Summary – Summer School in Wiele

Participants in summer school in Wiele in 2025

From September 24 to 26, the seventh edition of the Summer School organized by the Department of Environmental Design took place. This time we traveled to Wiele in the Kashubia region at the invitation of Sylva, a company specializing in the production of pine structural and façade elements as well as garden accessories. We visited Forest District in Bartel Mały, the Sylva sawmill and prototype hall, and learned about the challenges of building with CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) technology.

Cairo University Delegation at the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk Tech

Cairo University Delegation at the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk Tech- participants and urban design area
In early July 2025, the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the Faculty of Architecture of Gdańsk University of Technology hosted a delegation of academic staff from the Faculty of Urban and Regional Planning at Cairo University, visiting as part of the Erasmus+ Staff Mobility programme. The visit to the Faculty of Architecture was part of a long-standing collaboration initiated by Professor Piotr Lorens and Professor Khalid Zakaria Eladli Imam, and currently continued by the team of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning.

The week-long visit of Cairo-based urban planners—engaged both in teaching and in research on various spatial planning issues—was dedicated to the topics of port city urbanism and the revitalisation of waterfronts in historic metropolitan centres. The guests explored the historical city of Gdańsk, including the redeveloping post-shipyard areas, as well as the city centre of Gdynia.
