UNIKATO Residential Building by KWK Promes
Apartment building in Poland.
Unikato is supposed to stand in the center of Katowice – once a dynamically developing industrial city. The testimony of that era is the impressive modernist buildings. Today, the city is experiencing a demographic crisis and suffers from sub-urbanization. There is a lack of new residential buildings, and the city is subordinated to car traffic generated by people coming here every day to work from the sprawling suburbs. Unikato is an impulse to reverse this negative trend and breathe new life into the area.
“Flying house”
“Flying house” by Annunzio Lagomarsini. His wife wanted to see the sea and always have sunlight in the living room.
To do that, Italian retired builder Annunzio Lagomarsini decided to apply all his knowledge into a flying house which took him seven years to build and which he then inhabited with his wife.
The house was built entirely out of scrap materials, could be lifted 22 meters (65 feet) in the air and rotate following the sun. “I kept building until I saw the sea” said Annunzio Lagomarsini “then I stopped. if 22 meters in height weren’t enough, I would have gone even higher.” (1977)
