The International Architecture Biennale will be held in Krakow on October 10 and 11. Organized by the SARP Krakow Branch, the event - this year under the slogan "Re-Think " - is a forum for architects to exchange ideas and experience. The event is accompanied by an architectural competition - this time architects will face the challenge of transforming one of Krakow's most important spaces. The partner of the competition is the Waterworks of the City of Krakow.

purpose

The purpose of the competition is to select the best project relating to the idea of re-composition of the surroundings of the Wawel Hill.

The space at the foot of Wawel Hill has long been used as a car traffic backstop. After the removal of parking lots, it has a chance to be re-composed and drawn into the layout of public space both on the Vistula boulevards and around the castle. An additional impulse for change is the planned construction of a large underground rainwater retention reservoir.

The study area is delineated by a broken line covering Zwierzyniecka Street, Kossak Square, Powiśle, Podzamcze, Grodzka, Bernardyńska, Czerwiński Boulevard to Dębnicki Bridge. It is advisable in the competition work to make critical use of previous studies on the development of Kossak Square and the project for the arrangement of the Vistula Boulevards.

The project should seek the sense of the place, bring it out or develop it. An important element of the competition work is to define the function of the square created after the removal of the bus parking lot, as well as the associated tourist information pavilion. It is sought to indicate the function, define its shape (expansion, reconstruction) or recommend demolition and other arrangement of this part of the site.

terms and conditions

The competition is open and ideational (conceptual) in nature. Participation in the Biennial competition is open to all interested parties; it can be individual or team. Participation in the competition may be any person of legal age; no member of the jury, or persons related by blood, affinity or business interdependence, may participate in the competition.

Participation in the competition is free of charge.

A detailed description of the competition is contained in the regulations.

Competition for the concept of reconstruction of the Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński Bagatela Theater building in Cracow.

organizer: Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński Bagatela Theater in Cracow.

The Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński Bagatela Theater in Cracow has announced an implementation competition for the concept of reconstruction of the building on the corner of Karmelicka and Krupnicza streets. The jury was headed by Janusz Sepioł, Architect of the City of Krakow. {More}

The Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński Bagatela Theater in Cracow has announced an implementation competition for the concept of reconstruction of the building on the corner of Karmelicka and Krupnicza streets. The jury was headed by Janusz Sepioł, Architect of the City of Cracow.

purpose

The purpose of the competition is to select the best functional-spatial and arrangement concepts. The concepts should provide for future-proof and feasible solutions, both in terms of economic efficiency of the construction process, low operating costs during the life of the building, and positive impact on people and the environment.

The main idea of the competition is to find the optimal spatial-utilitarian layout while meeting the numerous requirements arising from the realities of the theater's functioning in its current form, as well as technical constraints or those arising from local law and conservation requirements.

The second major goal of the redevelopment is to redefine the classical function of the theater as a place for the performance of art on stage. Incorporating the lower foyer area into public space by widening the busy urban street zone and creating a place for people to meet, for the presentation of original works in the form of mini-galleries and art installations, or for the presentation of commercial or informational content is intended to bring art and people closer together. This unusual approach of juxtaposing the theatrical sacrum, i.e. performances, anterograde, specific climate of meetings with the profane, i.e. the everyday life of the urban street is intended to define a new quality of space and have a positive impact on social awareness and make the theater's offer more attractive.

terms and conditions

The competition is a limited, one-stage, implementation competition .

The building consists of two originally separate buildings: located along Karmelicka Street, a tenement built after the end of the 19th century, where the administrative function was located along with acting and technical facilities, and located along Krupnicza Street, a tenement added in the 1920s for theatrical performances, with small social and technical facilities, which has been rebuilt several times, so that it has completely lost its historical appearance. The townhouses are connected to each other both structurally and functionally, and the differences between the levels of the two parts indicate the lines of historical division.

The main space of the theater - the lower and upper foyers - should relate in style to the urban street, framed, however, in a modern, subdued and elegant aesthetic framework. It is to serve as a background for the presentation of artistic, advertising and informational content. The lower foyer is to be designed to be accessible all day, regardless of artistic events or performances taking place in the facility. The theater auditorium is to be designed using minimalist means of expression, to be a coherent aesthetic continuation of the space of the two foyers, while providing full visual and acoustic comfort for the audience and artists performing on stage. The part of the building entered in the register of historical monuments is characterized by a strongly blurred style of 19th-century
bourgeois "glamour". Efforts should be made to recreate it as faithfully as possible in terms of functionality, while preserving historical details. At the same time, in order to integrate the two parts stylistically, similar stylistic and material treatments should be used to give the whole a new, coherent expression.

      Tegoroczna edycja konkursu architektonicznego „HUB it! – HUBnij to!” otwiera nowy rozdział w dialogu między światem zrównoważonego transportu a środowiskiem akademickim. Organizowany przez Polskie Stowarzyszenie Nowej Mobilności (PSNM) konkurs skierowany jest do studentek i studentów uczelni artystyczno-inżynierskich, zainteresowanych tworzeniem nowoczesnych rozwiązań architektoniczno-mobilnych dla współczesnych miast.

      Tegoroczna edycja konkursu architektonicznego „HUB it! – HUBnij to!” otwiera nowy rozdział w dialogu między światem zrównoważonego transportu a środowiskiem akademickim. Organizowany przez Polskie Stowarzyszenie Nowej Mobilności (PSNM) konkurs skierowany jest do studentek i studentów uczelni artystyczno-inżynierskich, zainteresowanych tworzeniem nowoczesnych rozwiązań architektoniczno-mobilnych dla współczesnych miast.

      cel

      Celem konkursu jest wypracowanie nowatorskich koncepcji mikro-terminali transportowych – stacji końcowych dla pojazdów mikromobilności, takich jak rowery i hulajnogi elektryczne, wpisujących się w zintegrowany system zrównoważonej mobilności miejskiej. Projektowane HUB-y mają pełnić funkcję nie tylko komunikacyjną, ale również społeczną – jako miejsca spotkań, kultury, wypoczynku i środowiskowej integracji.

      Mikro-terminal powinien stanowić odpowiedź na współczesne wyzwania związane z mobilnością, zmianami klimatycznymi oraz potrzebą uporządkowania przestrzeni miejskiej w skali „ostatniej mili” — czyli końcowego odcinka codziennej drogi użytkowników. Istotne będzie tu także włączenie rozwiązań proekologicznych i innowacyjnych, takich jak lokalna produkcja i magazynowanie energii, gospodarowanie wodą opadową czy funkcje edukacyjne i społeczne.

        The Municipality of Rumia has announced an implementation competition for the development of an architectural and urban planning concept for the area of the center of Old Rumia. The historic city center is to become an attractive space for Rumia residents.

        purpose

The area covered by the competition is the most important area for building the city's identity based on its historical significance. The designed space is to be a place close to people, full of identity, historical memory and contemporary energy, beating with the rhythm of meetings, culture, neighborhood life.

        The area covered by the competition is an area of about 2.6 hectares, divided into three design areas: Kashubian Square, Freedom Square, a section of Church Street, a walking route along the Zagórska Struga River (Area A), and in subsequent stages: the adaptation of the historic mill building (now the building of the Rescue and Fire Fighting Unit) (Area B) and the concept for the development and roofing of the Rëmsczie Rënk Municipal Market (Area C).

          Bathroom Design 2025. the 26th edition of the Geberit competition

          organizer: Geberit

          The 26th edition of Geberit's "Bathroom Project 2025" competition has been launched. The theme of this year's installment is the conceptual design of a public toilet in the surroundings of Jasne Błoni in Szczecin, in the vicinity of the historic City Hall building. {More}

          The 26th edition of Geberit's "Bathroom Project 2025" competition has been launched. The theme of this year's edition is the conceptual design of a public toilet in the surroundings of Jasne Błoni in Szczecin, in the vicinity of the historic City Hall building.

          purpose

          The purpose of the competition is to promote good design practices that will result in raising the standards of public toilets and ensuring the comfort and safety of their users.

          The partner of this year's edition is the Association of Polish Architects, Szczecin branch.

          The subject of the competition is the conceptual design of a public toilet in the surroundings of Jasne Błoni in Szczecin. The toilet is intended to be a better quality alternative to the commonly used mobile toilets, both to the most common mobile chemical toilets made of plastic, so-called "toi-toi", and to container toilets. The improved quality is to do with the quality of use and aesthetics.

          The basic functional scope of the toilet, which is the subject of the competition task, is to provide access to the toilet facilities for people with limited mobility, the elderly, people with visual or hearing disabilities, low-aged people or children. The principles of universal design should be applied.

          terms and conditions

          The competition is open, participation is open to natural persons of full legal capacity and residing in Poland, another European Union member state, as well as Ukraine and Belarus.

          The competition is aimed at students and graduates of architectural studies at the Faculties of Architecture of Polytechnics, Academies of Arts or Academies of Fine Arts.

          The location of the new cubature for public toilets is possible in the northeastern foreground of the Municipal Office building, in the area of a small square located in the breakdown of the façade, between the eastern gate wing and the zryzalitized wing stretching along Karol Szymanowski Street towards St. Jacek Odrowąża Street.

          The new volume should not disturb the basic architectural composition of the northwestern elevation of the side wing of the Municipal Office building. The optimum solution from the point of view of conservation will be to sink the building into the ground by half a story, so that the upper edge of the elevation or the highest roofing element does not exceed the line of window sills of the high first floor of the historic edifice.

          The architecture of the building should operate with a contemporary formal repertoire, without stylization or reference to the manner of composition and finishing of the historic edifice.

          Finishing materials should be of the highest quality and relate to the architectural and spatial context of the surroundings of the historic edifice and the public green. It is recommended to use natural materials with a color scheme that will not contrast with the historic City Hall building.

          The toilet should be equipped with Geberit brand products and other products offered by Geberit group companies.


          Detailed guidelines are available in the competition regulations.

                  The University of Warsaw and the Warsaw Branch of the Association of Polish Architects are organizing an architectural and urban planning competition for the development of the area of the Central Campus of the University of Warsaw in the heart of the capital - at 26/28 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street.

                  purpose

                  The purpose of the competition is to obtain the best concept of developing the area of the Central Campus of the University of Warsaw in terms of urban planning, architecture, space, functionality and economy of use. The concept should be characterized by high quality of public space, appropriate to the history and tradition of the place.

                  terms and conditions

                  The competition is an implementation competition, unlimited, two-stage.

                  The design for the development of the area of the Central Campus of the University of Warsaw should include concepts and principles of shaping and functioning:

                  • visual identification system for the space of the UW Central Campus,
                  • communication system,
                  • plant cover with automatic irrigation system,
                  • rainwater management (including blue-green infrastructure),
                  • park pavilion,
                  • small architecture objects,
                  • water elements,
                  • lighting,
                  • back-of-house facilities,
                  • waste collection area (sheds/alters/dumpster facilities),
                  • renovation and modernization of fragments of fences.

                  The entire scope of the competition study is located in a conservation area. It is required that all adopted design solutions provide access with the possibility of use for people with special needs including people with disabilities as mobility and perception limitations on an equal footing with all other users, in accordance with the principles of universal design, inclusivedesign and architectural accessibility.

                  The competition design should take into account, among other things, the need to minimize the adverse phenomenon of overheating of the space of streets and squares during the summer months. Small architecture objects (including trash garbage cans and benches) should feature contemporary means of expression that fit into the historical context of the surroundings. The organizers also expect to present principles for creating a coherent system of spatial visual identification for the UW Central Campus area, as well as the development of greenery.

                        The Municipality of the City of Rzeszow, in cooperation with the Association of Polish Architects Branch Rzeszow, is organizing a competition for the design of a complex of cultural facilities New Library. According to the ambition of the competition organizers, it is to be the best library in the world!

                        objective

                        The purpose of the competition is to obtain the best concept in terms of urban planning, architecture, space and functional-utility of the complex of cultural facilities of the New Library for the Municipality of the City of Rzeszow.

                        The proposed solution should create a space organized around culture, well-connected with the city center, designed to activate the residents of the city and the region to actively participate in organized cultural activities, offering inspiring spatial conditions for the implementation of these activities.

                        terms and conditions

                        The competition is an implementation competition, limited, two-stage.

                        The competition concerns the largest investment dedicated to culture in the history of the city of Rzeszow and the Subcarpathian province. Its subject is the urban and architectural concept of the New Library complex together with the development of the space in its immediate vicinity. Those who take part in the competition are also expected to present conceptual solutions for land development in the study area delineated by Piłsudskiego, Cieplińskiego, Jałowy and Towarnickiego streets.

                        The New Library will consist of a Library Part (the Provincial and Municipal Public Library run jointly by the Subcarpathian Regional Government and the Municipality of the City of Rzeszow), an Event Part (run by the Municipality of the City of Rzeszow) and a Common Part connecting them.

                        The two institutions will be separately managed and separately financed. For these reasons and due to their different ways of functioning, as well as the possible phasing of the investment, their spatial and functional separateness is assumed. At the same time, a partial merger of the two institutions is assumed, aimed at optimizing costs and enabling cooperation by complementing each other's programmatic and spatial offer.

                            Architectural and urban planning competition for the design of the State Archives in Piotrkow Trybunalski

                            organizer: State Archive in Piotrkow Trybunalski, A2P2 architecture & planning

                            The State Archive in Piotrkow Trybunalski, in cooperation with A2P2 architecture & planning, has announced a competition for the development of an architectural concept with land development for an investment involving the construction of a new building of the State Archive in Piotrkow Trybunalski at 10 Batorego Street in Piotrkow Trybunalski.

                            The State Archive in Piotrkow Trybun alski, in cooperation with A2P2 architecture & planning, has announced a competition for the development of an architectural concept with land development for an investment involving the construction of a new building for the State Archive in Piotrkow Trybunalski at 10 Batorego Street in Piotrkow Trybunalski.

                            purpose

                            The purpose of the competition is to obtain an architectural concept for the Archive building - a facility combining the following functions: storage with facilities, access to the collection, office, exhibition and educational functions, along with the necessary facilities.
                            The solutions should combine the highest architectural and functional quality with mitigation and adaptation to climate change and principles of a closed-loop economy. The Archive building is to be efficient, throughout its life cycle, economically, technically, environmentally and socially. The Archive building should not be generic or anonymous, but relate to the historical context of downtown Piotrkow Trybunalski, a royal, parliamentary and tribunal city.

                            As institutions open to the public, the State Archives are obliged to take into account the needs of all users, including those with special requirements. The design of the new edifice should be based on the principle of universal design, integrating modern solutions that will ensure accessibility for people with limited mobility and diverse perceptual needs.

                            The essence of the archive's activity is its resource - archives, which must be properly protected. It is crucial to ensure proper storage conditions, such as adequate temperature, humidity and air quality in specialized storage facilities. Access to the resources should be strictly controlled and limited to authorized persons only. Secure archival storage facilities for perpetual preservation are the basis of operations.

                            The designed building should reflect the mission, stature and function of the National Archives, while being a space that encourages visitors to visit and use the collected resources. The key features of the facility must be aesthetics, durability, modernity and simplicity, which work harmoniously with openness, friendliness and full accessibility to create an inclusive and representative space.
                            The building's surroundings should be designed as a well-used public space that will be a place that is frequented by both residents and users of the archival resource.

                            terms and conditions

                            The competition is an implementation competition, limited, two-stage.

                            To the second stage five teams will be qualified (reimbursement of the cost of participation in the second stage 17.5 thousand zlotys). The budget for implementation (including design documentation and demolition work) is PLN 137,600,000.00 gross, and the remuneration for design documentation - 5.11% of the value of construction work.

                            Study studies and competition works will be evaluated according to the relevance and attractiveness of design solutions, functionality of the proposed solutions, as well as operational advantages, economy of solutions and pro-environmental solutions.

                            When shaping the body of the Archive, the aim should be to achieve a simple structural layout . The Archive should be designed as a highly energy-efficient and zero-emission building, environmentally friendly, provide high user comfort, and reasonably minimize the built-in and operational carbon footprint. The Archives building is to have low maintenance costs and minimized energy consumption, using technology, energy-efficient materials and equipment, and renewable energy sources. The building is to meet accessibility requirements for people with disabilities and special needs.

                                • proposing urban planning solutions on the investor's plots, determining the nature of the architecture and the basic volumes of the proposed buildings;
                                • design decisions on existing buildings - student house "Jowita" and canteen (reconstruction, expansion, superstructure, construction of facilities);

                                    organizer: City of Oświęcim and SARP Krakow Branch | investor: City of Oswiecim

                                    The City of Oswiecim, together with the Association of Polish Architects, Krakow Branch, has announced a competition for the design of the building of the City Hall in Oswiecim, which will move from its former location at the Oswiecim market square.

                                    The City of Oswiecim, together with the Association of Polish Architects, Krakow Branch, has announced a competition for the design of the building of the City Hall in Oswiecim, which will move from its former location at the Oswiecim market square.

                                    purpose

                                    As we read in the regulations, the purpose of the competition is to obtain the best architectural concept of the Town Hall in Oświęcim in terms of architecture, space and functionality and use. The guidelines contained in the Regulations of the competition should be treated as recommended, so deviations from these guidelines are allowed, as long as they are reasonably justified.
                                    The area under study is located in the central part of the city, between Generała Jarosława Dąbrowskiego Street on the south side and Żwirki i Wigury Street on the north side. The square is currently part of the city market, and is surrounded on the north, west and south sides by diverse buildings, with a predominantly residential function.
                                    Among the evaluation criteria are the attractiveness of the proposed solutions, the functional-utility efficiency of the designed building, optimization for investment or the use of the principles of inclusiveness and ecology.

                                    terms and conditions

                                    The competition for the architectural concept of the Town Hall in Oswiecim is an implementation competition, limited and two-stage.
                                    In the first stage, participants will be tasked with presenting a study in the form of two boards, a descriptive part (up to 6 pages) and an identification card. Those who qualify for the second stage will prepare a study paper, consisting of up to 6 charts, up to 12 pages of descriptive part and an identification card.
                                    The designed building is to be representative in character and not lower than four stories above ground. As we read in the regulations, the foreground of the building should be characterized by high representative qualities, and the building itself should have a modern body, being a showcase of the developing city. The designed building of the City Hall should have all the rooms necessary for the functioning of a local government facility, including administrative rooms, the City Council, the Registrar's Office and those intended for the City Guard.
                                    One of the competition tasks is the rational optimization of the space and program in terms of the investment budget, as well as the appropriate selection of areas for the various spaces in the above context, and the maximum cost of implementation should close to PLN 46,750,000 gross.
