The article focuses on the process of documenting handicrafts in the local communities of rural areas through the use of buildings formerly housing a blueprint workshop in the village of Hranovnica. the first section focuses on the specific attributes of handicraft buildings and compares individual buildings within an urban context (where crafts represented a key means of providing a livelihood) with those in rural areas (where, in addition to their craft, local handicraftsmen were also concerned with their primary activity, i.e. farming). The aforementioned blueprint workshop in Hranovnica is a good example of the architectural aspects of these buildings, which simultaneously document farming and handicrafts, and as we show, also reveal renovations due to economic and socio-cultural development. The article further contains arguments with regard to the possible use of such buildings as so-called ‘technical landmarks’ to document the history and development of local handicrafts from the point of view of present-day applied ethnology (especially ethnographic museology).

No, because the architects who designed them had a thorough knowledge of the leading Central European architectural centre of the time, which had been raised to the highest artistic standards by members of the well-travelled Parler family, who were actively engaged in the construction of the most important churches from Basel to Prague and Kolín on the Elbe. The master builder of the parish church in Nysa (unfortunately anonymous) and Hinrich Brunsberg, who in all likelihood was responsible for the choir in Stargard, drew on the same sources of inspiration, were probably interested in the same buildings, and studied their ground plan geometry, structural details, and forms of decoration. The reflections presented in this article focus on the mechanisms and routes of the transfer of forms in Central European architecture around the year 1400. At the same time, they throw light on the complex process taking place in one and the same building project, the process of the encounter between regional architectural characteristics, the individual solutions of the architect, and the general stylistic tendencies which had been spreading since the second half of the 14th century under the influence of the leading architectural centres of the Holy Roman Empire, with Prague to the forefront

Předložený esej se zabývá vzájemnými podobnostmi chórových ochozů dvou gotických farních kostelů, které jsou pokládány za mistrovská díla cihlové architektury ve střední Evropě na přelomu 14. a 15. století - kostela Panny Marie v pomořanském Stargardu a kostela sv. Jakuba ve slezské Nise. Obě stavby jsou považovány právem za špičková architektonická díla doby kolem roku 1400 ve svém regionu. Neobjasněná zůstává zatím otázka po podobnosti půdorysové geometrie obou chórů, které se vyznačují vzácným motivem sudého počtu zlomů ve východním uzávěru. Jedná se tu o podobnost náhodného charakteru? To určitě ne, protože navrhující architekti disponovali hlubokými znalostmi tehdy vedoucího středoevropského centra architektury pozvednuté zástupci velice mobilní rodiny Parléřových, činnými na stavbách nejvýznamnějších kostelů od Basileje až po Prahu a Kolín nad Labem, na nejvyšší uměleckou úroveň. Bohužel anonymní, první stavitel farního kostela v Nise a Hinrich Brunsberg, velice pravděpodobný autor chóru v Stargardu, čerpali z týchž inspiračních zdrojů, zajímali se pravděpodobně o tytéž stavby a studovali jejich půdorysovou geometrii, strukturní detaily a ozdobné formy. Úvahy předkládané v tomto článku se dotýkají ústředního bodu otázky po mechanismech a cestách transferu forem ve středověké architektuře kolem roku 1400 a objasňují současně komplexní, na tomtéž stavebním projektu se odehrávající střetávání regionálních architektonických znaků a individuálních řešeních stavitele i všeobecnějších slohových trendů, které se rozšiřují po druhé polovině 14. století pod vlivem vedoucích architektonických center Svaté říše římské s Prahou v čele.

The article brings up the topic of ancient sanctuary of Asclepius in Epidauros, the biggest health centre in ancient Greece. However, enclosing its function to religious and health centre would be huge misunderstanding. Asklepieion was real centre of social and political life. The article discusses multipurpose of sanctuary by analysis of function of the most important buildings in the complex. Furthermore, in sanctuary, there were used contemporary methods of medicine: minor operations, hydrotherapy and treatment by art. Additionally, the theatre could take special place in process of healing. In Conclusion, the worship of Asclepius wasn’t eliminate development of science, but contrarily, both of its aspects coexisted together.

The microclimate of a room has an impact on human well-being, physical and mental health, on work productivity and the preservation of good health. Several dozen species of bacteria can live in buildings and more than 400 species of fungi (mainly Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Fusarium genus). The presented results are studies from different health department suggesting the desirability of systematic microbiological testing, evaluation of fungal pathogens, and involving staff, patients, walls, floors, furniture units (hardware, underwear), and air. However the problem is a lack of unified Polish standards, the classes of microbiological indoor air and the lack of harmonization of existing rules for air sampling to assess air fungal pollution in the health care setting.

Peripheral vision has been the topic of few studies compared with central vision. Nevertheless, given that visual information covers all the visual field and that relevant information can originate from highly eccentric positions, the understanding of peripheral vision abilities for object perception seems essential. The poorer resolution of peripheral vision would first suggest that objects requiring large-scale feature integration such as buildings would be better processed than objects requiring finer analysis such as faces. Nevertheless, task requirements also determine the information (coarse or fine) necessary for a given object to be processed. We therefore investigated how task and eccentricity modulate object processing in peripheral vision. Three experiments were carried out requiring finer or coarser information processing of faces and buildings presented in central and peripheral vision. Our results showed that buildings were better judged as identical or familiar in periphery whilst faces were better categorised. We conclude that this superiority for a given stimulus in peripheral vision results (a) from the available information, which depends on the decrease of resolution with eccentricity, and (b) from the useful information, which depends on both the task and the semantic category.

Enormous investments had been made in Malaysian education sector of the economy especially in the higher education towards fulfilling a target of creating an attractive environment, conducive to learning and academic excellence. Building facilities account for a significant portion of investments in the sector. Since no building has immunity against fire, it has become imperative to research ways of ensuring the safety of built facilities and users from fire disaster. This research proposed a framework for effective fire safety management for buildings in Malaysian Higher Education Institutions. The report aims to display the results of the pilot study conducted among staff and students from selected universities in Johor Malaysia before carrying out the core survey to collect information from respondents. The pilot study sought to minimise errors in the questionnaire, makes the survey runs smoothly, facilitate the response rate, and provide a useful and valuable inquiry. The results include the descriptive statistics, reliability test, content and construct validity, and the normality test. The summary of the reliability test for each construct of the users’ questionnaire, are Management, 0.910; fire safety equipment/system, 0.907; building components safety design, 0.917. Furthermore, users’ awareness and knowledge of fire safety, 0.948; users’ attitude on fire safety, 0.885 and the effectiveness of fire safety management have a value 0.913 for Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient. The aggregate Descriptive Statistics results for Users/Occupants Questionnaire show mean values between the ranges of 3.34 to 3.76. The questionnaire had low dispersion and standard deviation values of less than 1. The values of skewness and kurtosis were all within the recommended threshold of -/+2, an indication that all the constructs of the study were normally distributed. The results are a favourable indicator for proceeding with the core survey using the instrument.

“Uzdrowisko Cieplice” [the Cieplice Resort] is one of the oldest health resorts in Poland, which owes its popularity to its healing thermal springs. The Cieplice Baths constitute a modern water-recreation centre and complement the resort’s wellness package. The development of logistical services is stimulating a growing need for heath-resort services, including recreation and leisure services. Its convenient location near mountain resorts equipped with an infrastructure for winter sports (including downhill and cross-country skiing), is an additional advantage of the town’s location. The aim of this article is to describe the Cieplice Resort and highlight its logistic infrastructure, including its facilities, cycle paths, and tourist trails, which allow the resort’s visitors, who come here to see the sights and relax, to do so actively all the year round. For the purpose of their research, the author’s used the method of critically analysing literature and the information published on the Cieplice Resort website. An empirical (initial) study of the logistic infrastructure was complemented with photographs. The Conclusions: A well-developed logistics infrastructure contributes to the competitiveness of a health resort.

Traditional, linear business models are one of key reasons for unsustainable development, including overuse of non-renewable resources and energy, as well as waste over-generation. An answer to these problems is a circular economy aimed at improving resource- and energy-efficiency in each phase of a product’s (service’s) lifecycle. The main aim of this paper is to examine, what can be considered a circular product in the buildings sector and what kind of circular products and / or services could be potentially introduced by consulting companies operating inter alia in the buildings sector. First two sections provide a general theoretical background for the concept of a circular economy, a circular product and circular business models. Then, main aspects of introducing an approach based on a circular economy in the buildings sector are elaborated, focusing on key features of circular buildings and solutions which are or can be implemented in different phases of a building’s lifecycle. Based on main features of introducing a circular economy in the buildings sector, leading tasks of consulting companies involved in sustainable solutions are presented. In conclusion it is stated that there are many solutions enabling construction of (more) circular buildings, at least in terms of a “better” circularity in one or more phases of a building’s lifecycle, but still a complex and system approach is needed in the whole sector and among all actors. For this reason, consulting companies can play a specific role in this field, by the way of raising awareness, developing knowledge, skills and capabilities, creating and showing values and benefits to different actors, developing networks etc.

This article contains the review of Polish-language sources on structural fire protection in Polish territories in the discussed period. Polish and foreign authors, architects, builders and building experts described the problem of fire protection in published handbooks and articles in scientific magazines in that period. Newspaper articles are an additional source of knowledge about fire protection procedures, especially in the case of houses, farms and agricultural buildings. Fires broke out most often in those places, causing social and economic problems. In order to show that the technological solutions and building materials of the Enlightenment era were also used at the beginning of 20th century, some interwar period sources are also discussed. Clay and fat soil in different forms were most often used to protect buildings, because they were easy to access, and the cost of manufacture was very low. Later, thanks to the development of chemical science during Enlightenment revolution, chemical retardants were gradually employed and are still used today. Due to the development of metallurgy industry, steel and cast iron were most commonly used for fire protection. However, it was quickly discovered that those materials also need protection, just as wood. To emphasize the importance of the problem and its relevance today, obligatory law and technical solution applied in 21st century are quoted whenever possible.

In the first part of the article the author examines the history of Jesuit and Benedictine buildings in Pułtusk from their construction till the present. The Church of SS. Apostles Peter and Paul was built by the Jesuits in 1688–1702, though work inside the church went on until 1718, when the church was consecrated. The furnishing of the church continued in 1720–1764. The Jesuit College was housed in buildings erected in the 1550s and 1560s. After the suppression of the Society in 1773 the church and the school were taken over by the Commission of National Education and then, in 1781, by the Benedictines, who had moved here from Płock. In 1803–1806 and 1816–1819 the Benedictines built a new monastery and school, and in 1827–1828 they carried out a thorough renovation of the church, which was considered at that time to be one of the most beautiful churches in the Diocese of Płock. After the dissolution of the Benedictine monastery in 1864, the church was given to the (collegiate) Parish of St. Matthew. In 1875 it was ravaged by a huge fire, in which most of the furnishings were burnt. The Second World War saw a destruction of the towers in the main facade. Since 2011 the Church of SS. Peter and Paul has been the parish church of St. John Paul II’s Parish. In the second part of the article the author presents the circumstances of the compilation of the inventories published in part three. The first inventory (no. 1) was compiled in 1781, when the former Jesuit church and monastery were being taken over by the Benedictines. A comparison between its entries and the inventory taken in 1775 during Bishop Krzysztof Szembek’s inspection reveals many missing items of movable property, especially those made of gold or silver, most of which must have enriched the treasuries of the Płock cathedral and the Pułtusk collegiate church. Another inventory taking came in late 1864 and early 1865 (nos 2–5) in connection with the dissolution of the Pułtusk monastery. The 1869 inventory (no. 6) was compiled when the monastery building was being taken over by a school. The last inventory (no. 7) was taken in 1882. It shows the Benedictines’ movable and immovable property during the dissolution and the scale of the damage wreaked by the 1875 fire. Only few items survived it.

The study contains a source edition of four detailed lists of buildings in the village of Podklasztorze near Jędrzejów, namely the church and the buildings of the Cistercian Abbey (including the monks’ house) as well as the buildings housing the Forestry Authority and an inn. The material is an annex to insurance documentation drawn up by the Insurance Directorate in Warsaw in 1848. In addition to a brief historical introduction and archival description of the sources presented, each of the estimate contains a short summary, while at the end readers will find a glossary of specialist terms, many of them archaic, describing the various elements of the structure or furnishings of the buildings. Despite the fact that the documents lack information (apart from technical details) about the appearance of the decoration and the furnishings, they still constitute a very interesting source of information about the preservation and condition of the analysed buildings. An integral part of the detailed estimates, containing very comprehensive lists of all components of the buildings with their valuation, comes in the form of hand-made plans of the analysed buildings. Reproductions of the plans together with photographs of the abbey buildings provide illustration material for the present study.

Wynik odbudowy Starego Miasta w Elblągu metodą tzw. retrowersji pozostaje daleki od celu, jakim było przywrócenie zabytkowego klimatu tworzonego od wieków krajobrazu kulturowego miasta. W oparciu o powierzchowną i wieloznaczną w interpretacji teorię konserwatorską, pozornie odwołującą się do historii miejsca, dano w praktyce spory zakres dowolności w projektowaniu budynków. W efekcie powstała w tym miejscu architektura chaotyczna, ahistoryczna, w głównej mierze szablonowa i jednorodna, która nie tylko nie przywróciła historycznej sylwetki Starego Miasta, ale wprowadziła nową, obcą jakość. Działania te były albo aprobowane, albo zbywane obojętnością, co jest skutkiem nie tylko marginalnej świadomości znaczenia dziedzictwa kulturowego tego obszaru Polski, jak i samej zmiany statusu zabytku oraz atmosfery okresu po transformacji ustrojowej, naznaczonej przewagą myślenia pragmatyczno-inwestycyjnego.

EN

The result of the reconstruction of the Elbląg Old Town through the use of a method known as retroversion remains a far cry from its objective – the recreation of the historic atmosphere inherent in the cultural landscape of the town which has formed over the course of centuries. Based on a superficial conservation theory which allowed many different interpretations to be applied and which only ostensibly referred to the history of the site, the architects were practically given free rein while designing individual buildings. The resulting architecture is chaotic and inconsistent with historical design principles, being mostly rather bland and uniform; not only was the historic appearance of the Old Town not restored, but the project has in fact introduced a new, alien quality to the historic site. These design decisions, however, have either met with indifference or with outright approval – a consequence not only of the minimal awareness of the significance of cultural heritage of this part of Poland, but also of the change in the status of historic monuments as such and of the situation in the country after the period of systemic transformation, dominated by pragmatic and profit-oriented approach.
