The most common energy sources for single-family buildings are coal, gas and fuel oil. Increasingly, investors are also considering heat pump installations. Each of these sources has different investment and operating costs. The idea of a hybrid source is the cooperation of several energy sources in one building. The aim of the study is to select the best shares of sources from three criteria: minimum investment costs, minimum operating costs for an assumed period of time and minimum sum of investment and operating costs.

The purpose of this publication is to present the intelligent building of the Warsaw University of Technology, which is, among other things, the Laboratory of Sustainable Energy Systems. The facility stands out for its innovation in terms of the complexity of the system supplying it with heat and electricity. It is equipped with an extensive data acquisition system, allowing full control of energy processes. Currently, the building is used for scientific research and teaching PW students.

In modern design architecture there is an interesting trend of developing highly complex spatial systems, inspired by patterns inspired by the natural world. As a result, visually innovative solutions are being created, and what is important from an engineering point of view, also technologically efficient. The logic behind shaping “bionic” architecture is aimed at, among others, the rational use of materials and energy.

The purpose of this article is to present case studies of selected sustainable office buildings in the context of how investments are financed. The projects were implemented in Germany at the beginning of the 21st century. The buildings were selected according to the scores achieved in the DGNB certification and then the solutions used in them were compared.

The article presents the results of research and analysis, concerning the stylistic transformations of sacred architecture, using the example of Catholic religious buildings erected in the Archdiocese of Krakow in the 1970s and 1980s. Attention was paid to the most important architectural and compositional issues of sacred buildings, implemented in diverse spatial situations and against the background of ongoing socio-economic and political transformations.

The search of experimental architecture is followed by an increasingly more visible manifestation of the transition from shaping the biomimetic design to the biomorphic. The forms which architectural objects take, cease to be inspired by the aesthetics and the shapes found in nature. The shaping of new and unprecedented forms is the result of natural forming processes

The article is a reflection on fashion in architecture. Beginning with its definition, the ambivalent nature of this phenomenon, which has accompanied the design process since the beginning of civilization, is presented. Using examples from recent decades, fashion is shown as an element that enriches the development of architecture and as an element that often takes control of architects’ imagination.

The purpose of this text is to descriptively define the conditions for the formation of an architectural language of forms, especially regional forms, understood as the adaptability of the domain of architecture to local conditions, both geographically (local climatic conditions, materials, energy efficiency or low-tech) and humanistically, in relation to local building traditions.

Architecture is the ordering of the constituent set of elements. It has always been perceived as an emanation of order and beauty. Usually the concept of chaos is perceived as a state of total disorder, confusion, disarray and disorder. In contrast, deterministic chaos, which is the subject of this article, is random behavior completely governed by law. Chaos has its own uncanny geometry. It is closely related to peculiar fractal shapes, called “strange attractors.”
