Community projects

During the event, we will present selected student projects and models. Among the projects will be, among others, intergenerational activity centers, schools, as well as other buildings with social functions, such as community centers. The meeting will be not only an opportunity to learn about student projects, but also to talk about architecture that responds to the real needs of users. During the discussion panel, we will consider what the path from concept to implementation looks like and what makes a building truly become a place for the local community. The event will combine the perspective of students, practicing architects, as well as people connected with the daily functioning of local activity places. The meeting will be led by: dr inż. arch. Hanna Malik-Trocha architect, as well as an academic teacher at the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology, conducting classes related to designing for local communities, universal design and accessibility of the built environment.
