The increased number of conflicts and disasters worldwide, including recent ones such as the Russo-Ukrainian War, has led to a growing need for housing solutions for displaced populations. The traditional refugee and IDP shelters have a primary shortcoming of turning into long-term settlements despite their temporary nature, leading to social and e...
Container settlements (CS) have been widely used as emergency and temporary dwellings in Europe due to the advantages of rapid deployment, cost-efficiency and relatively good living standards. Nevertheless, many authors emphasize the risks of disturbing the spatial order and stigmatization of residents that can lead to deepening the feeling of unro...
The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of creating a prototype of a self-sufficient houseboat that is capable of prolonged independence from power grids and freshwater sources. In this design, electricity demand is met by a photovoltaic installation, and the energy is stored in batteries. Fresh water for living needs may be obtained fr...
Can architectural design be automated? The developmentof CAAD tools led to the point where this question can be relevant. Toprove that some branches of architectural design can be automatized toa substantial extent we aimed at building a digital tool able to performautomated preliminary design of residential building in the typology ofa point block...
This book highlights state-of-the-art research findings on floating developments in both inland and coastal waters with focus on living, recreation and working offshore. It includes six themes: (1) business case and real estate development, (2) spatial planning and architecture, (3) food and energy production, (4) ecological impact and nature-based...
The study aims to present, compare, and assess three different types of buildings considered as flood-resilient construction: building on piles (also called static elevation), amphibious building (also called can-float), and floating building in terms of their performance in the context of a semiwild river in a large city. The comparative multiple-...
Usually, the concept of sufficient stability of a floating structure is connected with the capacity to keep a small heel angle despite the moment of heeling. The variable responsible for these characteristics is the initial metacentric height, which is the relation between the hydrostatic features of the pontoon and the mass properties of the entir...
The development of information technologies has resulted in a strong return of interest in the concept of automating the design process. Most of the attempts such as works of Hersey and Freedman, Duarte or the PRISM application are based on shape grammars. Another approach is evolutionary simulations in concept creation augmentation such as works o...
The paper presents results from social research on the Polish business representatives potentially interested in using the floating buildings. The main purposes of the study were to assess the level of knowledge about floating buildings and diagnose stimulants and inhibitors of their development in the hotel, catering, and water tourism industry. C...
Since the beginning of the 21st century floating buildings have been growing in popularity in Poland. According to market research and quantitative studies, the majority of operative Polish floating buildings serve for commercial purposes, such as short-term rentals, vacation houses and floating marinas. Simultaneously, despite the increasing deman...
W pracy zaprezentowano proces projektowania mieszkania trzypokojowego o modelowym układzie funkcjonalno-przestrzennym i minimalnej powierzchni. Zaprojektowane mieszkanie jest podstawowym typem lokalu tworzącym strukturę wielorodzinnego budynku społecznego. W założeniach przeznaczone jest dla trzech lub czterech osób, ale w scenariuszu awaryjnym moż...
Rozprawa podejmuje temat projektowania architektonicznego budynków pływających na tle zagadnień związanych z kształtowaniem środowiska zbudowanego na styku lądu i wody. Budynek pływający zdefiniowano w pracy jako obiekt pływający posiadający wydzielone na stałe pomieszczenia, o budowie w całości dostosowanej do użytkowania stacjonarnego, nieposiada...
W rozdziale przetawiono efekty prac nad opracowaniem projektu dwupokojowego mieszkania społecznego, posiadającego modelowy układ funkcjonalno-przestrzenny oraz minimalną powierzchnię, przeznaczonego dla młodej rodziny z małym dzieckiem (do lat 3), poprzedzone przeglądem istotnych dla zagadnienia rozwiązań historycznych oraz analizą przykładów ze ws...
The semi-wild character of the Vistula River in Warsaw is rare among rivers passing through the European capital cities: The Vistula has preserved natural features of a braided river like numerous islands, oxbow lakes and side channels. Despite the
environmental value, this unusual situation of a semi-wild river in the city center has a serious dra...
The design and construction of the aquatic structures - water-related built forms of architectural relevance is a wide field of action for many creative and engineering professions like architecture, hydraulic, offshore and naval, to name the main ones. Due to a substantial growth of the aquatic sector, these specialists more often start to work to...
Dynamic development in practically all fields of science and engineering has not passed over shipbuilding. In last years, engineers got to their use computer software which makes it possible to perform strength and hydrodynamic calculations as well as to visualize design projects in 3 D space [1-4]. At their disposal they have full spectrum of mode...
Budynki pływające – tzw. „domy na wodzie”, czyli stacjonarne obiekty pływające eksploatowane jak budynki w celach mieszkalnych lub usługowych – posiadają szereg cech przyjaznych środowisku naturalnemu. Pływalność umożliwia instalację w pożądanym miejscu bez konieczności poważnej ingerencji w brzeg i dno, a także zapewnia odporność na wahania poziom...
W artykule podejmiemy próbę weryfikacji poglądu o okrętowym rodowodzie modernistycznej architektury mieszkaniowej na podstawie studium przypadku
Jednostki Marsylskiej. Przeanalizujemy różne aspekty projektu, a jej charakterystyczne właściwości porównamy z cechami XX-wiecznych transatlantyków. Następnie pokażemy drogę Le Corbusiera od okrętowych fas...
The paper presents the potential and risks of utilizing Rhinoceros and Grasshopper software for parametric design and multi-varietal optimization of the hull of a small sustainable ferry. The sustainability criteria, parametric design flowchart and optimizing methods are described. As a result, the advantages and disadvantages of this approach obta...
The current research on the amphibious architecture lacks the proper, commonly shared vocabulary and typology of water placed structures. In the paper, the state of the typological works is described and the new typology based on three main distinguishing factors (relation to water, buoyancy and mobility) is given. Thanks to the different perspecti...
The article analyzes the relationship between the architecture and the structure of a vessel on the example of the reconstruction design of the wooden sailing yacht “General Zaruski” built in Ekanӓs, Sweden, in 1939. The case study was based on the documentation of “Kaparen” (sister yacht), “Młoda Gwardia” (ex "General Zaruski") and the reconstruct...
