Niemal od początków państwa tworzono je najpierw jako obronne gniazda rycerskie, później, od połowy XVII wieku, jako skromne (w porównaniu do pałaców) rezydencje właścicieli ziemskich. W Polsce takich małych siedzib ziemiańskich było stosunkowo dużo w porównaniu z innymi krajami Europy.

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the capital of the European Union, is well-known as an international financial centre, and its growth in importance and affluence is increasingly reflected in high-quality architecture. With the recent opening of the Philharmonie by Christian de Portzamparc and the Museum of Contemporary Art by I. M. Pei, Luxembourg has impressively proven that the city is serious about its ambition to become an significant cultural city and an important European city for contemporary architecture.

Retail trade has recognized the opportunity of qualification and individualization through high-grade buildings. For a long time commercial architecture was linked exclusively to the city center: markets, passages and, starting in the 20th century, Department stores. In the postwar period, shopping malls made their appearance at the urban periphery, introducing new approaches that included space for leisure activities and gastronomic amenities.

Mythical homes in the land of the gods Discover the best of Greece's hidden treats Barbara and René Stoeltie bring you yet another excursion to the best of the worlds country homes—this time to the mythical land of Greece. Go island hopping with the Stoelties and discover the best of Greece's hidden treats, such as the hilltop vacation house of Robert Browning, descendent of the English poet, in Hydra, a stunning 18th century Turkish-Greek palace—the former residence of a Turkish governor, now inhabited by a farmer and his family—on the Argo-Saronic Islands, and the cozy, romantic home of Onassiss ex-pilot Basile Touloumtzoglou and his wife, Tilly.

The number one cause of Global warming is Architecture - the buildings. Buildings are responsible for 40% of the Co2 that is emitted into the atmosphere. The architects must take this responsibility and move from geopolitics towards biosphere politics. A Green New Deal is a real test of how this can be achieved. The context for the intervention is an existing historic building in Barcelona, the Centre of Arts Santa Monica; a building to explore the Third Industrial Revolution as the potential of a transformation towards an empathic architecture. Nature should let us show the path.
