„Nowy splot we wzorze — Sanktuarium motyli monarchów”

"New weave in pattern - Monarch butterfly sanctuary".

After awakening from their winter sleep in California or Mexico, they head thousands of miles north. The record-breaking distance makes them the only insects in the world to migrate so far and, according to National Geographic, the most puzzling of butterflies. The migratory monarch butterflies with their distinctive orange-black wing coloration, as they are referred to, are now an endangered species through destructive human activities - including logging and the use of herbicides. The shelter [...]

Well Bo in Sweden. Västra Hamnen district in Malmö

Błażej Ciarkowski, 01 of June '23
przestrzeń publiczna w Västra Hamnen ma za zadanie integrować mieszkańców; plac miejski został połączony ze skwerem i skateparkiem; w tle widoczne relikty świadczące o industrialnej przeszłości miejsca

The public space in Västra Hamnen is designed to integrate residents; the town square has been combined with a square and skatepark; in the background you can see relics that testify to the industrial past of the place

In October 2001, in the pages of A&B, Piotr Czyzewski, writing about the Bo01 development in the Västra Hamnen district of Malmö, used the slogan "city of the future." The combination of high-quality architecture, unconventional urban planning and pro-environmental solutions was to be the path that - in the footsteps of the Swedish city - other centers would follow. Today, after more than twenty years, how does the future look like, which has already arrived? [...]

Every day, design consciences are pursued by reproaches. Either those generated by the plastic packaging discarded after a lunch eaten on the run, or those of a much larger caliber, related to the question of where our chalking up more square meters of PUM leads. We scour foreign magazines, portals, sites, travel with our finger on the map, making pilgrimages to the next building pearls. We generate design promises and dream that maybe someday pilgrims will visit our work too. [...]

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.
