The perfect combination?



Want to live in a super modern villa but you are also very concerned about the safety of your family? Most people think you can't really have both of them at the same time but that you have to sacrifice either safety or comfort. They are all wrong...Maybe not all of them because the house which is super safe and modern can be very costly but it is by all means possible. 
One on them is located on the outskirts of Warsaw, Poland. It was designed by an excellent polish architect Robert Konieczny who was  awarded many times in prestige competitions like Wallpaper Design Award 2017 which he won with his own house. This house tho is different as it is supposed to serve two functions to people living in it. The first one is being comfortable and good looking. It has got everything you can think of when you imagine a villa. It has got a huge windows so the interior is very light and you almost don't need any artificial light sources during the day. During the evening it looks very classy and stylish. It has got even a pool so you can easily call it luxurious.

 The whole building is a concrete monolith, while it's mobile parts are made of light steel trusses filled with mineral wool. It's also pretty big and spacious co you will never feel claustrophobic inside. At first you might get confused when you see its entrance.



This is how it looks. It's a bridge that can be lifted so nobody can access the house. When you see it you start to think that this may not be a regular home. And you are right. This is where its coolest aspect comes to live. The house can close up and open its walls. The innovation of this idea consists in the interference of the movable walls with the urban structure of the plot. Consequently, when the house is closed the safe zone is limited to the house's outline. In the daytime, as a result of the walls opening, it extends to the garden surrounding the house. When it's closed it becomes a real fortress. It goes kind of like this:
The southern elevation is closed by an enormous gate of 14 and 6 meters. It is made with white anodized aluminum which makes it possible to function as a movie projection screen. All the movable elements are based on built-in electronic engines, that guarantee safe operation. It doesn't close just for the safety but also to better use the energy it gained during the day through its solar panels and mechanical ventilation. Every morning it opens up automatically and closes up after dusk. It's a really interesting building and surely one of the most iconic houses in Poland. If you would like to learn something more about this incredible piece of architecture I leave here the link to the video in which Robert Konieczny talks about his work because who knows it better than it creator.

  1. This certainly is an interesting ultra-modern minimalist building. It would be nice if more family houses in Poland looked like this instead of the prevailingly ugly building people erect. However, let me remind you that your word limit was 200 words.

  2. It was not a big problem for me that it was "a bit" too long as it was not boring. i actually learned sth intreasting about modern architecture. coming back to your topic, don't you think that it is not really good when everything is based on computers? These days things like hacking are more and more developed. It looks safe but sometimes strong metal doors can be better than stronger but electrical metal doors. what do you think about it?

    1. You have a point there. There is always possibility of someone hacking and opening dors with no problem but if we use very good security system I think we are good.

  3. It has to be a strange feeling to close yourself into a metal can. What if something brake or as Filip said computers will be hacked and you will be stuck inside of it. Is there a chance to give sb who is close inside a food or things necessary for life?

Does art have to be beautiful?

Does art have to be beautiful? In my opinion it doesn't. I think that some works of art just can not be beautiful. For example there are some incredible movies that are considered art but can't be beautiful because you can't really call a movie about some hard topics like war or murder beautiful. Another thing is that some pieces of art aren't made to look nice but for example to make people think about something or show them how our world changes. This is why In my opinion art doesn't always have to be beautiful.

Should people invest money in space exploration

People should definetly invest money in space exploration because it will give us a chance to colonize other planets. This is very important because we live on one small grain of sand suspended in space and we have no more place we can live. Also if some extremely dangerous event occured we would be doomed but if we establish many self-sufficient colonies in different systems we would secure our species from going extinct. The self-sufficiency is crucial here because they will be able to function just fine with our earth being destroyed not habitable any more. This is why I think we should invest money in it.
