A longer list of questions readers have asked through the contact page, answered as directly as possible.
Roughly, any structure built for ordinary use rather than as a showcase project: residential blocks, small and mid-size offices, retail units, and the mixed-use buildings that combine them. If a building appears mainly in architecture award coverage, it is probably outside the scope of this series.
Most site visits happen around Łódź and nearby areas simply because that is where the editorial team is based, but installments occasionally cover buildings elsewhere when public records are accessible enough to research properly.
Where that information is part of the public permit record and relevant to the explanation, yes. Where it is not verifiable or not central to the design decision being discussed, the installment focuses on the building itself rather than attribution.
No. The content is written for general understanding and should not be used as a substitute for advice from a licensed architect, engineer, or planning authority. Rules described in one installment may differ from the rules that apply to a specific project.
The editorial team tries to rotate between residential, office, and retail subjects rather than clustering entries in one category. Reader suggestions and questions sent through the contact page sometimes shift the order.
Please contact the editorial team first through the contact page. Reuse is considered case by case, and attribution back to the original installment is expected in any approved use.
Occasionally, yes. Public records are not always complete or current, and the editorial review process is designed to catch mistakes before publication, not guarantee their absence. Corrections are welcomed through the contact page and are noted on the relevant installment.
Not currently. The archive lives on the website and is organized by category to make browsing manageable without a separate download.
