Agnieszka Kurkowska in the article Creativity – crossing disciplines. The analysis of the author's attitude refers to the issue of moving the knowledge and skills of an individual creator in various areas. The problem of the impossibility of narrow treatment of architecture as a strictly engineering discipline is outlined. An architect is involved in the surrounding spatial problems, their physical and non-physical aspects. In his statements he reaches areas related to architecture in order to strengthen and enrich these statement. The following work attempts to prove the thesis that the author's attitude analyzed here: showing the necessity to transgress disciplines in architectural design. It has shown, based on a case study, how moving beyond strict engineering can enrich an architect's designs and enhance the possibility of their impact. The designs selected for the presented analysis include designs of architectural objects, landscaping designs, furniture, utility items and interiors. They are also artistic projects using painting, graphics, sculpture, photography or spatial installation, as well as book publications. Another category are educational projects focused on series of workshop activities, educational materials, and participatory events. All the examples are linked by the person of the author, who moves in the area of several disciplines in his work, which in a time perspective shows a complete, multi-element attitude towards space, people using it and objects filling it. The aforementioned attitude contains several important components which, in certain cases, transfer it to specific tasks and related social and professional roles. Thus, an architect is sometimes a creator when he uses the tools of artistic expression, creating individual, unique objects on a different scale, simultaneously operating in the field of art and engineering. He can also be a scientist or researcher analyzing, deepening, searching, and verifying the adopted solutions. Sometimes he becomes a pedagogue or educator when he focuses his activities on transferring knowledge or strengthening the awareness of his activities’ addressees. Above all, however, an architect remains a person with a specific mental and physical structure, being a personal element of the community. An architect is an author who transcends various disciplines in his work, the necessity and purposefulness of which are to be proved by the presented analyzes and the case study supporting them.

The article is aimed to discuss the place of architecture in the space of ideas. The present work discusses a specific place, the Zaspa housing estate in Gdańsk, and refers to a specific person, namely, the author of artistic installations temporarily exhibited in the Zaspa housing estate. Also, the wider context of the specific situations in which the exhibitions were displayed is presented. The article attempts to answer the question of the importance of the quality of dwelling in the context of the quality of life of city dwellers. The work focuses on the subjective quality of life, identified most often with the feeling of satisfaction with life in its various aspects and with mental well-being. The quality of living, in turn, may be defined as satisfaction with the structure and functioning of the house and its commonly shared surroundings that constitutes the context of such living. The installations exhibited in the Zaspa estate discussed in the following article represent a potential area for activities with which to change the landscape and/or architectural elements of housing estates that refer to the living space. The essence of the research lies in the analysis of the place architecture occupies in a wider context of the intangible spaces. Homes can be perceived in a phenomenological way. It this case, the spaces of the house are inside us, just as we are inside them (Bachelard, 1994).

Background Musculoskeletal disorders mainly affecting the spine constitute one of the major social problems. Frequently, they constitute the cause of prolonged absence at work. Working in a fire brigade is specific because of the physical strain, working time under adverse conditions or stress related to rescue operations. Material and Methods The study group comprised 61 firefighters, 60 men (98.36%) and 1 woman (1.64%). The age of examined firefighters ranged 20–56 years old. The average age of the examined persons was 33.77 years old and the average working service in a fire brigade was 9.59 years. The following research instruments were applied as the study methods: own survey, the Numerical Rating Scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) – long version and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire. The Pearson correlation coefficient at significance level of p < 0.05 was used for determining the dependencies among the variables. Results Knowledge of ergonomic lifting and handling principles concerning heavy loads was reported by 84% of the group, the remaining 16% declared ignorance of such rules. The dependence of pain on the length of service of the examined was insignificant and amounted to 0.281 Pearson’s r. The results of the ODI questionnaire did not significantly change statistically with age. Conclusions The IPAQ confirmed the high level of physical activity of the study population. Even though the study group was small, the results of ODI showed a minor degree of disability. Med Pr 2018;69(4):365–373
