Architects, civil engineers, and other specialists planning modern projects in historical centers of European cities face extremely difficult historical and spatial conditions. They also come across technical problems related to the need to save valuable heritage assets consisting of historical buildings. These problems are most pronounced in cities that have suffered significant war damage. Such cities include Gdańsk (Poland), which was almost completely destroyed during World War II. Despite the successful rebuilding of the city by the post-war generation of builders, there are still empty spaces and quarters, as well as fragments of historic frontages to be filled in the old town of Gdańsk.This article presents several examples of modern developments designed to preserve and coexist with fragments of historic brick buildings. These building projects each faced a similar task; to save and display the historical urban fabric, but they differed significantly in how they chose to achieve that goal. Not all of the projects presented in this study meet the requirements of the Venice Charter equally well. In this field, the solution often means choosing the "lesser evil". Each of the projects presents a unique example of interdisciplinary research used to solve complex construction problems. Numerical analysis using the finite element method (including the damage model based on plastic degradation adopted for brick walls)was carried out for one of the projects
