During the Civil Engineering Day, attended by the Minister Olgierd Dziekoński and other officials from the Ministry of Infrastructure, there were discussions on energy assessment of buildings. The number of attendees interested in this subject was beyond any expectations, which came as a nice surprise for the organisers. Participants were mostly interested in the principles of obtaining energy certificates and bank loans for thermal modernisation.
The Architecture Day, where representatives of SARP and the Chamber of Polish Architects discussed the role of landscape and space in architecture, has turned out to be an important block of meetings. The conclusion from the meeting was that an architect should also be an advisor in the project, and should take into account the environmental and social dimension when designing. The Architecture Day began with a vernissage of the exhibition of winners of SARP Awards of the Year. By courtesy of the KLAFS company, innovative works were presented at an exhibition entitled „Roadshow Delta 115°: visionary architecture of spa equipment".
The second Polish Tile Laying Championships attracted crowds of craftsmen from all over Poland who cheered 20 competitors that have been selected at earlier regional qualifying events. The competition theme was the „Vitruvian Man": a drawing of a man inscribed in a circle and square presenting human body proportions and popularised by Leonardo da Vinci. The Polish Association of Tile Layers, a co-organiser of the Championships, has organised an auction of competition works. The proceedings from the auction will be donated to the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity.
