PROBLEMS Landscape of Small Towns in Lower Silesia – Reminiscences Dating Back to the Middle Ages Krajobraz malych miast dolnośląskich - reminiscencje średniowiecza Zuzanna Borcz Anna Borcz SUMMARYThe article analyses the landscape of small towns in the voivodeship of Lower Silesia with populations up to 20 000. It overlooks small towns that lost their city status over the years but takes into consideration a few Czech frontier towns. It also points to a number of characteristic features that have medieval roots and gives special consideration to such elements as marketplaces surrounded with arcades, quite often with a town hall building and defensive walls with towers and gates. Landmarks in small towns seen from narrow streets, usually from markets are also worth mentioning. Architectural details such as balconies, portals, monuments, votive columns etc. are particularly valuable. The entire city panorama not always visible because of acoustic screens is very important for the landscape. Analysis of the State of Preservation of the Medieval Fortification Elements, in the Context of Landscape Attractiveness Based on an Example of Selected Cities of Lower Silesia Analiza stanu zachowania elementów fortyfikacji średniowiecznej w kontekście atrakcyjności krajobrazowej na przykładzie wybranych miast Dolnego Śląska Jerzy Potyrała Izabela Iwancewicz SUMMARYMedieval fortifications, which were built long time ago, served townsmen as defence against the attacks of enemy armies or band of raiders and for protection against free influx into the city of all kinds of groups of vagabonds. Nowadays, they are a symbol of power, and part of cultural heritage. They also form a disappearing, rare element of urban landscape, which calls for the need of their protection and appropriate exposure. In the region of Lower Silesiaof over 60 cities with a fortified origin there have been preserved until now a little over 30 of them. The aim of study was to select from the investigated Lower Silesian cities the ones with the currently greatest and most attractive range of resources as regards medieval fortified architecture. The Authors made an attempt to assess the rolethat these fortifications play nowin the context of the attractiveness of the city landscape,its attractiveness for tourists and visual identity. The Green areas adjacent to the fortifications were also analysed recognizing the fact that they too provide recreational potential. Green areas enrich the space around the preserved fortifications, and their size and character does matter as well. The analysis encompasses 15 cities where fortifications have been preserved at over 30%. The purpose of this study was to select from among the investigated cities these of the biggest range of preserved elements of medieval fortified architecture along with their surrounding green areas which have a recreational potential. In order to show changes that took place over the years, time periods were selected: 20s–30s of the XX century, 60s–80s of the XX century and present time. The analyzed elements are fortified gates, towers, the length of the city wall in cities with single or dual defensive perimeter, and also the greenery areas around them. Out of the 15 of analysed towns 8 have been found to have a big potential. The preserved medieval fortifications could be a distinguishing factor of these sites through their right exposition in the city landscape and conservational restoration works and completions in their representative parts.

A Concept of Building Walls Development in the Centrum Housing Estate in Wrocław Koncepcja zagospodarowania ścian budynku na osiedlu mieszkaniowym Centrum we Wrocławiu Magdalena Biernacik Karol Wolski SUMMARYGreen walls are alternative forms of green areas that allow to introduce plants into human closest environment. A solution like this is particularly useful in densely built-up cities. Greenery is a very important element of urban space and housing estates, and this results from the human need for contact with nature. In addition to improving the psychological comfort by addressing the aesthetic needs, greenery in urban landscape also serves a number of health enhancing functions. Intensive urban development makes it increasingly difficult to allot land for traditional greenery complexes. Limited space for investments often makes the planned infrastructure the only priority partly or completely disregarding the green space. This results in a reduction in the quality of life in the urban environment. In such a situation the best viable solution in densely built up urban zones is the use of modern technologies, such as vertical gardens, which adapt the unused vertical space for the new purposes. This study presents a development concept of a building facade at the newly formed housing estate Centrum in Wrocław by using green walls technology.
