Alpejska przestrzeń grozy w opowiadaniu E.F. Bensona
No full textThe Alpine horror space in E.F. Benson’s story The Horror-Horn The article presents the image of the Alps in the work of the British writer Edward Frederick Benson. The author focuses in her reflections on Benson’s story The Horror-Horn, still unpublished in Poland, one of the first works which feature an icon of popular culture: the abominable snowman. In his story Benson depicts the Alps in accordance with a convention typical of horror literature, though the descriptions of mountain peaks have their roots also in the folk tradition or in mythological images. An analysis illustrating Benson’s “Alpine horror” mechanism is complemented by a fragment of The Horror-Horn translated into Polish.The Alpine horror space in E.F.

Effective strategy making, co-designing as a tool for effective strategic planning
No full textThe study explores the factors for success of long-term spatial development policies. The theoretic frame assumed that co-ownership of the content of a development policy is not enough for sustained support. Co-creation of a development vision with all relevant parties in a region or city would entail co-authorship, which enhances the chances for longer lasting support. The researcher, being an experienced practitioner emphasizes the importance of the way participants interact in the decision-making process, which is often seen as a black-box with surprising outputs. The novel "interactions approach" addresses the question how the experiences of participants may result in perceptions and feelings of co-ownership and more importantly, of co-authorship. The empiric study analysis five projects in four European countries. The interrelations between context and content factors established within the cases confirmed the influence on effectiveness in decision-making rounds and the eventual success of co-designing a scenario for future development. The importance of open processes so that creativity is enabled and design methods can be practiced is essential. Involving of design trained experts and facilitating a design attitude in the decision making process of development strategies increases the possibilities of innovation in future circumstances. The author hopes to bridge the worlds of planning theory and planning practice.OTBArchitecture and The Built Environmen
