  • "The Square of the 3 Cultures" is a space in Mexico City with an important cultural, historical, political and architectural value. The name "3 Cultures" is in recognition of the 3 periods of Mexican history reflected by buildings in the plaza: aztec ruins (ca.1400), Spanish colonial(1600), and a massive housing complex (1964). In addition to this...the open space and surroundings of this square are a memorial to the students and civilians killed in this square by military and police in the so called "Tlatelolco Massacre"(1968) after their demonstration against the oppressive government.

  • Riverscape. Facing Visegrad, we can distinguish easily one of the landscape symbols that shaped the Carpathian basin landscape, the Danube. Its water reflects the landscape, from the countryside to the inner city.

  • This is a monument of John Paul II (Poland, city of Olsztyn). From the historical and socio-political point of view, he played a great role in Poland. Above many other issues, he supported the transformation of Poland to become a democratic country. The regard and affection in which the people of Poland held and continue to hold John Paul II is extraordinary (in 1979 during his first visit as a pope, 13 million of Poles saw him in person). Before he died in 2005, there were 230 statues of him in Poland and after his dead this amount lifted to ca. 550 (there are about 200 monuments in other parts of the world overall). Monuments are well recognized and understandable, located in central parts of parks, squars, public areas. Are used by the public mainly as gather points to worship and memorialize. Picture taken in 1995, Olsztyn, Poland.

  • Today nearly 12 million people in Poland live in prefabricated buildings. This panel system entered the our market in the late 80’s and had a major influence on the landscape in every town. There are thousands of settelments which were built with this technology and embrace 3 generations of residents. It is a part of our history, symbol of economic and menthal change of our society. The strucure of settelments is usually the same, including green infrustruction and leisure parts, like if the planners used "copy-paste" tool. Photo taken in Szczecin, 2005, Pomorzany Estate.

  • "Shakhari Bazaar" shares a long history more than 400 years with Dhaka city itself. It is one of the oldest localities of Dhaka city, located near the inter-section of Islampur road and Nawabpur Road - the two main arteries of the old city. For centuries Dhaka has been famous for its traditional arts and crafts. The name implies that the area began as a settlement of "Shakharis" or a community of craftsmen specialized in making conch shell ornaments.The buildings of Shakhari Bazaar trace the history and evolution of building crafts, construction and materials of Dhaka for the past few hundread years. Lack of maintenance and repair has resulted in a worn out appearance. Shakhari Bazaar lined with thin slices of richly decorated brick buildings, built during the late Mughal or Colonial period.

  • “Dhanmondi Lake” is a lake located in the Dhanmondi residential area in the center of the Dhaka city. The lake was originally a dead channel of the Karwan Bazar River, and was connected to the Turag River. In 1956, Dhanmondi was developed as a residential area. In the development plan, about 16% of the total area of Dhanmondi was designated for the lake. Dhanmondi Lake development was an attempt to embody an urban oasis to provide relief in the concrete cityscape. The concept was to invite people to protect the lake from encroachment creating a buffer zone in between the allotted residential plots and the lake. Now, Dhanmondi Lake has become a well visited tourist spot, with cultural hubs such as the Rabindra-Sarobar located along its side.
