Design of the park on Karmelicka Street

City on target - KRAKOW

In this year's edition of the Kraków Civic Budget, the project for a park on Karmelicka Street won. Although there were many ideas for development - a hotel, a cinema, a multi-level parking lot, apartment buildings - for more than twenty years there has been a breach in the very center of the historic city, a remnant of the assembly ground of the former military barracks. A parking lot operates on the pothole in anticipation of changes. [...]

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.
