The facility should be easy to implement using sustainable and self-sustainable construction technologies, use natural and/or recycled materials available in the area to reduce environmental impact, and be integrated into the rural environment. A one-story building with a maximum area of 500 square meters should not cost more than 70 thousand euros.

The design of the kindergarten should include five classrooms, each accommodating about 20 children, space for administrative needs and meetings with parents, an educational play area, a doctor's office, a dining room, a storage room and toilets.

Competition for the design of the Center for Sustainable Development EKOFUTURIUM in Koszalin

organizer: Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship with headquarters in Szczecin, SARP Koszalin Branch

The Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship, based in Szczecin, in cooperation with the Koszalin branch of SARP, has announced a competition for the development of a conceptual design for the construction of the Center for Sustainable Development EKOFUTURIUM in Koszalin, together with land development. The chairman of the competition jury is Zbigniew Maćków.

The Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship, based in Szczecin, in cooperation with the Koszalin branch of SARP, has announced a competition for the development of a conceptual design for the construction of the Center for Sustainable Development EKOFUTURIUM in Koszalin, together with land development.

purpose

The aim of the competition is to obtain the best architectural, spatial and functional-utility concept of the building (complex of buildings) of the Center of Sustainable Development EKOFUTURIUM in Koszalin together with land development. The object is to be built in the vicinity of the buildings of the Koszalin University of Technology (including the under construction Cognitarium designed by OVO Grąbczewscy Architekci studio) and the sports and entertainment hall.

terms and conditions

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

The multidisciplinary center - unique on a European scale - is to focus on finding and designing solutions for the future, in the universal aspect of the way humans function in the environment. The overarching mission is the contemporary, multi-level idea of sustainability, present in the creation of responsible environmental behavior, innovative material and spatial solutions. Oriented to the challenges and opportunities of man in the face of the future, leads to emphasize such means of expression as hyper-modernity, experimentation, dynamism, openness, dialogue.

Thus, EKOFUTURIUM is to house, among other things, exhibition spaces, conference halls, laboratories, an auditorium, server rooms and a publicly accessible roof garden. The form of the designed building should be read as an ultra-modern dominant, a kind of landmark, welcoming visitors and bidding farewell to Koszalin's guests and completing the panorama of the university's building complex. Due to the role of this project and very interesting spatial solutions, an important competition decision will be the proper setting of relations and compositional links between the Cognitarium cubature and the designed EKOFUTURIUM object.

It is assumed that the facility will function based on the highest standards of ecology, reduction of media consumption, circular economy and based on the principles of biophilic design. The facility should provide healthier conditions of use and implement the principles of reduced environmental impact.

The entire premise is to be complemented by landscaping in the form of a science park, or experience garden, which will be an integral part of the building's exhibition.

Competition for the development of an architectural concept for the Health Tech Synergy Hub (HTSH) building of the Wrocław University of Technology.

organizer: Wrocław University of Technology, SARP Wrocław Branch | investor: Wroclaw University of Technology

Wroclaw University of Technology, in cooperation with the Wroclaw branch of the Association of Polish Architects, has announced an implementation competition for the architectural concept of the Health Tech Synergy Hub building in Wroclaw. {More}

Wroclaw University of Technology, in cooperation with the Wroclaw branch of the Association of Polish Architects, has announced an implementation competition to develop an architectural concept for the Health Tech Synergy Hub building in Wroclaw.

purpose

The purpose of the competition is to obtain the best architectural, spatial, functional-utilitarian, technical and environmentally responsible building concept for the Health Tech Synergy Hub (HTSH) Medical Technology Center building of Wrocław University of Technology, together with land development.

terms and conditions

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

In Stage I, participants submit studies, and in Stage II they submit competition entries.

TheHealthTech Synergy Hub (HTSH) is a newly established center at the Wrocław University of Technology, which coordinates scientific and educational activities in scientific fields conducted at the university, promoting cooperation between scientific units, business and other institutions in the field of medical technology development. Thus, the planned facility is to have both a research character - intended mainly for the realization of the mission and goals of HTSH, bringing together all units of the Wrocław University of Technology working in the sphere of medical technology, and an educational character - intended for the activities of the Medical Faculty of the Wrocław University of Technology.

The development is planned on a plot of land between Smoluchowskiego and Wybrzeże Wyspiańskiego streets in Wrocław, adjacent to the historic B1 and B2 buildings of the Wroclaw University of Technology.

The new development, as we read in the regulations, should be shaped in a contemporary way, respecting the demanding neighborhood - the values and forms of the existing buildings and greenery, which are part of one of the most valuable urban complexes in Wroclaw. Particular attention should be paid to the shaping of the elevations on the side of the corner square and the Oder River boulevard - Wybrzeże Wyspiańskiego Street, along which the entrances to the representative edifices of Wrocław University of Technology - the main building A-1 and building C-13 - are located.

The upper part of the development on the side of Smoluchowskiego Street is recommended to be shaped taking into account the proximity of residential buildings and the legal requirements for sunlight and shading conditions. The way of shaping the development on the side of the western, internal service road between buildings B1 and HTSH should take into account the need for visual screening of sensitive functions.

The roof storey of the building should be treated as the so-called fifth elevation. It is recommended to build technical installations into the volume or shape the forms of visual and acoustic shielding in a manner consistent with the expression of the building.

The building is planned to house specialized research laboratories in areas such as biochemistry, biophotonics, biomechanics, highly specialized medical laboratories, as well as a biobank. A modern Department of Normal and Pathological Anatomy (Collegium Anatomicum), a clinical research support center, as well as a state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging center are planned for the building.

The Employer's expectation is to ensure the scientific openness and accessibility for students of the various functions in the facility, from the level of general communication, but excluding selected specialized units for which, for safety, technological or sanitary reasons, this is not possible. Part of the wall surfaces of seminar rooms and selected laboratories, as far as possible for technological and sanitary reasons, are recommended to be glazed from the side of general communication.

Competition proposals must take into account, among other things, the sustainability and life cycle criteria ofthe materials and construction technologies used. Optimal solutions for rainwater retention, the formation of a favorable internal microclimate of the building and high quality landscaping should be adopted.
