Materials and technologies

In today's world, modern technologies and materials surround us everywhere. Increasingly, everything around us is high-tech and smart: the apartment, the car, the cell phone, the cities. The ideas of high-tech or smart are slowly our everyday life. They often make our lives easier - high-tech systems in our homes regulate light intensity, temperature levels, humidity levels and even smell. A smart city is a city that uses cutting-edge technology to improve the quality and efficiency of its infrastructure and make it more interactive. The role of smart phones probably doesn't need to be explained to anyone anymore.

Modern architecture also makes use of modern technologies. It's saturated with technology building management systems, it's parametric design, BIM, houses made with 3D printing technology. There is also a group of materials of the future, whose most important task is the abilitý to react, to respond to changes in the environment. Building materials are emerging that offer completely new possibilities, while traditional ones are being used in a modern way.

In this publication we present a wide range of possibilities and tools that architects use in their daily practice.
We invite you to read it!

The Products for Architects yearbook is the only catalog on the Polish market of all materials and products used by architects and designers to create architecture.

The traditional printed version, with extensive alphabetical and industry-specific tables of contents, allows you to quickly reach the information, product or technology you are looking for. It has been published on the Polish publishing market since 2003. The characteristic, clear graphic layout of the presentations (2-page), devoid of advertising clamor and aggressiveness, finds recognition among our readers.

The idea of its creation turned out to be the proverbial "bull's eye", which is emphasized not only by sales, the steadily growing number of companies interested in appearing in its pages, but also by the positive opinions of the Readers themselves - architects, designers, investors.

An alternative to the printed version of the yearbook is the PDA tab of our portal.
