Creations of Modern Architecture Corresponding to the Landscape on the Example of Diploma Designs of Students of Architecture

Abstract

The paper discusses the examples of architectural solutions related to the natural landscape and building environment that have been presented in students’ diploma designs. In architectural and urban design, it is important to try to give timeless value to created works. This is understood in terms of meeting the needs of the contemporary and future users and paying respect to the tradition. This subject area will be presented on the example of conceptual designs of architectural & urban layouts with service, educational, rest and leisure functions in non-urban areas (Chęciny, Brody, Świętokrzyskie Province, Poland). The subject matter of the paper concerns the quality of architecture and urban planning. In their work, future architects and urban planners must be responsible and socially oriented when creating spaces in the building environment and natural landscape. The designs discussed in the paper demonstrate that modern architecture and natural landscape can both belong to the region’s tradition. Such an approach is both a value and a challenge to the designer and the user.
