The article presents selected issues of the problem of NIMBY-type conflicts. These are conflicts arising from the opposition of local communities to the location, in the vicinity of their place of residence, of investments perceived by them as a nuisance. A spatial picture of the occurrence of conflicts in Poland (excluding large and medium-sized cities) is presented, resulting from a search of press archives (regional and local press) conducted for the period January 2007 – March 2014.

The paper discusses three architectural concepts of exposition pavilions authored by Władysław Sowicki. Each of them represents a different style, but all of them follow the design trends of their time. The first one is the Polish pavilion for the 1937 World Expo in Paris, and as such it alludes to the Polish national style. The second one is another Polish pavilion, this time semi-modernist, designed for the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

The publication draws attention to the possibility of taking up and conducting architectural activity in the form of a partnership due to its peculiarities. This type of partnership is designed for the practice of liberal professions. With the practice of a liberal profession (including the profession of an architect) is associated with the risk of making a mistake “in the art” and, consequently, the obligation of compensation, which is a liability of the partnership.

Significant advances in technology for extracting sediments from the bottom of water bodies and processing them into high-value organic fertilizers have created new opportunities for their reclamation. These new opportunities can be put to good use in updating the Spatial Management Plan for the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, as well as in implementing Poland’s commitments to the European Union regarding the Water Framework Directive and plans for the rehabilitation of waterways in Poland.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the substance of Polish post-war modernist architecture, their meanings at the moment of their creation, and the way this architecture is understood today. The change in the reception of the legacy of modern constructions erected in the times of the Polish People’s Republic is juxtaposed with theories of value of historic monuments and the theory of postmemory.
