Z uwagi na to, że to pierwsza edycja 4Design Days zastanawialiśmy się nad udziałem w tym przedsięwzięciu. Przekonał nas jednak nie tylko rozmach, z jakim jest ono przygotowywane oraz lokalizacja, ale także zaplanowane liczne dyskusje, prezentacje i wykłady - mówi Krzysztof Dąbrowski, dyrektor kreatywny, współwłaściciel CAD Projekt K&A.
The post-industrial architecture of Silesia awaits bold visions that will breathe new life into the degraded urban fabric. The sites of liquidated coal mines, such as Szombierki, Powstańców Śląskich, Rozbark and Miechowice in Bytom, are waiting to be redeveloped. The success of the Culture Zone in Katowice has shown that it is worth doing so.
The last few decades were not so much evolution of the architecture industry, but rather a revolution in it. The scope of tasks that architects are being entrusted with is constantly expanding, and so increases the pressure related to project completion time and competition. All this forces people to introduce new solutions and innovative technologies.
Today, it is too easy to create investments like many and compete solely in terms of price. The trick is to prepare an attractive project that will add value to the entire undertaking – this is something that the market will demand in the foreseeable future.
