A place to remember versus a place to live?

Dispute over the Museum - Memorial of KL Plaszow

Miasto na celowniku — KRAKÓW

City on target - KRAKOW

The site of the former KL Plaszow labor camp is one of the hotspots on the contemporary map of Krakow. The actors are many. The city authorities. The Jewish Community. Museum workers. Architects. The community activists. Residents of Krakow. The closest neighbors. At this point there are two sides: us and them. Simplifying: neighbors versus the rest. Disputed issues: recreation vs. commemoration, tourism vs. living comfort. And what is more important: residents or [...]

What's more, it can be created without a general [...]

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.
