The classic model of a tilt-and-turn window, up to a height of 1.5 meters, is becoming a thing of the past - they are increasingly seen in the background. Glazing is growing in sight - its area and role is increasing. This is an excellent way to blur the boundary between inside and outside, to create an "unenclosed space" offering additional space for [...]

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.
