The December issue of A&B was supposedly funny. In order not to come off as a grump, and in order to laugh every now and then while reading, I asked the good people to tickle me time and again. The support was legitimate, right down to the work of Oskar Grąbczewski, whom, like him to me, I also respect - as a man, a friend and an architect [...]

Urban markets are a double-edged sword. They can be a credit to the local community or, conversely, lead to its scorn. This unique urban space also has hidden potential, which an interdisciplinary team from Gdansk has explored. [...]

Ejaculatory prayer

In our Beskydy cottage in one of the rooms or rather chambers there is a specific library. It is a not at all small collection of quite old or very old books experiencing their quiet retirement. As I am very fond of books and never throw them away, a collection of books that no one reads or returns to or looks at anymore has accumulated in our urban apartment over time. [...]

Truth, shorthand and simplicity

A column by Jakub Szczęsny

Jakub Szczęsny, 26 of January '23

Jakub Szczęsny

Once upon a time, my Lord Father, Cher Papa, used to say that the truth counts. The truth always counts, and it's simple: how one helps the landraces disappear from the glass bowl on the table into the depths of one's own digestive tract, and then pretends in front of grandma that the landraces were eaten by the cat. Or how one gets four notes in the diary and hides the diary secretly under the sofa, claiming that the bad guys stole it. [...]

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.
