A saying was once coined - "we protect a monument until it falls". Many objects have fallen at the stage of discussing the protection of a single wooden beam. And I proceed from the assumption that if I have to save the object, I will sacrifice this beam," says Dariusz Chmielewski, since February the Pomeranian Regional Conservator of Monuments, in this position also sat in the years 2012-2016 [...]

The architectural complex, built in the 19th century, is located on Lasztownia Island. The original purpose of the selected building will be replaced by a vegan restaurant project.

Modern residential architecture is often characterized by an open layout, in which the various spaces and functions in a room merge with each other. The kitchen is sometimes integrated with the living room, or the workspace flows seamlessly into the living area. Furniture with rotating and folding/sliding doors is a clever solution for designing such transitions - without compromising quality of life. [...]

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.
