Abstract
The choice of a particular architectural solution when designing
a building considerably influences the costs of its
construction. The article presents the methods of evaluating the
degree of complexity of the building shape. On the basis of factors
specifying building shape complexity an analysis of multi-family
buildings in Krakow was conducted. The analysis concerned 40 buildings
constructed by developers who received their building permit
in the years 2004-2005, and – for comparison – 30 buildings whose
building permit was issued in the second half of the year 2010. The
study also included the way the grounds were used for the analysed
constructions. The result of the research revealed a slow growth in
the use of plots for building investments in Krakow.
