Konstrukcja i architektura hal sportowych na Podhalu (na wybranych przykładach)

This article concerns the issue of construction and architecture of four selected sports halls in the Podhale region. Two of them are situated in Nowy Targ: the first by the building of Economic Schools Complex in Kowaniec Street; the second by Special Needs Center in Jana Pawła II Street. The next two are objects designed in Rabka-Zdrój: one is located by E. Romer Secondary School, and the other by the School Complex in Kosciuszko Street. Because the discussed objects are situated in the Podhale region, the local climate and the lie of the land enforced the use of non-standard technological solutions in the projects, especially construction solutions which are worth describing. In all four cases construction significantly influenced architecture, and the degree of this influence was determined by location and functional principles to varying extent.
