Forms, details and contemporary meanings of Polish concrete architecture, part 1

Abstract

The article is an attempt to show the relationship between architectural ideas and concrete matter in the implementation of Polish architecture of the beginning of the 21st century. The first part shows examples in which the perfection of architecture is associated not only with the rational principles of 20th century architecture, but also with what we define as the search for aesthetics in appropriate expression of forms.
