There is a chance that the hospital complex just off Poznan's Old Market Square will finally cease to haunt. The former city medical center has fallen into new hands: the AP Marchewka company owned by one of the richest Poles. The previous owner, the Orpea company, partially demolished the buildings and canceled the investment. Now a collaboration with the VOX group and a design competition are planned. [...]

The history of its founding dates back to 651. Born on the initiative of the then Parisian bishop St. Landeric, it was established to care for the poor and sick. [...]

Ducted air conditioning - Nevo model

Ducted air conditioning in the home is still relatively uncommon, but against the background of recent years it is gaining popularity. It certainly brings many advantages aesthetically and functionally, as it does not require the well-known "boxes" to be hung on the walls. However, before deciding to install ducted air conditioning, it is worth reviewing some important details. The following [...]

Nowy projekt wypracowany przez projektantów i konserwatora

New design developed by designers and conservationist

© Meritum Projekt

The previous one was opposed by the Silesian conservator of historical monuments, who instead of a square filled with greenery, sees the place as a representative square. The current project is therefore significantly different from the first proposal for greening the square, which was formulated by the City. [...]

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.
