The University of Warsaw and the Warsaw Branch of the Association of Polish Architects are organizing an architectural and urban planning competition for the development of the area of the Central Campus of the University of Warsaw in the heart of the capital - at 26/28 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street.

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

The design for the development of the area of the Central Campus of the University of Warsaw should include concepts and principles of shaping and functioning:

• visual identification system for the space of the UW Central Campus,
• communication system,
• plant cover with automatic irrigation system,
• rainwater management (including blue-green infrastructure),
• park pavilion,
• small architecture objects,
• water elements,
• lighting,
• back-of-house facilities,
• waste collection area (sheds/alters/dumpster facilities),
• renovation and modernization of fragments of fences.

The entire scope of the competition study is located in a conservation area. It is required that all adopted design solutions provide access with the possibility of use for people with special needs including people with disabilities as mobility and perception limitations on an equal footing with all other users, in accordance with the principles of universal design, inclusivedesign and architectural accessibility.

The competition design should take into account, among other things, the need to minimize the adverse phenomenon of overheating of the space of streets and squares during the summer months. Small architecture objects (including trash garbage cans and benches) should feature contemporary means of expression that fit into the historical context of the surroundings. The organizers also expect to present principles for creating a coherent system of spatial visual identification for the UW Central Campus area, as well as the development of greenery.

The Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice and the Katowice branch of the Association of Polish Architects announce a competition to develop an architectural concept for the Raciborska 44 project, an expansion of the teaching infrastructure of the Academy of Fine Arts campus for art and design in Katowice.

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

Due to the development of the university and student interest in new fields of study, it has become necessary to expand the ASP campus with new teaching facilities. The resulting space will serve students, but also as a field for exchange with external stakeholders - entrepreneurs, local government units, cultural institutions, etc. The teaching and research activities carried out in the building will allow the implementation of high-level research and projects, including those with a significant impact on improving living conditions.

The designed building should, by its architectural form and the building materials used, strive to maintain spatial order.The Academy's goal is to construct an energy-efficient building equipped with modern installations that meet environmental standards, designed in accordance with the principles of universal design, sustainable development, inclusive and fully accessible to all users, including those with special needs. This investment also envisages solutions using passive building elements (e.g., passive windows, roller shutters) and the use of technologies to improve the automatic control of equipment in the building. Indications for the use of the above elements will be analyzed at the design stage. It is also assumed that a green roof and terrace will be created, combining ecological and didactic aspects, as well as taking into account the guidelines of a closed-loop economy .

The City and Municipality of Serock is looking for an idea to create a new Educational, Cultural and Sports Center through a competition.

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

The competition task is to develop an architectural and urban design concept for the expansion of a school and nursery building with a sports and cultural complex, along with the necessary accompanying infrastructure and land development at ul. Pułtuska in Serock - a full-size sports hall with stands with access from the school building, social, service, sanitary, technical and storage facilities, an auditorium with workshops andrecreational facilities, administrative spaces, catering space, underground parking, a sports shooting range and an emergency shelter area, as well as the necessary landscaping (communications, parking lots, landscaping).

The construction of a sports hall and auditorium with accompanying infrastructure and landscaping as part of the project for the Center for Education, Culture and Sports in Serock is an initiative that aims to create a place that combines various aspects of social, cultural and sports life of local residents.

During school hours, the premise is guaranteed to secure the educational needs of sports and physical activities (PE classes) and cultural activities (e.g., school ceremonies) while being open to the needs of users wishing to take advantage of the sports and cultural offer in the morning and early afternoon (e.g., classes for seniors). During afternoon hours, the facility must allow full use of sports and cultural activities (including sports sections, individual and group activities, sports and cultural events, commercial activities) without the risk of unwanted entry of outsiders into school and administrative spaces.

Competition entries will be judged on the basis of:

• attractiveness of the proposed architectural and development solutions,
• functional and utility efficiency of the newly designed building and land development,
• the feasibility and economy of the adopted solutions,
• application of environmentally friendly and energy-saving solutions,
• consideration of all requirements specified in the functional-utility program.

The Wadowice Cultural Center, in cooperation with the Cracow branch of the Association of Polish Architects, has announced a competition to develop a concept for the expansion and reconstruction of the existing facility located in the central part of Wadowice, at the intersection of Teatralna and Henryk Sienkiewicza streets.

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

The Wadowice Cultural Center aspires to be an important meeting place in the city: residents among themselves and "meetings with art" in its most diverse manifestations. The idea of the competition is therefore to find an attractive formula for a multifunctional center.

The existing WCK building is in a relatively good technical condition, but the calculations and the conclusion of the structural expert's report urge total replacement of the building substance. It is possible, and even advisable, to radically interfere with the existing building substance, with only the facade being preserved.

The goal of the competition is to select an architectural design for a kindergarten in southern Senegal, a facility that promotes the all-round development of children by providing a safe, stimulating and inclusive environment. The architecture should support the right to education and well-being, provide a space whose functionality goes beyond education, integrates, offers opportunities for play, socialization and exploration, and will serve as a focal point for the entire community.

The organizers are looking for an architectural solution that instills confidence and peace of mind in children, families and the community at large - a welcoming, unique and symbolic environment where every child feels their worth and is supported in their development.

The project should be devised in such a way that it can be implemented through a process of humanitarian intervention and self-build, without qualified personnel and with the direct participation of the community. The facility should be easy to implement using sustainable and self-sustainable construction technologies, use natural and/or recycled materials available in the area to reduce environmental impact, and be integrated into the rural environment. A one-story building with a maximum area of 500 square meters should not cost more than 70 thousand euros.

The design of the kindergarten should include five classrooms, each accommodating about 20 children, space for administrative needs and meetings with parents, an educational play area, a doctor's office, a dining room, a storage room and toilets.

purpose

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

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

The new headquarters of the Wieluń Forest District is to be located on Wojska Polskiego Street in Wieluń.
