    Publication

    - Year 2013

    Publikacja daje wgląd w procesy kształtowania połączeń wody i form zbudowanych. W obserwowanych współcześnie eksperymentach struktury budynków przeplatają się z zarysami pól wodnych, powstają konstrukcje architektoniczne unoszące się na różnego rodzaju platformach pływających. Woda jest także coraz częściej włączana w projekty urbanistyczne. Linie styku pomiędzy lądem i wodą ulegają modyfikacjom, przywraca się dawne kanały i tworzy...

  • CONTEMPORARY APPROACH TOWARDS RESPONSIVE ARCHITECTURE
