Let's draw a new map of Poland. Not a new administrative division abolishing or creating communes and districts, shifting the borders of provinces. Let's sketch - if only in our imagination - a map that will help us see the country's settlement network as it exists at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century. With big cities and their agglomerations, with the main directions of daily traffic. A map showing the creeping urbanization encroaching on former rural municipalities, the [...]

Something to sweeten the deal for fans of demolished specimens of Polish postmodernism: a building is to be constructed in Poznań that seems to allude to the achievements of this colorful trend.

Scents are excellent carriers of memories. Sometimes it takes just a few seconds of passing someone in a crowd who uses a familiar perfume, the aroma of a childhood favorite cake floating in the kitchen or the scent of summer flowers to transport us to another place, another time. Warsaw perfumery Mood Scent Bar, in addition to, of course, acting on the sense of smell, intensely affects the sense of sight, transporting customers to an underwater world. [...]

It's hard to look for a correlation between the money spent by local governments on greenery and residents' opinions on parks and green spaces. This conflict is no surprise - local governments wonder why the govt. doesn't appreciate the sums, and residents why no one continues to listen to them. [...]

Drawing on this multifaceted history, the project to revitalize the Old Factory building, a remnant of the Büttner family's cloth [...]

More and more elaborate municipal buildings are being built in Poznan. We have just learned about the designs of three houses in the Główna district. They are much better than the realization of a few years ago, and even than the rather successful and younger investment on Opolska Street. The method of selection: a tender. So is an architectural competition unnecessary? [...]

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.
