Zaspa and Przymorze are currently popular, highly rated residential neighborhoods. The 1970s blocks of flats are prefabricated, multi-family residential buildings whose spatial layouts have become obsolete in the face of today's needs of their residents. The student projects show that these apartments have the potential to create comfortable living spaces, adaptable to contemporary expectations. Designed for fictional residents, the interiors are a journey through the imagined home of young people - fourth semester students.

The students acknowledged that they feel deeply involved in humanitarian crises on a global scale and complex issues around the globe, which encouraged them to take responsibility towards humanity and realize the power of architecture noting how architecture can truly be a powerful tool in serving populations in the midst of poverty and crisis.

Accompanying the conference, there will be an exhibition titled "Peace and War: Architecture of Ukraine." The exhibition will be formally concluded in the presence of the esteemed Rector of Gdańsk University of Technology, Prof. Krzysztof Wilde.
