very interesting text, written by Eve Overseas-Przyłuskiej, appeared on the site podgorze.pl . One of the latest investment in Krakow is the construction of footbridges Bernatka, leading from the Old Casimir Podgorze. On the one hand bridge is very popular in good weather, crowds of walkers follow her, reviving and filling to capacity with lovely quiet corners in the past and on the other side of the river (the owners of the local pubs can not complain.) If the museum building will start again Kantor, then Cricoteka will reap the benefits.
the footbridge, there is even a lock in love - I wonder if this is not a clever marketing exercise.
On the other hand, the investment raises many questions. The footbridge is located very close to the bridge Pilsudski. Is not it better so it was to build the first pass through the river walks around Krakow's old somewhere, where would be more imparted, for example, between the Wawel Castle and the Center for Arts and Culture Japanese Manngha? For Mannghi is not easy to reach and build a case for some transition in that area has been discussed for a long time.
More important, however, is something else: the question of the difference between a successful project implementation. That's what you can read for podgorze.pl . The difference is fundamental and to the detriment of what has been accomplished. The footbridge was to have a light and an openwork design resembling a leaf. That which was, by no means resembles a leaf, only przyciężkawy engineering skeleton, the dominant open countryside and to make matters worse, obscure historic bridge Pilsudski - the most beautiful bridge of Cracow.
remember how to describe the outcome of the contest announcements, the bridge will penetrate the hitherto harmonious cultural landscape. Does not penetrate.
This is because the designer did not take into account the requirements of the protection of the Vistula. It was necessary to change the form of arcs, in winter, salty water can not flow down the river straight into ... Read for yourselves. The question arises whether they should look just like contests. Known, a margin of change should be permitted in relation to the winning projects. At what stage should however be reviewed in terms of implementing projects? Who is supposed to do, to avoid situations that competitions are a sham, and projects are worse and much different from those that have chosen? After all, permitted to another and a lesser degree of interference in the urban landscape than what eventually came to fruition.
Similarly, in the case of previous municipal investments, including obśmiany been called by local media. "Crystal" - a fountain on the Main Market, reminiscent of a more vent lavatories. Also, quite a successful project for a new device to the Ghetto Heroes Square. The square is filled with metal chairs, but lighting has not yet started.
wonder how in this respect will look next projects, revitalization of the city squares of Kazimierz, which is held competitions. As much as I am afraid to think, especially since the projects are demanding. Surface Wolnica Square to be covered with exotic wood. Am I to understand that suddenly turns out that require their maintenance requirements are here to put wood-product?
I hope they do not.
