Capital's ugliest promenade closer to metamorphosis

Kacper Kępiński, 24 of March '23

Visualization of Chmielna Street

Chmielna Street is actually Warsaw's only pedestrian zone. Despite this, pedestrians cannot feel safe there. At the same time, years of neglect mean that the street can compete for the title of Poland's ugliest promenade. This is all set to change with the planned reconstruction, which is set to begin later in [...]

Rivers that were canalized decades ago are returning to the space of city centers. This is the case in the world. In our country, the problem is the restoration of the bed of a small river in a recreation area. Although a sensible restoration project has been created, the public investor does not want to implement it. The reason? Ad hoc interest, lack of coordination and a misunderstood concept of cost. [...]

As of recently, in Poznań, it is now possible to report illegal advertising carriers. Reporting is easy, but you will have to wait for the effect in public space. [...]

architecture

Architecture is the art of designing and building spatial forms and shaping the space between them. According to Vitruvius, author of the treatise "On Architecture of Books Ten," the basic principles of designing and constructing buildings are durability, utility and beauty.

Architecture provides a framework for living, working, learning and entertaining. The history of architecture is also the history of human civilization. It has shaped and changed over the centuries in accordance with the needs, current trends and available technological solutions. To this day, we can marvel at the elements of architecture of ancient cultures, admire the dominant styles in different centuries and see the diversity in architecture in different parts of the world.
