The subject of the competition was the development of an urban and architectural concept for two residential tenement houses in Jeżyce, Poznań.

The aim of the competition was to obtain the best possible answer to the question: what should a model social housing development look like in the heart of Poznań’s historic urban district?

The competition jury, chaired by Karol Fiedor, M.Arch., in accordance with the competition regulations, awarded one main prize and three equal distinctions.

We are pleased to announce that Patryk Tkaczyk and Łukasz Tkaczyk have been awarded in the Young Architects Competitions.

The competition project focused on Djúpivogur – a site defined by the striking contrast between Iceland’s raw natural landscape and the mechanical geometry of an abandoned runway. Our students designed observational infrastructure that integrates non-invasively into the sensitive ecosystem serving as a habitat for the Arctic tern.

The seminar marks the conclusion of a collaboration between the Faculty of Urban and Regional Planning – Cairo University, the Department of Advanced Urban Design, Faculty of Architecture, Gdańsk University of Technology, and the Gdańsk City Architect’s Office.

That’s how this year’s Eco-Tree at the Faculty of Architecture, Gdańsk University of Technology, came to life. Created in a zero-waste spirit, it is made entirely from materials used every day in design and studio work. The project is a faculty initiative and the result of a shared effort by students and staff.
