In 1993, a controversial icon of capitalist change was created in Wroclaw - the Solpol building. From the beginning it aroused numerous emotions among residents and the conservation community. For many, it became an architectural nightmare that had to be removed from the city's skyline as soon as possible. Despite the divisions and controversy, the building also had supporters, noting its architectural and historical value. Many of them fought for the building to be entered in the register of [...]

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.
