consideration of the Local Land Use Plan
Natalia Makowska's design takes into account the provisions of the Local Spatial Development Plan, and also refers to the adaptation of the Krystyna Shaft and the adjacent area, developed by the architectural office medusa group. The field analysis carried out made it possible to identify key areas for improvement and determine the optimal form of the complex.

intergenerational integration and sustainable development
"INKLUZILOK," a combination of the words inclusiveness and familok, promotes integration between different age groups and provides equal access for all users and users. Natalia Makowska relied on ecological solutions such as permeable surfaces, rainwater retention basins and urban greenery. These measures minimize the negative effects of urbanization and create a healthy, friendly urban environment that responds to today's environmental challenges and climate change adaptation.

Counteracting depopulation and increasing the attractiveness of post-mining areas
The young architect's concept focuses on creating new jobs and providing recreational spaces, thus counteracting depopulation and attracting new residents and investors. Improving the aesthetics of urban space and increasing biodiversity can improve the quality of life in Bytom, making it a modern, functional and sustainable city.

sustainable and accessible public spaces
Natalia Makowska focuses on creating unified spaces, eliminating architectural barriers and recognizing that a "special need" is a "normal need." One-story buildings with ground-level entrances and customized pathways and interior spaces provide easy access and mobility comfort for all users and users. Toilets meet the requirements of different groups, providing full functionality, including feeding and quieting areas in the form of acoustic cubicles.

"INKLUZILOK" not only proposes modern and functional architectural solutions, but also focuses on cooperation with the local community and counteracting social exclusion. Creating public spaces accessible to all, diversified in terms of functions and the needs of residents, is a step towards building more sustainable and friendly cities.
