Natura i architektura: realizacja nad jeziorem Ukiel w kilku kontekstach
Nature and Architecture: the Realisation at the Lake Ukiel in a Few Contexts

Summary/Abstract: Nature is, of course, not only one of the most elementary terms of philosophy, but one of the elementary terms of any language indeed. Even the most concise review of relations of nature and architecture in the philosophy of creativity in our cultural circle has to mention Lucretius, Vitruvius and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. However, a description in the context of phenomenology seems to be the most adequate today, and also the most simple for an architect interested in philosophy (de facto a layman). Chris an Norberg-Schulz and his Genius Loci: Towards a Phenomenology of Architecture is indispensable here. Such – and not only such – description shall be applied to one of the recent realisations of Polish architecture. It is the largest – and in the opinion of not only of the authoress of this essay – the best layout of public space in an imposing context of nature: the Lake Ukiel in Olsztyn.
