        Competition for the development of an architectural concept for the Health Tech Synergy Hub (HTSH) building of the Wrocław University of Technology.

        organizer: Wrocław University of Technology, SARP Wrocław Branch | investor: Wroclaw University of Technology

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

        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.

        purpose

        The purpose of the competition is to obtain the best architectural, spatial, functional-utilitarian, technical and environmentally responsible building concept for the Health Tech Synergy Hub (HTSH) Medical Technology Center building of Wrocław University of Technology, together with land development.

        terms and conditions

        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 monument project should enrich the space surrounding the Collegiate Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Glogow by introducing an element of high artistic value and restoring the memory of the importance of the figure of Boleslaw the Brave for Poland and the city of Glogow. The design of the monument should take into account the location conditions and substantive issues concerning the king, included in the appendices to the competition.

            conditions

            The competition for the design of the monument to Boleslaw Chrobry and the development of the area around it is a one-stage, limited competition.

            The competition is addressed to professional visual artists and architects who have the experience and skills necessary to realize the monument. Participants in the competition can be individuals, legal entities or organizational units without legal personality.

            Due to the proximity of the Gothic temple, the implementation of the monument will require the approval of the conservator of monuments, and the project will take into account the conservation guidelines. The monument will be located in the immediate vicinity of the Glogow Collegiate Church, by the eastern wall of the temple, on the Collegiate Square. The organizers of the competition leave the participants free to shape the form of the monument while maintaining the substantive, spatial and formal conditions. The composition should take into account the placement of a memorial plaque that reads: "BOLESŁAW CHROBRY (967-1025) - THE FIRST KING OF POLAND. ON THE THOUSANDTH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS CORONATION AND IN COMMEMORATION OF HIS STAY IN GŁOGOW CASTLE IN 1010- THE CITIZENS OF GŁOGOW. GŁOGÓW 2025", also written in Braille. The organizers specified the material to be used for the monument - it should be stone or bronze. The total cost of the project cannot exceed the amount of PLN 500,000.

            Competition works must consist of three parts - descriptive, graphic and sculptural. All of them should also be submitted in electronic form.

            Competition for the design of the extension of the existing complex of buildings of the Wielkopolska Oncology Center with the building of Ambulatory Oncology, Prevention, Molecular and Imaging Diagnostics at Garbary Street in Poznań.

            organizer: SARP Poznań Branch | investor: Wielkopolska Oncology Center

            The Association of Polish Architects Poznań Branch, together with the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Wielkopolska Oncology Center, have announced a competition for the design of the WCO's expansion to include a new building for Outpatient Oncology, Prevention, Molecular and Imaging Diagnostics at Garbary Street in Poznań. {More}

            The Association of Polish Architects Poznań Branch, together with the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Wielkopolska Oncology Center , has announced a competition for the design of an expansion of the WCO to include a new building for Outpatient Oncology, Prevention, Molecular and Imaging Diagnostics at Garbary Street in Poznań.

            purpose

            The purpose of the Competition is to obtain the best architectural, spatial and functional-utility concept for the extension of the existing building complex of the Wielkopolska Oncology Center with the building of Ambulatory Oncology, Prophylaxis, Molecular and Imaging Diagnostics at Garbary Street in Poznan together with the development of the area around the designed building. The organizers of the competition expect participants to submit projects that meet the needs of modern oncological medicine, with a particular emphasis on the treatment of children. The facility is ultimately intended to become the main center for oncological treatment using advanced radiation therapy technologies in Wielkopolska and the whole country. The proposed concepts should express the aspiration of the Wielkopolska Oncology Center to be a pioneer in radiotherapy treatment and scientific research in oncology.

            terms and conditions

            The competition is a one-stage and implementation competition.

            The designed facility is to be divided into 7 blocks organized according to the functions they perform. Blocks are planned to serve technical and teaching functions, pediatric and adult oncology, storage and archival functions, skin oncology prevention, dosimetry and treatment planning, genetics and radiobiology, and the Department of Epidemiology and Prevention with a cancer registry.

            Internalcommunication should separate the movement of healthy patients, patients undergoing treatment and children as much as possible. The building should also meet high accessibility standards for people with mobility disabilities. The facility should be designed to be compatible with sustainable development.

            Due to the splitting of the buildings belonging to the Wielkopolska Oncology Center into several objects, located on two sides of Garbary Street and the planned parking lot deep inside the plot 3/14, the possibility of internal communication between the separated parts should be ensured. It is assumed that an aboveground, enclosed connector will be designed through Garbary Street, which will allow a functional and communicational connection with the existing buildings of the Wielkopolska Oncology Center. Due to the proximity of the historic St. Francis Seraphim Church at 22 Garbary Street, the planned connector should have a neutral, light and transparent form,

            The plots of land intended for the project area are located within the historical buildings of Poznań under conservation supervision, therefore all solutions introduced at the stage of design and construction of the building, the scope of works, program, methods and technologies, materials planned to be used should be agreed with the Municipal Conservator of Monuments. As you can read in the conservation findings, the form of the building, including the connector, should harmonize with the existing buildings, both historical and modern.

            For more information , see the factual appendices.

            The Białołęka District Office of the Capital City of Warsaw has announced an architectural and urban planning competition for the development of an architectural and land use concept for an educational complex in Zielona Białołęka. The competition is recommended by SARP.

            purpose

            The purpose of the competition, as we read in the regulations, is to select the best architectural concept for the school, which should be inviting, designed to stimulate children's imagination and respond to progress, as well as include environmentally friendly solutions. The solutions adopted should remain in accordance with the Architectural and Functional Standards for Elementary Schools and School-Preschool Complexes of the City of Warsaw.

            Educational spaces should be flexible, multifunctional. When designing a school, it is important to keep in mind the possibility of using part of the building and outdoor areas after working hours for the benefit of the local community. Communication and recreational spaces inside and outside the building should provide opportunities for both larger groups and separation from the crowd, facilitated, for example, by recesses, arrangement of space under the stairs, etc. It's also good to think about greater openness, glazing between halls and circulation spaces. The building can also serve an educational function, exposing elements of infrastructure, construction.
            It is important to pay attention to details, aesthetics, architectural education and the environment, as well as low operating costs. An important consideration is to improve the quality of educational conditions by ensuring high standards of learning for students with special needs.
            The competition is to determine the best architectural concept in terms of visual, utilitarian and economic aspects.

            terms and conditions

            The competition is conducted in a limited, one-stage competition procedure.


            The competition task is to create an architectural concept of an elementary school building with accompanying infrastructure in Zielona Białołęka, Sieczna Street, Warsaw. The designed building will serve educational purposes for students without and with various disabilities. The entire building is to consist of 24 branches for students in grades I-VIII; 8 special branches with back rooms and therapy rooms (to be located in a separate wing of the school to ensure quiet during both lessons and breaks); accompanying field facilities.


            The building should be functionally divided into the following parts: administration, teaching block for children attending the mainstream divisions, teaching block for children attending the special divisions, canteen with kitchen facilities and dining room, sports hall with the necessary locker room and sanitary facilities, along with storage facilities for sports equipment (the part of the building where the sports hall will be located is also planned for small sports events and group meetings).


            All educational classrooms, cafeteria, sanitary facilities, locker rooms and administration should be designed without architectural barriers to ensure free access for people with different types of disabilities.


            The building should be designed as low-carbon (preferred: zero-carbon), with the use of RES. It is possible to realize a building with a maximum height of 12 m - three overground floors and one underground floor. Colors on the facade of the building should be subdued. It is possible to use plants on the walls of the building, when selecting plants and related design solutions, however, it should be remembered that the cost of their maintenance should not be too high. The following should be located in the free area: a biodiversity zone, areas with recreational, leisure and educational functions, playgrounds, plazas and access and parking areas.

                  Schools for Palestine

                  organizer: Archstorming, Wallah We Can

                  International platform Archstorming and NGO Wallah We Can have announced a competition to design innovative mobile schools for Palestine that, if ordered to be demolished, can be easily relocated and reassembled in another location.
                  International platform Archstorming and NGO Wallah We Can have launched a competition to design innovative mobile schools for Palestine that, if ordered to be demolished, can be easily relocated and reassembled in another location.

                  purpose

                  The goal of the competition is to meet the urgent need for educational space in the West Bank. The mobile schools are intended to be an emergency response to the demolition of more facilities in the region and provide children with a sense of stability and normalcy in conflict zones.

                  conditions

                  The mobile schools, constructed of lightweight materials, are to offer quick deployment to different locations as needed to minimize disruption to the educational process.

                  The school is to be located in the village of Khan Al Ahmar, located in Area C of the West Bank (60% of Area C is under Israeli control). It lacks basic services such as electricity, water and education, and residents recycle all materials into ones that can be used to create living spaces, the most common materials used in their homes being corrugated panels, wood (usually pallets), fabric, tanks and wheels.

                  The plot of land for the project is located on the slope of the western part of the village. It is 34 meters wide and 55 meters long. The design of the mobile school should be flexible and allow changing the function of individual spaces as needed. It should include four large classrooms that can be divided into two/three, a multipurpose room, office space, sanitary facilities, a medical room, an outdoor playground and rest areas.

                  The school's structure should be lightweight, portable and created from locally sourced materials. The modularity of the solution and the use of prefabricated elements has the potential to significantly speed up the construction process and ensure its consistency, as well as allow for easy expansion or reduction in size if necessary. Given the high temperatures often experienced in the region, it is important that the structure be able to withstand extreme heat. It is also important to think about the future - structures should be adaptable from temporary to permanent solutions.

                  Participation in the competition is open to architects and design students from around the world. Projects can be submitted individually or in teams of up to four participants.

                  The registration fee is respectively:
                  • during early registration: €70 + VAT

                        Competition for the development of an architectural concept for the reconstruction and extension of the complex of the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław

                        organizer: Museum of Architecture in Wrocław, SARP Wrocław Branch

                        The Museum of Architecture in Wrocław and the Association of Polish Architects, Wrocław Branch, have announced a competition to develop an architectural concept for the reconstruction and expansion of the museum complex at 7 Bernardyńska Street .

                        The Museum of Architecture in Wrocław and the Association of Polish Architects, Wrocław Branch, have announced a competition to develop an architectural concept for the reconstruction and expansion of the museum complex at 7 Bernardyńska Street.

                        purpose

                        The purpose of the competition is to obtain the best architectural, spatial and functional-utility concept for the reconstruction and expansion of the Museum of Architecture complex in Wroclaw, together with the development of the area. The project should take into account the needs of a contemporary and unique in the country museum institution and the specific requirements resulting from the specificity of its premises - the complex of buildings of the former Bernardine monastery and the former church of St. Bernard of Siena, built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries.

                        terms and conditions

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

                        Within the Bernardine complex, the location of a visitor zone - a public zone and permanent and temporary exhibitions with related functions is to be envisaged. The new building, on the other hand, is to be located on the south side, to house, among other things, the building archive, reading room and exhibition preparation zone.

                        The division of the Museum of Architecture into two facilities requires the creation of a vertical communication and service node within the post-Bernardine complex to the necessary extent required to service this part of the complex. One of the tasks of the competition is to determine its optimal architectural solution, given a number of cubic and preservation constraints.

                        Within the scope of the competition concept, a proposed path for visiting the permanent exhibition, including the attic of the former church, should be presented. The concept should include user-friendly solutions for all users, including those with limitations. The design task should include full technical modernization of the museum complex in terms of installation, and acoustic comfort of the designed communication and utility interiors should be ensured.

The total area of the competition study is nearly 2.7 hectares.

                                  According to the competition assumptions, it is necessary, among other things, to emphasize the axial layout of Długie Ogrody Street, propose a spectrum of functionality for the street as a public space, take into account the annual St. Dominic's Fair, give priority to pedestrian transportation, preserve between 20% and 30% of the existing parking spaces, when reconstructing the avenue of trees, take into account the historical context, referring to the layout depicted on the Buhse Plan, assume a significant increase in biologically active space and introduce species resistant to urban conditions.

                                    "Lighting fixture for busbar" competition

                                    organizer: Polish Lighting Industry Association

                                    The Polish Lighting Industry Association, in cooperation with the studios Goczołowie Architekci Studio Autorskie and OVO Grąbczewscy Architekci, as well as the SOMA agency, the organizer of the ŚWIATŁO International Fair in Warsaw, has announced a design competition - "Lighting fixture for busbar".

                                    ThePolish Lighting Industry Association, in cooperation with the studios Goczołowie Architekci Studio Autorskie and OVO Grąbczewscy Architekci, as well as the SOMA agency, organizer of the ŚWIATŁO International Fair in Warsaw, has announced a design competition - "Lighting fixture for busbar".

                                    purpose

                                    The purpose of the competition is to design a lighting fixture for a 230VAC three-circuit busbar. Busbars are technical elements accompanying lighting that allow for dynamic changes: the position of the luminaire can be changed, and light sources can be added or subtracted depending on the needs and situation.

                                    The jury expects unconventional design solutions for luminaires or entire lighting systems, which will become a complement to the architecture of interiors of different character and purpose. The designer should take into account not only the visual effect, impression and lighting function, but also the safety of use related to the distribution of light flux and electrical power. The design requires a general explanation of the principle of construction and operation.

                                    terms and conditions

                                    The competition is an open, international and one-stage competition. It is directed to people associated with architecture, art, design, and all fields of art. The competition is open to both individuals and teams. Competition entries must be own works, not previously published anywhere, not the subject of any other competition, and unencumbered by legal defects or claims of third parties.
                                    The competition task is to design a luminaire for a busbar (TEAR family of busbars from the KANLUX range). The focus should be on the design of the luminaire itself for power supply using an existing TEAR-type adapter (for 230VAC mains power supply) or publicly available DC power supplies built into the rail adapter (in-track driver for integrated LED luminaires).
                                    The luminaire can have a replaceable or non-replaceable light source. It can be decorative or designed for specialized purposes. The competition proposal should take into account the type of room and determine the function of the lighting, and then design a luminaire that fits formally and functionally into the chosen spatial and functional situation.
                                    The project should go beyond the limits of typical thinking about the construction and design of lighting fixtures and the possibilities of illuminating surfaces, spaces and objects in different types of interiors.
                                    A very important aspect of the design is the actual feasibility of the design, so that it offers the possibility of producing a prototype series. The preferred material is sheet metal.
