Schody w przestrzeni miejskiej jako przykład konfliktu między wartością użytkową a efektem artystycznym
Stairs in urban as an example of a conflict between the utility and artistic effect

Summary/Abstract: The authors formulate a thesis stating that modification of former innovations, which were supposed to improve the movement around urban space, nowadays often bring a disruption into communication. The emphasis that modern architects put onto the artistic side of the projects, leads to modification of habits, and brings out new behavioural standards, that are not always agreeing with biological capabilities of the users and do not always reside within their cultural bounds (users vary in age and level of fitness).The example of such phenomenon can be illustrated by stairs, still present in modern urban space, yet often lacking the element of comfort, in favour of bringing out an attractive architectonical form.
