PROBLEMS Lighting Sculptures as a Tool for Crafting Abstract Landscapes Instalacje świetlne jako narzędzie w kreowaniu krajobrazu abstrakcyjnego Joanna Szwed SUMMARYSince times Prehistoric light has been the object of Man’s desire and respect. Artificial lighting resulted from humanity’s struggle to become independent of Nature’s limitations, and quickly became the symbol of technological progress and development. Nowadays, innovative lighting technologies, new materials and optical systems create new opportunities. Artificial lighting is not only the working tool of professionals in the field of lighting, but also an inspiration for artists. More and more often architects, graphic designers and photographers employ lighting in their work, giving a new, abstract look to space. PREZENTATIONS A Musical Ending to University Studies.

Greenery on Polish Playgrounds – a Case Study in Szczecin Tereny zieleni na współczesnych polskich placach zabaw na przykładzie Szczecina Anita Białczak-Bujek SUMMARYThis article presents the results of research conducted to evaluate the quality of green areas on playgrounds built in Poland. The multitude of projects undertaken to develop children’s playgrounds, which are done at considerable expense, should include an accompanying investment in greenery, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also because of the healthful impact on children. Funds are theoretically available for greenery, for example, in the flagship grant program “Happy Schools”, which finances the building of school playgrounds. However, in practice new greenery isn’t being included in the projects. What is the reason for this and how is it possible, since funds are allocated for this purpose? This article is an attempt to answer these questions.
