From October 8th to November 8th, 2022, intensive workshops will be held at the Faculty of Architecture at GdańskTech as a part of the international SOS Climate Waterfront project. It is an interdisciplinary project that aims to investigate Europe's waterfront struggling with climate change. The project brings together different disciplines to create new strategies for sustainable solutions for infrastructure and urban planning in Europe.

The main goal of the Gdansk’s workshops will be to develop solutions for selected locations near Martwa Wisła river. The detailed four locations are:

  1. New Port - waterfront
  2. Fortress Wisłoujście
  3. Central Water Square
  4. Litewska Territory

The main aim of the workshop is to exchange ideas and to present forward-looking solutions to problem areas. International experts, city representatives, scientists, doctorate and master students will be working together, gaining new perspectives, discussing new approaches and creating master plans for selected areas. An important aspect of the workshop is its international character, with participants from: Portugal, Italy, The Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey and Poland. The event taking place in Gdansk was preceded by workshops and conferences in other cities participating in the project: Lisbon, Thessaloniki, Rome, Stockholm and Gdansk, which brought innovative solutions for land-water zones, taking into account climate change and aspects of a resilient city.

Organizers: Faculty of Architecture at GdańskTech, Gdańsk Municipality

Duration: October 8th, 2022 to November 8th, 2022
