Reference to tradition in contemporary architecture of Poznań Agglomeration as a chance for space quality improvement

Summary/Abstract: This article is the result and partial summary of the author’s research on thespatial degradation of Poznań metropolitan area – a complex problem, which is brieflydiscussed in this work. The aim of the article is to present the most successful examplesof contemporary buildings in the analysed area that are in contrast to the majority ofbuildings, which do not respect the cultural legacy and building tradition of the region.It shows that it is possible to successfully combine modern design with traditionalforms and that such an approach always gives benefits to the surrounding area and itsspatial order. The scarcity of such buildings proves that the level of architecturalawareness of society regarding local building traditions and cultural heritage ofWielkopolska is low. It also results in progressing spatial degradation of suburban areas.This elaboration shows that the recipe for improvement of spatial order in Poznańagglomeration is to propagate the knowledge of cultural identity of this region andpromote correspondence of contemporary architecture to the local building traditions.
