Buildings 2020+. Energy sources

Dorota Anna Krawczyk (Editor)

In the last decades, significant energy market changes have been observed. Along with improvements within the building structure and systems leading to reduction of energy consumption, there have been introduced a relevant modification in the global energy sources balance. Fossil fuels have been displaced by different kinds of alternative energy sources. New technologies have been applied that allow to make heating, cooling, hot and electricity systems much more efficient and environmentally friendly. In this book we show the development of renewable energy sources. We present several examples of technologies using solar, wind, geothermal energy as well as systems using biomass or cogeneration.

Bukareszt. Kurz i krew

Małgorzata Rejmer

"Bukareszt (...) jest jak wrzątek albo kipiel, wzburzony i zmętniały. (...) Atrybuty miasta: czarne kłęby przewodów na słupach jak gniazda porzucone przez ptaki, atmosfera rozkopania i prowizorki obok bankietów w sklepowych witrynach, przeszywający zapach lip i rozgniecionych winogron. Elegancja architektury z zamierzchłego świata. Stukot rozchybotanych tramwajów, klaksony rozwścieczonych taksówek na sekundę przed stłuczką. Zaśpiew cygańskich dzieci i staruszek włóczących się w pobliżu niezliczonych kwiaciarni, które prowadzą matki tych dzieci i córki tych staruszek. Wszędzie psy jak czarne i szare tobołki porzucone przez kogoś, kto bardzo się spieszył." Zapytałam przyjaciół, co jest pięknego w Bukareszcie. Odpowiedzieli: Bukareszt jest jak ciastko kupowane w niedzielę, niby czekoladowe i słodkie, ale z gorzką polewą. Nie znajdzie się tu łatwego piękna. Bezwstyd, histeria stylu, fasadowość. Przy Bukareszcie każde europejskie miasto wydaje się tak statyczne, że aż nudne. Dostałam też zdjęcie: nogi w czarnych rajtuzach i kolorowych skarpetkach, wetknięte do plastikowego kosza. Nurkujący manekin, który chce się utopić w śmieciach. I dopisek: "Trzeba na siłę wymyślać, co jest w Bukareszcie pięknego, a i tak się umiera z tęsknoty". Małgorzata Rejmer
