title	Afterword: The Design Studio of The Future

summary	Things began to change in the mid-1940s, though architects hardly noticed. Scientists and engineers started to speculate that the new electronic technologies which had emerged in the wartime years would profoundly change the character of intellectual work. Vannevar Bush (1945) imagined a device called the Memex, which would function as a personal information server. By the 1950s computers were becoming a commercial reality, and in 1956 Fortune magazine published a remarkably prescient depiction of a machine that we can now recognize as a computer-aided design workstation complete with graphic input devices and a multi-window display showing different views of a three-dimensional object. These wonderful machines were never built, much less put to any practical use, but they established a powerful idea.

title	Architecture of Post-war Hospitals as a Part of Cultural Heritage of contemporary £ódŸ
source	ENVISIONING ARCHITECTURE: IMAGE, PERCEPTION AND COMMUNICATION OF HERITAGE [ISBN 978-83-7283-681-6],Lodz University of Technology, 23-26 September 2015, pp.232-240
summary	In the period 1945-1989, the spatial transformation of Lodz was accompanied by the development of hospital facilities, which are an essential part of cultural heritage of the post-war history of the city. They represent a set of cultural, ethical and aesthetic standards of their time, the knowledge and acceptance of which may play a key role in the development of the tradition of the city. The studies and efforts made to systemize the advantages of the discussed architecture as well as its popularization are an urgent issue, due to the currently occurring intensive and, to a large extent, uncoordinated processes of transforming hospitals built after 1945. It is worth emphasizing that the post-war Lodz architecture is a kind of excellent historic record deserving common acceptance, thorough documentation and protection.

title	Neptune: A Hypertext System for CAD Applications
source	Proceedings ofACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data, (Washington D.C., May 28-30 1986) pp. 132-143
summary	Even though many of the essential notions of hypertext were first contained in the description of a "memex," written by Vannevar Bush in 1945, there are today only a few scattered implementatlons of hypertext, let alone any serious use of it in a CAD environment. In what follows, we describe what hypertext is all about We describe a prototype hypertext system, named Neptune, that we have built.
