There is robust evidence that homelessness and the associated life conditions of a homeless person may cause and exacerbate a wide range of health problems, while healthcare for the homeless is simultaneously limited in accessibility, availability, and appropriateness. This article investigates legal frameworks of health care provision, existing kn...

The article discusses the nature of the relationship between the natural landscape and the transformed landscape. The description of these ties was limited to two interdependent and simultaneously contrasting creatures - a river of a fully natural landscape and a city as an artificial landscape resulting from the Anthropos genic transformations. Th...

Smart cities are developing fast and introducing new practices and services that have a strong impact on policy making and planning, while also interacting with urban facilities. It is now needed to understand the smart city’s contribution in the overall urban planning and vice versa, to recognize urban planning offers in the context of an intellig...

Możliwości rozwoju podrzeszowskich miasteczek opierają się na czterech zasadniczych przesłankach. Pierwszą jest ich forma, która wydaje się być bardziej miastotwórcza niż rozlewające się przedmieścia. Drugą jest atrakcyjność estetyczna tych miejscowości. Trzecią i najważniejszą przesłanką do rozpoczęcia rozwoju jest infrastruktura komunikacyjna. Ni...

Cities often owe their existence to rivers; however, when cities begin to develop, the river turns into a barrier whose crossing becomes one of the more important engineering issues in municipal infrastructure. As a part of nature, a river significantly influences the form of a city. Its development can, in turn, also impact the shape of the river....

The phenomenon of homelessness requires active support to stimulate the actions of socially excluded people in the process of leaving homelessness. The study exemplifies transfer of benefits from the design sector to the social service sector. Shelters or installations for homeless people give them, on the one hand, a chance to survive, on the othe...

Rzeszów is one of the best developing cities in Poland. Once the small HQ of a principality - due to complicated historical conditioning - it has now become a place where an increasing number of people choose to live. The city with its bursting life, streets and squares starts and ends, however, in an area which only a few dozen years ago still cat...

The transportation sector is one of the largest sources of EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. In 2011, transportation represented approximately 25 percent of total EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. Urban mobility accounts for 40% of all CO2 emissions of road transport and up to 70% of other pollutants from transport. As, transportation and mobility play a...

Solutions in the field of ecological architecture appear more and more often in Poland. There are two approaches to eco-design: high-tech and low-tech. High-tech focuses on the use of the latest technological solvings. These means are often used in newly designed commercial buildings, such as the first Polish office building which uses passive tech...

Istnieje potrzeba wygenerowania wspólnych i spójnych zasad, które pozwoliłyby zrozumieć niepełnosprawność jako zjawisko systemowe. Istnieje wiele różnych definicji niepełnosprawności. Skutki, jakie pociąga za sobą dysfunkcja wzroku zależą od kilku czynników. Przestrzeń wielosensoryczną łączy w sobie elementy architektury, sztuki i komunikacji media...

W przedmiotowym artykule przedstawiono wybrane problemy ochrony krajobrazu kulturowego centrum Skawiny w kontekście współczesnych realizacji architektonicznych, które powstały na tym terenie w ciągu ostatnich 15 lat. Skawina ma bogate dziedzictwo kulturowe, a geneza jego powstania wiąże się z polityką króla Kazimierza Wielkiego, który na terenach n...

Architects working in technological works have problems when dealing with complex calculation applications. This problem is similar when we have to work with students coming from different countries ( Roset et al., 2015). In our group we have experience from 2008. In this paper, we want to propose a PROPEDEUTIC 5 ECTS matter for helping to skip th...

Masters dealing on Technology have an important problem in the usual case of students coming from very different countries. Due to the important dispersion on how to teach technological contents for architects, very different initial levels are found. Any decision you take as a teacher will provoke either bored students or stressed students. It is...

The present paper explains in a descriptive way the findings and derivations, concerning the various needs, solutions and priorities which are identified in existing urban building envelopes of Poland, especially in Rzeszow housing estates.

This paper presents the main typologies of the multi-story residential building stock in the post WWII period and problems arising from the poor quality of the housing policy, the architectural and structural principles, and the construction work, as well as over 50 years of inappropriate exploitation. The physical, structural, urban and social asp...

This paper gives an overview of housing in Poland, presenting the main problems and needs identified in the urban building envelopes. The present-day needs for the moderniza- tion of the large panel buildings are presented, taking into account structural, thermal and aes- thetical aspects. Methods of improvement of such buildings in Poland are disc...

One of the possible solution for enlarging useable space for existing building is to add stories. Adding new stories involves additional loadings to old structure and to subsoil. Very often calculation and analysis of existing structure and overloading of soil leads to conclusion, that only very lightweight superstructure can be applied. One of suc...

Paper presents one of the first popular technologies widely used in Poland for upgrading thermal resistance of facades in multi family housing buildings made with the use of non traditional technology. As a reaction to more restrict requirements of energy consumption, it became popular in 1980s years of the last century due to its material and tech...

In multi-storey large panel dwelling buildings, external walls were constructed from three layers: façade layer made from reinforced concrete, thermal insulation layer made from polystyrene or mineral wool and structural layer made from reinforced concrete. Connection between these three layers consisted of fasteners and pins made of steel bars. Fr...
