THE BRIDGE | HOSPICE HOME FOR THE TERMINALLY ILL

location: Przylasek Rusiecki, Cracow, Poland year: 2024

semestr: 4

collaboration: Wiktoria Musiolik, Aleksandra Kowalczyk, Zuzanna Dzień competition: Buildner Competition reward: Honorable Mentions

This architectural project conceptualizes a hospice as a symbolic ‚bridge’ between life and death, offering patients a peaceful environment to experience their final journey with dignity. Located in a natural setting, the design emphasizes openness, connection to nature, and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design features slender wooden columns, expansive glass openings, and a water element, all contributing to a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The hospice offers a holistic approach to palliative care, addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Shared gathering spaces, private rooms, and therapeutic areas create an environment that encourages social interaction while allowing for solitude and contemplation. Designed for inclusivity and accessibility, The Bridge provides a sanctuary where patients and their families can find peace, acceptance, and a connection to the surrounding landscape.

THREE HOUSES ONE HOME | MATERNITY CENTER

location: Casamance, South of Senegal year: 2024

semestr: 4

collaboration: Wiktoria Musiolik, Aleksandra Kowalczyk, Zuzanna Dzień competition: Kaira Looro

The Kaira Looro Maternity Centre is designed to integrate seamlessly with the local architectural style, fostering a familiar and welcoming environment for expectant mothers. Childbirth can be a stressful and challenging experience, often leading women to prefer giving birth at home. This project addresses that concern by providing a space that feels like home while ensuring access to essential medical care. The design consists of three interconnected circular structures, inspired by traditional local dwellings, fostering a sense of comfort and community. Built with natural, locally sourced materials, the structure prioritizes sustainability, affordability, and ease of construction. By incorporating traditional architectural elements, the project fosters community acceptance, steering away from an institutional aesthetic that might discourage women from seeking medical care. Instead, the warm and familiar atmosphere fosters a sense of security and belonging, encouraging more women to receive professional care in a safe setting.

2 3 | STUDENT HOUSE

location: Genoa, Italy

year: 2025

semestr: 5

collaboration: Aleksander Hosumbek

This project envisions a student housing complex in Genoa’s Porto Antico area, harmonizing contemporary architecture with the historic urban landscape. The design follows a modular approach, with a stepped volumetric composition that maximizes natural light and enhances connectivity between communal and private spaces. The ground floor features shared amenities, while upper levels house residential units with adaptable layouts. The façade incorporates green elements, reinforcing visual harmony with the surrounding context. By employing thoughtful spatial organization and dynamic massing, the project cultivates a sense of community while preserving the site’s historical significance.

SWIMMING POOL WITH DIVING BASIN AND SPORTS HALL

location: Katowice, Poland

year: 2024

semestr: 4

This architectural project presents a swimming pool and diving facility alongside with a sports hall in Katowice. The concept focuses on creating a functional, flexible, and sustainable building with a compact cubic structure, optimizing space efficiency while integrating seamlessly into the urban environment. The facility features a 25-meter swimming pool and a diving pool with a depth of 5.5 meters, catering to both recreational swimmers and professional divers. Additionally, the sports hall provides space for various indoor sports activities, enhancing the building’s multifunctionality.

The design emphasizes transparency and openness, incorporating large glass surfaces that allow natural light to flood the interior while offering panoramic views of the city. The use of raw concrete and minimalistic detailing reflects a modern, industrial aesthetic, reinforcing the building’s structural clarity. The surrounding landscape is thoughtfully designed to enhance accessibility and integrate green spaces for relaxation.

MON TONTON | CHAIRS

workshop work year: 2025

The “Mon Tonton” Workshop was an exploration of the role of chairs in shaping social spaces. During the workshop, we engaged in site visits across different locations, documenting and analyzing the significance of seating in these spaces. Inspired by our observations, we then decided to design new chairs specifically for the visited locations, aiming to enhance their social and functional dynamics. The workshop provided a hands-on, research-driven approach to furniture design, linking it to broader themes of social interaction and memory. The final outcome was a series of reimagined chairs that were tested and exhibited, demonstrating how discarded objects can be transformed into meaningful architectural elements.

Our inspiration stemmed from the traditional Cypriot chair, which served as the foundation for our work. We worked on the chairs in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus—a divided city that became a key influence on our designs. Our concept was to create chairs that incorporated fragments from both the northern and southern parts of Cyprus, symbolically uniting these two spaces into a single object.

Our workshop activities included:

0.1 Identifying and collecting discarded chairs from various locations.

0.2 Cataloging them through sketches and drawings.

0.3 Disassembling the chairs to study their components and structure.

0.4 Reconfiguring and reconstructing the chairs by tracing selected parts and carefully assembling them into new compositions.
