Green roof technology allows more efficient use of space on the plot and serves to combat adverse climate change. In addition to many other advantages, it is these two aspects that make this solution stand out. [...]

Tomasz Malkowski's text, which appeared in the summary of 2020 in architecture, electrified the architectural community for a while. Social networks, which are usually sluggish in reacting to texts about architecture, have debated like never before. Dozens of architects engaged in a heated discussion about their profession. I would like to thank Tomasz Malkowski for sparking this discussion - no matter how much I disagree with him, a public debate about architecture is sorely needed in Poland. [...]

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.
