Białystok, the capital of the Podlaskie region, N-E Poland, covers 102 km&amp;sup2; and has <italic>ca. </italic>293 000 inhabitants. In recent centuries the city has been incorporating its suburban villages. In effect, relics of village-like plot structures have been retained and immersed into the whole cadastral structure of the city. In the article, distribution of cadastral relics of extreme land fragmentation have been surveyed, based on two www GIS portals: http://gispodlasia.wrotapodlasia.pl and https://gisbialystok.pl. We extracted data about areas with extremely narrow and elongated plot structure, i.e. plots which are 1 to 20 m narrow while hundreds of meters long, sometimes of geometric proportions even as extreme as 1:600. About 50 areas with relics of extreme land fragmentation have been recognized, of which 15 areas seem to be essential for the city functional structure. Therefore, Białystok can be seen as an unique city in terms of its rural-derived structure with numerous remnants of extreme land frgmentation.

Włodzimierz Naumiuk is a recognized folk woodcarver and sculptor from Kaniuki, Podlaskie voivodeship, N-E Poland. He was “discovered” in the 1960s and invited for art exhibitions, and his sculptures were subjects of press notes, newspaper articles and also research works, including, among others, an extended paper by Jacek Wołowski, published in 1985 in “Polska Sztuka Ludowa”. In this paper, some hitherto unknown aspects of Naumiuk’s technical proficiency related to woodworking and carpentry are presented, with focus on his vernacular carpentry skills and knowledge. The objective of this work is to bridge the gap between Naumiuk’s art and carpentry skills and knowledge, in order to place his art in a wider technology context. This work is based on personal interviews with Włodzimierz Naumiuk, on 05.04.2021, 03.09.2022 and 01.11.2022.

Scattered information about cordwood masonry was gathered from different sources such as books, professional articles, popular articles and websites. historical cordwood masonry construction techniques and newer cordwood masonry construction techniques were included. current teachings of ecological construction practices were added, and private and professional individuals’ knowledge. three main cordwood wall types were evaluated and the wall type - single log with centered insulation space - was found to be optimal. spruce <italic>(Picea abies)</italic> was identified as the best suited tree species in norway. mixing of clay based mortar was explained. load bearing can be done with post framework, or the cordwood walls themselves can be load bearing. solutions for stabilising corners were found. it is optional to clad the house or leave it unclad. momentums for future scientific research were pointed out, such as finding thermal transmittance u (w/m2K) for woods and mortars, and understanding humidity transportation efficiency in different types of wood with/without cladding. unanswered questions were set forth. this is a pre-scientific literature study.
