Green apartments, green public spaces, a focus on pedestrian traffic - this is how {tag:studenci} of Politechnika Lubelska sees the area around the Globus Hall in Lublin. Her project shows what a modern urban complex could look like.
The design of a multifunctional urban complex at the Hala Globus in Lublin is an attempt to emulate modern, rapidly developing trends in urban design, taking into account local conditions and the context of the site. The project seeks to refer to historically established urban planning ideas while taking into account contemporary needs.
place of residence and a variety of services
The study area is located in the Rury district - the southwestern part of the city of Lublin, in the heart of the district, where mainly service facilities are concentrated. In close proximity is a ravine belonging to the Ecological System of Protected Areas (ESOCH) and the Tomasz Wójtowicz Globus Sports and Entertainment Hall.

The developed project envisages the creation of a complex that will be both a residential-friendly place and an attractive service and recreational facility, combining places to work, a variety of services - including culture and sports - user-friendly public spaces and high-quality urban greenery.
pedestrian amenities
The project aims to highlight the pedestrian user in the city space. It demonstrates how multi-levels in communication can be an interesting spatial experience and a fast and safe way to get around.

The pedestrian bridge is a key element of the project, integrating the various buildings of the complex and creating a cohesive pedestrian walkway. Combined with the green roof terraces, it gains the character of a public space and becomes an important element of the transportation system. It begins its course from the ramp located on the street, on the axis of St. Joseph's Church, then smoothly passes through the green terraces, offering access to a variety of services, to finally end at Tomasza Zana Street as a winding ramp - acting at the same time as an urban dominant.

Public square, playground and linear park
The project area includes a variety of recreational and public spaces. The centerpiece is a large public square opening to the Globus Hall. A multipurpose field is planned for the sports part of the complex. Along the western part, a linear park extends, and a playground, community garden and recreation areas are envisaged near the residential development.

greenery, greenery and water
A great deal of attention was also given to blue-green infrastructure solutions. In the design process, efforts were made to take into account the current terrain conditions. A system of rain gardens and hydrophytic reservoirs was introduced to increase water retention and provide an appropriate microclimate. Permeable pavements were also used. Small community gardens with beds and greenhouses for residents were proposed above the residential buildings. Terraces associated with the office or service area were designed as gardens with trees and low vegetation and equipped with elements of small architecture, providing a friendly space for users of the footbridge and services to stop.
Analysis

The project includes an architectural development in the form of a youth pavilion connected to a pedestrian bridge. It is located in the southeastern part of the area next to the playground, overlooking the city skyline and the ravine. The main goal was to link the building with the footbridge, which was achieved by dividing the body into three floors. A café with a reading room and catering facilities is planned for the first floor, a study and coworking area with meeting rooms is planned for the second floor, and the second floor, connected directly to the footbridge, houses a terrace and café with a bar accessible from the outside. The building is designed in wood-frame construction.
