His con-
tribution to Pomerania can be found in three, regrettably unimplemented designs: a house
with terraces at Gdynias Kamienna Góra, a cooperative hotel in Jastrzębia Góra, and a spa
house there.
Weker was unąuestionably a well educated talented architect, however his legacy
does not contain any outstanding works. The houses he designed as commissioned by the
cooperatives are functionalistic, though not architectonically attractive. However, every
single design for Pomerania had a strong potential for an outstanding architectural work.
