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. [...]

It has been merrily training its algorithms on our landscape and housing in conspiracy. So it's time to return honor to the designers, officials and investors obsessed with its creations. [...]

po prostu, krótko mówiąc: Wro

simply put, in short: Wro

Wro. Wro. Breslau. The capital of mysterious Lower Silesia. The city of Eberhard Mock. The most densely populated by dwarves (there are more than a thousand of them here!) place in Poland. The headquarters of the famous zoo. The place of action of the series "Great Water". Home of fourteen Nobel laureates. The largest of all the Recovered Territories. A key heir to the Polish legacy of the lost city of Lviv. All these perspectives in their own way describe this remarkable city - an archipelago [...]

Ulica Kościelna w Poznaniu

Church Street in Poznań

A mood swing is being set up for residents by the Poznań authorities. The reason? Plans for the revaluation of the unique and green Church Street. Joy from the long-awaited renewal is mixed with bitterness, because the contractor for the project will be selected in... a tender. The main criterion: price. "You don't design such important spaces this way," comments the president of the Poznan SARP. [...]

Only one tree had to be cut down for an intimate yoga practice facility by the studio Mili Młodzi Ludzie. The small buildings fit very well into the wooded plot. A successful sculptural form was created at the same time partly from recycled materials. The mood of the interior and exterior perfectly harmonize with the function of the pavilions. [...]

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.
