The remarkable technological development of the modern world has many faces. Undoubtedly, one of the more important ones is broadly understood computer science. Its various applications have been increasingly present in architectural and town planning practice for several decades. In the area of the built environment, other projects are being developed in parallel with popular CAD and BIM platforms, including geographic information system (GIS) related applications. One of them is QGIS. Can it be helpful in the process of creating art, e.g. architecture and urban planning? Currently, this program is dynamically developed and offers numerous tools that can be used in spatial planning, spatial management, in the work of geographers, naturalists, and perhaps also urban planners, landscape architects, or ordinary architects.
