On September 10 this year, the online voting for the Audience Award of the competition "Innovative Solutions for Railway Car Interiors Supporting the Mobility of Persons with Disabilities" ended. The competition was organized for first- and second-level students of the Faculty of Architecture at Poznan University of Technology. The largest number of votes and thus the first place was awarded to the house project by Piotr Marciniak and Nina Olga Zdanowicz. Congratulations!
The competition task was to develop a concept for the interiors of two compartments (including a compartment adapted for people with disabilities) of a passenger carriage, which were to present the best functional and aesthetic solutions.
The work was evaluated by a jury composed of: Arkadiusz Kawa, Bartłomiej Mikosz, Mikołaj Grzyb, Agata Bonenberg, Agata Gawlak and Ewa Angoneze-Grela.
On June 28, 2023, the results of the competition were announced. Three prizes and two honorable mentions were awarded. We wrote about the result of the competition in the article Results of the competition "Innovative solutions for the interiors of railroad carriages to support the mobility of people with disabilities".
