The aim of this article is to explore whether-from the subjective perspective of people born before the end of WWII-systemic transformation brought about significant changes in their individual lives, and if yes-what was the meaning of those changes for them. In particular, I examine how experiences related to the events that preceded systemic transformation in Poland or took place during its most intensive stage are reflected in contemporary biographical narratives of 49 persons aged 72 or more, for whom the period of professional activity, in whole or in major part, occurred in the times of the Polish People’s Republic. I perform the analysis in three steps. First, I investigate the place of systemic transformation in the narratives, and consider the reasons why it is relatively often absent or poorly reflected there. Second, I present thematic motifs prevailing in those interviews where references to the systemic change appear. In the third step, I investigate the meaning of experiences connected with transformation for the narrators, the accompanying emotions-some of them still persisting-and ways in which the narrators incorporated those experiences into their biographies. The underlying narratives come from people who were drawn for a nationwide quantitative panel survey many years ago, in 1987, and participated in it for the next 25-30 years.

This study aims to investigate the existing situation of the COVID-19 pandemic from an architectural and urban perspective. The problem analyzed in the study was whether and how universal design could be a useful tool in creating a meaningful response to social repercussions caused by COVID-19. Of the various issues faced today, this study focused on solving the issue of isolation and reducing infections in elderly and elders with disabilities by introducing architectural and spatial modifications. This research showed that all seven universal design principles when introduced at the architectural and urban levels can solve various issues that elderly people face today during the pandemic. It is executed through administrative and institutional push toward better accessibility and inclusion in a build environment that also works for general public interest.
