The Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship, based in Szczecin, in cooperation with the Koszalin branch of SARP, has announced a competition for the development of a conceptual design for the construction of the Center for Sustainable Development EKOFUTURIUM in Koszalin, together with land development.

The competition is an implementation competition, limited, two-stage.

The multidisciplinary center - unique on a European scale - is to focus on finding and designing solutions for the future, in the universal aspect of the way humans function in the environment. The overarching mission is the contemporary, multi-level idea of sustainability, present in the creation of responsible environmental behavior, innovative material and spatial solutions. Oriented to the challenges and opportunities of man in the face of the future, leads to emphasize such means of expression as hyper-modernity, experimentation, dynamism, openness, dialogue.

Thus, EKOFUTURIUM is to house, among other things, exhibition spaces, conference halls, laboratories, an auditorium, server rooms and a publicly accessible roof garden. The form of the designed building should be read as an ultra-modern dominant, a kind of landmark, welcoming visitors and bidding farewell to Koszalin's guests and completing the panorama of the university's building complex. Due to the role of this project and very interesting spatial solutions, an important competition decision will be the proper setting of relations and compositional links between the Cognitarium cubature and the designed EKOFUTURIUM object.

It is assumed that the facility will function based on the highest standards of ecology, reduction of media consumption, circular economy and based on the principles of biophilic design. The facility should provide healthier conditions of use and implement the principles of reduced environmental impact.

The entire premise is to be complemented by landscaping in the form of a science park, or experience garden, which will be an integral part of the building's exhibition.

Gdansk University of Technology, in cooperation with the Association of Polish Architects, is seeking, through a competition, an architectural and urban planning concept for a multifunctional facility with the function of a sports and entertainment hall and a congress center, which will be located on the premises of the PG Academic Sports Center, at 12 Zwycięstwa Avenue in Gdansk.

Taking into account the prestigious location and the function of the designed building, the proposed solutions should present the highest level in terms of the spatial form of the object as well as the applied material solutions so that the object, inscribed in the space of the Gdansk agglomeration, becomes a timeless icon of modern architecture.

The designed object should have two overground floors and one underground floor, the whole intended for up to 1,500 people should reach a volume of about 56,400 cubic meters.

Wroclaw University of Technology, in cooperation with the Wroclaw branch of the Association of Polish Architects, has announced an implementation competition to develop an architectural concept for the Health Tech Synergy Hub building in Wroclaw.

The competition is an implementation competition, limited, two-stage.

In Stage I, participants submit studies, and in Stage II they submit competition entries.

TheHealthTech Synergy Hub (HTSH) is a newly established center at the Wrocław University of Technology, which coordinates scientific and educational activities in scientific fields conducted at the university, promoting cooperation between scientific units, business and other institutions in the field of medical technology development. Thus, the planned facility is to have both a research character - intended mainly for the realization of the mission and goals of HTSH, bringing together all units of the Wrocław University of Technology working in the sphere of medical technology, and an educational character - intended for the activities of the Medical Faculty of the Wrocław University of Technology.

The development is planned on a plot of land between Smoluchowskiego and Wybrzeże Wyspiańskiego streets in Wrocław, adjacent to the historic B1 and B2 buildings of the Wroclaw University of Technology.

The new development, as we read in the regulations, should be shaped in a contemporary way, respecting the demanding neighborhood - the values and forms of the existing buildings and greenery, which are part of one of the most valuable urban complexes in Wroclaw. Particular attention should be paid to the shaping of the elevations on the side of the corner square and the Oder River boulevard - Wybrzeże Wyspiańskiego Street, along which the entrances to the representative edifices of Wrocław University of Technology - the main building A-1 and building C-13 - are located.

The upper part of the development on the side of Smoluchowskiego Street is recommended to be shaped taking into account the proximity of residential buildings and the legal requirements for sunlight and shading conditions. The way of shaping the development on the side of the western, internal service road between buildings B1 and HTSH should take into account the need for visual screening of sensitive functions.

The roof storey of the building should be treated as the so-called fifth elevation. It is recommended to build technical installations into the volume or shape the forms of visual and acoustic shielding in a manner consistent with the expression of the building.

The building is planned to house specialized research laboratories in areas such as biochemistry, biophotonics, biomechanics, highly specialized medical laboratories, as well as a biobank. A modern Department of Normal and Pathological Anatomy (Collegium Anatomicum), a clinical research support center, as well as a state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging center are planned for the building.

The Employer's expectation is to ensure the scientific openness and accessibility for students of the various functions in the facility, from the level of general communication, but excluding selected specialized units for which, for safety, technological or sanitary reasons, this is not possible. Part of the wall surfaces of seminar rooms and selected laboratories, as far as possible for technological and sanitary reasons, are recommended to be glazed from the side of general communication.

Competition proposals must take into account, among other things, the sustainability and life cycle criteria ofthe materials and construction technologies used. Optimal solutions for rainwater retention, the formation of a favorable internal microclimate of the building and high quality landscaping should be adopted.

The Medical University of Silesia (SUM), in cooperation with the Katowice branch of the Association of Polish Architects, has announced an implementation competition for the development of an urban planning and architectural concept for the Pediatric and Oncology Physiotherapy Center in Katowice-Ligota.

The competition is an implementation competition, limited, two-stage.

In the first stage, participants submit studies, and in the second stage - competition works.

The building is to become a unique in the country facility combining the function of day rehabilitation for small patients with a didactic function in the field of rehabilitation (for students of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the SUM in Katowice). Part of the facility must meet the conditions of a medical entity.

The form and internal organization of the facility are not imposed, but potential nuisances resulting from different functions should be balanced in the design. There should be two independent entrances to the facility - for patients and caregivers, and for students, employees and facility staff. Communication spaces in the facility will also be dedicated to additional recreational and therapeutic functions, and local areas for rest, play, study and waiting should be provided. The center's location among greenery should be used as an asset to allow therapeutic contact with nature.

Around the site, there should be 10 parking spaces for patients, a minimum of 30 parking spaces for other users and 2 bus stands, as well as a therapeutic path for patients and their families. The path should be paved and equipped with landscaping.
