Abstract
The author of the article the is analysing the problem of modernity in architecture on the example of the concept of Podlasie Opera and Philharmonic in Bialystok – one of the most interesting project of contemporary architecture in Poland. It shows a kind of new way in creating modern public building not only in Poland but also in Europe. That means a special synergy of ideas, tradition, technology and nature in architecture – the sophisticated way to achieve modernity in contemporary design. The project was based on three ideas – which concerns mainly to local context (religious hills, Orthodox and Jewish cemeteries), tradition of antique architecture and saint places of Israel and the city centre of Bialystok. Significant role in the project plays the greenery – plants on elevations, poles, roofs, introduced on a few different levels. This ecological aspect refers to the very important tendency of 21st century – sustainable architecture. The complex was designed by studio of Marek Budzynski Architect and was constructed during 2005−2012. We can define the project as the synergy and synthesis of the tradition with the modernity, integration of architecture, culture, technology and the landscape.
