Wydanie 2, angielskie, zmienione I poprawione Revised english edition 2 Tłumaczenie Translated by Monika Cesarz ISBN 978-83-7880-629-5 © Copyright by Wydawnictwo Politechniki Śląskiej Gliwice 2019 The moment that nature enters into relationship with architecture it becomes no longer whole. It changes its appearance and is reduced to elements like light, wind, water or sky. Light, wind, water or sky become the symbol of nature. Nature, which up to that point has remained definite, becomes, through its resonance with the geometry embodied in the architecture, an abstraction.

Especially, the last part about the development conditions and the potential of underwater architecture needs to be researched again. New possibilities have come into the picture and new implementations are being built. A general aim is to prepare a completely revised part about development possibilities as well as a new scope and area of implementation. In order to serve this purpose, the scheme of the work has been changed in such a way as to better fit the established goal. Topicality of the set of literature research has remained unchanged. The structure of the monograph has been remodelled in order to better represent the scope of the research. The publication has been divided into three parts which will be published in separate monographs. PART 1. STUDY AND INVESTIGATIONS PART 2. DESCRIPTION AND SYSTEMATICS PART 3. A NEW SCOPE OF IMPLEMENTATION, CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT All three parts will be published separately paying attention to new current studies. The first part placed in the present book describes the relevance of the topic and provides the documentation of the scope of investigations. The information from final annexes has been placed at the main body of the monograph, because it improves the logic of the science work about aquatic architecture. The full investigations presented in one of the chapters of the monograph can invite readers to participate in the research and take their own view on objects classification. It is interesting if the reader will have the same classification results as the author? The next part will focus on the description and systematics of aquatic architecture. The final part will be the realization of the aim and it will contain a new scope and conditions of implementation of the aquatic architecture. The second edition will be published in English with important changes in the structure of the work. The scope of aquatic architecture is international, so the first edition in Polish had a small range of influence. This is the reason for the preparation of the English edition. Additionally, the monographs will be published
