CONTEMPORARY URBAN HOUSE IN WARSAW ARCHITECTURAL FORM AS TOOL FOR BUILDING COMMUNITY _______________________________________________ Faculty of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology
DIPLOMA PROJECT prof.: Pawel Grodzicki
The subject of the design study with the leading idea “Building communities” is a residential building with a commercial first floor in the Warsaw district of Powiśle. The exact location is at the corner of Tamka and Cicha Streets, and the address is 32 Tamka St. The choice of the plot was motivated by the desire to respond to the problem of isolation of social circles and problems with integration of new residents. The reason for this is the strong gentrification of the neighborhood, i.e. the displacement of formerly poorer residents of tenement houses and blocks of flats by new, richer members of society. This is a result of the increasingly attractive image of Powiśle caused by placement new high-standard residential investments and prestigious retail and service facilities. With my project I try to influence these social behaviors by generating spatial solutions provoking interactions between residents of the building and people using services present there. The building can be divided into 3 elements. Residential part, commercial galleries and first floor with a courtyard. The apartments are accessible from the galleries on the inner side of the courtyard, where common spaces, resting and meeting places are planned to be located. They have a direct, open visual contact with the courtyard, which is accessible to both residents and people using services on the first floor. The café located there is to have a multifunctional character and together with the
green courtyard constitute a space for work and rest for the users. The area of the café is easily adaptable and may be separated into isolated working rooms or completely opened up spaces. Private balconies on the street elevations of the building also remain an important element. Each apartment has equal access to at least one balcony. This is a unifying element and gives a strong message that every resident, regardless of the size of their apartment, has access to what the building offers with its aesthetics of representative elevations. Both the social character of the building and the context of its historical surroundings were important. The location, according to the Study of Conditions and Spatial Development of Warsaw, is defined as a complex of post-industrial buildings of historical and cultural value, and it is recommended that it should be subject to preservationist protection in the future. Following this fact, the building continues the frontage development and in a way tends to organize the space on the basis of former quarters. It refers in its overall height and the height of its storeys to the neighbouring building. The finishing material of the façade is light-cream brick with darker grey brick in the ground floor. Brick was an inseparable part of the old industrial Powiśle and often appears in the historic fabric of the surrounding buildings, hence the choice of this material as the leading aesthetic material of the building.

URBAN THERMAL BATHS IN WARSAW MOOD SHAPING AND SPACE DIVIDING METHODS _______________________________________________
Faculty of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology
Semester 7 studio
prof.: Marcin Goncikowski, Pawel Grodzicki, Tomasz Olszewski
Location
Poligonowa 34 street, Warsaw, Poland
The term I propose is a study of the influence of spatial divisions on the shaped mood. The idea was born as a result of analysis of the phenomenon of rest and relaxation as understood by contemporary social needs. Having defined the problem, which in the understanding of the project is a constant stream of information and omnipresent pressure to be „up to date” with the surrounding world, I moved on to an attempt of a design response. The building, with a seemingly open, locally even single-space plan, is in fact divided into many smaller zones. By positioning the columns appropriately, they intermingle and create visual walls at different viewing angles. The building invites one to
immerse oneself and get lost without unnecessary analysis of the observer’s surroundings. Being in the interiors is accompanied by individual feelings of isolation and intimacy, which in the sense of the design problem is supposed to lead to the best possible feeling of relaxation and unwinding.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL BUILDING WITH RESIDENTIAL PART IN BUCHAREST _______________________________________________

The project is an attempt to find identity and common spaces in the city, where all manifestations of individuality have been harassed for years and entire neighborhoods have been wiped off the face of the earth in order to realize increasingly insane totalitarian ideas.
ople from outside the power structure of the country. My project is supposed to go in a completely different direction and combine the calm, almost small-town character of the buildings behind the square with the representative frontage parallel to the river.
The building combines a large amount of common and residential space. It has 15 apartments, most of which can also be adapted for short-term rentals. In common spaces we can find places for coworking, recreation, eating, relaxing or urban agriculture. This is one of the most important elements of the project.
It was also important for me to use and capture local architectural elements such as typical Bucharest roof pergolas and to relate the storey layout to the neighboring buildings.
The idea for such a strong common program came from the desire to deny the totalitarian assumptions which are located in the immediate vicinity of the building. The socialist realist dictator’s palace which we see on the other side of the river with its group of official buildings was supposed to be a forbidden city, a zone closed for pe-

WOODEN SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE IN THE WARSAW DISTRICT OF SIEKIERKI _______________________________________________
Faculty of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology
Semester 4 studio
prof.: Maciej Miłobędzki, Maciej Rydz
Location
Nadrzeczna 5 Street, Warsaw, Poland
My single-family home design was inspired by the character of the local development. The plot is located at Nadrzeczna street in Siekierki district. This area is characterized by a large number of buildings with additions over the years. Another characteristic feature is the slightly allotment character of the whole area. These attributes of the nearby architecture had a great influence on the development of my project. I based the house on the idea of additionality and solidity with varying heights. Five main blocks containing functions that require more intimacy shape the rest of the building’s interiors. The resulting spaces have a more corridor-like and narrow character. The heights are also significant. Differentiated ordinates of the ceilings gradate the weight of the rooms and give them character (e.g. kitchen as the centre of the house has the highest ceiling and highly placed windows but the living room is lower and narrower thanks to which it has a more cosy disposition).
the total purpose of using specific solutions depending on the given material. In my case it was wood and in my design I tried to emphasize as much as possible the wooden character and construction of the house. E.g., through the visible roof structure or by continuing the rhythm of the structure’s posts in the elevation.
Widok od ulicy
The whole house was designed for a family of 4 people. It is also worth mentioning about the function that was given to us. Each of us was supposed to include in the project a service proposed earlier by himself. I have chosen a wicker craft workshop. I motivated this choice by the fact that this profession is, next to carriage drivers, the second most popular one in Old Siekierki.
What is also important, throughout the whole design process, was the idea of „building with materials”, i.e. Lokalizacja 1:1000

PAVILION FOR VOLUNTEERS AT THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN THE WARSAW SUBURBS _______________________________________________
Faculty of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology
Semester 2 studio
prof.: Piotr Kudelski, Agnieszka Kwiecinska
Location
Paluch 2 Street, Warsaw
Volunteerism is an extremely noble and hardworking organization. However, like every organization, it has its problems. The issue of „burning out” of volunteers should be taken very seriously and try to find a solution. My pavilion is meant to highlight the achievements of the shelter’s volunteers and show them how important they are. When they enter or look at the pavilion every day, the number of dogs that have already found homes thanks to them will motivate them to continue their work. What is more, the building that I designed has
to fit into the terrain by referring to the variability of the terrain through the height of the levels while its contour line is inscribed so as to avoid the existing trees.

Location

The Atelier Complex Densities class consisted of many stages. The project itself was not the most important because we had about a month to complete it. It was preceded by a series of analyses, interviews and workshops with other students in order to learn as much as possible about the city and its problems. The city we worked in was Chandigarh, a great project by Le Corbusier, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first series of workshops was to familiarize us with Rhino+Grasshopper software. With it we were able to do a lot of analysis such as sunshine, noise, light pollution, amount of green space, trees etc. Thanks to them we were able to obtain data such as the projected amount of electricity production from solar panels placed in strategic locations or roadway temperatures in sunny areas, noise maps, etc. A site visit was also important before the design. The 2 week study tour included a workshop with students in Mumbai and a site visit and survey in Chandigarh. The area I had at my disposal was sector 45, a very interesting point on the city map. At

PROJECT The idea for the project-parking came up after a joint deliberation between students and teachers. After conducting in-depth analysis, we found that this was a completely neglected field in Chandigarh and here we have an area for creative interpretation of the theme which has become parking. Moreover, the changes over time and the gradual evolution of the building in the years 2025, 2035, 2045 were important to us. The main idea of the project for the main parking facility was to return as much space as possible for the temporary market that was located there before. The design is to create a building with public and commercial space surrounding it. I achieve this by using a ramp that extends across the façade to create a living fabric of market and public spaces.
The idea for the second building was born out of earlier reflections on the material cultural heritage of the city and the needs of the local community. It needs to be multifunctional, versatile and adaptable. The modular design attempts to respond to these needs. The second important idea was to pay attention to the material heritage of the city. Brick panels could be developed through workshops and architectural demonstrations. This would aim to return brick to its pedestal as a major material in the city. Grooved in Le Corbusier’s time, it was the main asset of the city. Its good quality and interesting use in patterns and ornaments was known throughout the region. Today it has declined considerably and my intention was to return it to its due glory.

The aim of this workshop was to capture the characteristics of the specific territory of Bucharest and to answer contemporary issues of the city. The workshop brought together architecture and urban planning students from France, Belgium and Romania to answer local questions such as landscape and infrastructure on the urban periphery, metropolitan consolidation, social changes in the post-communist urban environment or the search for new typologies based on Bucharest’s typical carriage houses and communist-era blocks.

Our project focuses on the area marked as number 1, which is the empty area behind the palace with the cathedral and the Academy area. The northern part is a residential-commercial zone where we find blocks of flats and an exhibition hall in the remains of a pre-war stadium.

Semester 7 urban studio prof.: Grzegoz Mika
Location
Kamionek district, Warsaw, Poland
Design team
Weronika Wilkiwska, Magorzata Łysik, Marta Miszczak, Kewin Niewiarowski
The activities were organized for groups of four. The group’s task was to develop a comprehensive master plan for the district, in accordance with Polish planning standards, and to prepare documentation for a local zoning plan. This is a document consisting of a description of the development and a drawing of the plan. The team was also responsible for a number of spatial, historical, social and natural analyses. The main aim of our project was to use existing greenery and to refer to the old industrial character of the district. We planned a mixed-use arrangement of commercial, office and residential buildings intertwined in the greenery.
Its structure consists mainly of residential, commercial and office buildings. This mixed character helps to maintain the self-sufficient character of the area. The neighborhood is centered around a square on the site of the former factory. The design idea was to blend greenery and water into the plaza by means of a parametrically designed floor of variably sized concrete slabs. The pixel-like layout gives the impression of melding nature and the human environment.
