Novi Architektura

OK, mini CASE STUDY (on my own skin). We've designed in 2010 a bridge in Duszniki Zdrój / Jamrozowa Polana for biathlon Duszniki Arena. There were many factors / influences of third parties - that generally demanded low cost of er****on of the object and bridge constructor wanted to optimize his work using schemes he used before. This year I've visited the arena for Open European Biathlon Championships and I have to say I SHOULD NOT GO FOR COMPROMISES in terms of achitectural form of the bridge! Money if lost can be earned, but a build object stays and cannot be simply improved. The spectator would not notice and would not care about the cost of the building/object but will certainly notice the form, function and utility. The bridge works fine, great for skiers, but I regret not to stick firmly to the previous ideas for its architectural form. See the renderings and real pictures. :: over and out ::

Long long time without any post, but here it is. Cute, and extremally interesting at the same time - how did people in the past thought of the future in 100 years. Depicted on drawings made in 1900.

Funny thing about this subject is the greenery and balconies at this heights are impossible to build acc to Polish law :/. Anyway I wonder if, on the highest floors, would the weather, wind, sun, temperature fluctuations and quite harsh conditions allow the greenery to grow?

Quite interrsting approach to a housing, building process, recycle and passive idea. Although, while reading the article, it is important to remember that passive house needs almost always a customized and individual approach to a certain lot.
have a nice reading.

Recyclable Home can be Built in Only Four Days A new sustainable housing prototype requires only four days, and practically no tools or specific skills, to assemble.

Hmmm, I should not end this day with tha bad example (see the previous post) so her is a nice example of renovation of historical architecture - Stonemount Castle in Trzebieszowice in Poland - which was a nice spot during our holiday trip.

I KNOW THIS FANPAGE SHOULD PROMOTE ONLY NICE ARCHITECTURE, BUT DURING OUR HOLIDAY TRIP WE'VE FOUND THIS UGLY THING - SO FROM NOW ON I THINK WE WILL ALSO POINT OUT REALL ARCHITECTURE DISASTERS TOO :).

As usual outstanding work! My gratest congrats!

Happy weekend to all ! First small break in..months :- ) Finished project with failed SSD disk as reward... god bless NAS. Picture from Corona renderer with "slight" artistic licence, the view in reality sucks, just like reality.
