It is estimated that currently as many as 75% of the buildings built before 2000 in the European Union have poor energy performance. Improving it is crucial to saving energy and achieving the planned zero-carbon building stock by 2050. In short: properly insulating a building translates into less energy required to heat it, which means lower carbon emissions into the atmosphere and lower bills. How to improve the energy performance of a building? [...]

Rewitalizacja w centrum miasta – w poszukiwaniu idealnej przestrzeni do życia

Downtown revitalization - in search of the perfect living space

Photo: B. Barczyk

The centers of large cities are attractive places not only to work, but also to live. Free access to the city's infrastructure ensures comfortable day-to-day functioning there. Unfortunately, dense development - typical of the center - limits the possibility of building new premises, both commercial and residential. According to architects and urban planners, revitalizations of historic tenements and superstructures are an effective solution to this problem. Still, one gets the impression that [...]

Szachty ecological use – an amalgam of nature and industry

© Emilia Cholewa

The subject of the diploma engineering thesis is a project for the development of the Szachty ecological site located in the basin of the Junikowski Stream, in the southwestern part of Poznań. The area, due to the presence of rich clay deposits, was heavily exploited, resulting in numerous post-mining water reservoirs. Thus, there was a reversal of the relationship: after the withdrawal of man, along with his industrial activity, an area with great potential for the development of flora and [...]

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.
