Draw, copy, build

When extended infrastructure investments begin, it is rational to apply alleged repetitive projects. This solution saves time and money, among others. And taxpayers and soldiers themselves would surely besides be pleased with the coherent and reflective spirit of modern architecture a military kind that in the future will let to separate (and appreciate) military buildings.

The military is asking for investment repeatability. Garages, repair workshops, diagnostic stations, MPS warehouses – for wheeled and caterpillar bewups, for tanks, launchers and cannon-haubic – can be identical in design, while differing in specialist equipment. Just like the hangars for the aircraft, the guards for the military fire department, the flight control towers. This regulation may besides apply to buildings built for soldiers: it is about barracks and office buildings, valuablely, offices of passes, sports halls, fields, canteens, appeal squares. Copy-Paste can be ordered ammunition storage, weapons, uniform supplies, container weapon ranges, positions for fresh radio-location stations. Sometimes only these projects request to be adapted to the circumstantial area and its weapons.

The reproducibility of the construction facilitates the planning of the barracks, rationalises their functioning and, above all, facilitates the establishment of the investment budget. It besides accelerates construction work. Of course, provided that architectural-built and method designs are rationally prepared. The sense of repeatability of military structures was appreciated by Germany, so our military inactive uses many designed and built by them almost a 100 years ago functional barracks in Lower Silesia or Western Pomerania. Entering them, a soldier immediately knows where to find a weapons warehouse, where to find a bathroom, where he has a company commander's office. The Americans besides chose to copy architectural solutions, which can be seen by visiting their post-war bases, built in their homeland and in Europe. The repeatability was not alien even to the Soviets who installed themselves in Bornem-Sulinów or Świętoszów.

I think The investment plans of our troops related to strengthening the east part of the country lead to wider beginning to repeatability of ordered structures. Firstly, due to the fact that the objects put into service in the last 5 years allowed to collect conclusions and find out which functional-use plans and architects' ideas work, and which are misfires. Second, due to the fact that repetition saves money and time.

RECLAMA

As a rule, with larger complex tasks, regional infrastructure boards and field airport branches give the architectural offices 360 days to make and agree documentation and get permits. At smaller facilities, architects get to prepare papers 180–270 days. If repeated documentation were used, this time could be shortened. If the conditions would force it, 30–90 days can be spent to adapt the plan and get the essential construction and connection permits. It's a profit advanced on the investment agenda (from the thought to giving distant the keys) presently assuming the completion of large facilities in 6 years. Let me remind you that before 2022 the full investment process took up to 8 years.

Yes, there have been repetitious announcements. Military institutions are already ordering the improvement of repetitive documentation (then the rights to it are transferred to the property of the State Treasury). Praiseworthy examples are AWL dormitories projects-u, referred to as ‘Siedlce-type office-bar building’ and ‘Merry-type office-bar building’. Although in this case it is amazing to order the construction of another “barrack complexes” in Żagań for the Institute of Military Types AWL. possibly they needed smaller objects.

Three identical buildings according to the repetitive plan are to be ordered for the 18th Anti-Aircraft Regiment in Sitańcu-Wolicy. It is besides worth mentioning 2 barracks with administrative and office parts, made in modular technology, which were ordered by the Military Property Agency in the expression "design and build" for the Augustów Bomb Squadron. These buildings will most likely be a copy of the dormitory donated in 2024 for the subjects of the Military method Academy in Warsaw. Reason: the same company will build them. Unfortunately, these are inactive a fewer announcements of a fresh approach.

In my opinion, repeatability due to time and cost optimization seems essential erstwhile the Ministry of Defence intends to build for 1st Infantry Division and the 8th Infantry Division of respective fresh units in places where till last year farmers had grown grain or were increasing forest samoeuvres. The usage of the same architectural and method documentation will reduce the investment process, facilitate the work of construction teams, reduce the number of faults (identified can be improved in adaptation projects), and its dissemination in a larger area of the country will give fresh military facilities a snout of modernity.

The recently created architecture is expected to attest to our generation in decades, even a 100 years. Since it will talk about our reason and taste, I would like to separate it with architectural solutions emphasizing the intent and character of the hosts of these objects. For this purpose, it may be worth writing a nationwide competition for the plan of a single, standard office of passes, which is the place of first contact of the citizen with the military, following the example of innovative, cheaper maintenance of stations placed for 10 years by the PKP? And guarantee that only specified pass offices are created where fresh units are formed and there are no requirements imposed by the monument conservationist.
