descriptionOrganized by the National Heritage Institute and the Katowice branch of SARP, the national architectural competition "Your Home - Dialogue with Tradition" had Silesia as its theme. This competition was the first in the series, the next editions concern the architecture of the Podlasie and Warmian-Masurian provinces.
The competition task, which was set for architects and architecture students, was to develop an architectural and construction design of a detached single-family house, a ready-made design, i.e. intended for multiple use, which would fit into the traditional rural cultural landscape of the Silesian province.
The goal of the competition was to find new patterns of single-family housing that would continue the best traditions of rural and suburban construction. Also a plus in the eyes of the Competition Jury was the project's inclusion in the philosophy of the European Green Deal.
