Good morning Breslau, or my WrocLove!

From the series MULTI-CITIES

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. [...]

I would like to be able to discuss at the beginning of the year the latest "Report on the Situation of Polish Cities"—not of urban local governments, not of real estate markets or the situation of households, but presenting signals from various areas and gathering them into a meaningful whole. We collect signals all the time, we talk about them, trying to assess their importance and to what extent they herald lasting changes, important trends, to what extent they make us rethink some aspect of [...]

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.
