Pipes in the trees
I really enjoyed the municipal engineering museum. It really interesting to see the old forms of transportation that were used in Krakow. My favorite part, however, was seeing the old pipes that were made out of tree trunks. It is a really clever and efficient design for the time it was used. That design shows that people have always looked for practical designs of infrastructure, transportation, and other items used daily. Even though the technology was not up to today's standards, the past citizens of Krakow did what they could to keep the city functioning effectively and efficiently.

DeleteI agree, it was really cool to see how everything was designed and constructed.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was very inventive to use logs as pipes. Although, using logs could cause various diseases that killed people.
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought they would have used logs. I wonder if the water would have seeped through and they didn't get as much water as they could have?
ReplyDeleteI also find it interesting that they used logs to run the water to the city. It was cool looking at the picture on how the process was done.
