purpose

The purpose of the student competition is to develop an urban-architectural concept for the development of the area around the Cracow University of Technology building at 114 Lea Street and the arrangement of the space on the first floor of the building (plot no. 742/11, cadastral unit: Krowodrza, precinct number: K-2).

The competition organizer expects a conceptual design of the area around the building and a conceptual design of the arrangement of the entrance areas to the building, taking into account the needs of the building's users — employees and students of the Cracow University of Technology, tenants of commercial premises and their clients, including people with special needs. The result of the competition will be the selection of the best functional-spatial solution for the area at 114 Lea Street and the entrance zones to the building.
