Features of irregularity in examples of Polish multi-family architecture constructed in 2011–2021 and nominated for the Mies van der Rohe award

Abstract

This article is devoted to the analysis of contemporary Polish multi-family architecture in the context of aesthetic irregularity. The research was limited to constructions from 2011–2021 and nominated for the Mies van der Rohe award as the objects with the greatest potential impact on shaping further trends. In their research, the authors focused on searching for the features of irregularities, which, in their opinion, have become a distinguishing feature of contemporary architectural aesthetics. The analyses in this study refer to three planes of the aesthetic dimension of architecture, namely the form, facade composition and material.

“…Such situations may also occur within businesses when future benefits of material innovations clash with current implementation costs of new materials (Ulewicz et al, 2013;Ulewicz et al, 2014) or technologies (Dudek et al, 2017;Kuciel et al, 2019). Facilitation may come from commonly used methods of making products or services more attractive (Skalska-Cimer and Kadłuczka, 2022), long-known in the civilian building industry (Shcheviova, 2022;Malewczyk and Czyż, 2022), urban environmental engineering (Ściężor, 2022), as well as in education (Radek et al, 2023). These are significant factors in the acceptance of costly environmentally sustainable solutions (Marchwiński, 2021).…”
