Hello! I am a master’s student, eager to gain valuable experience in architecture. I am interested in an internship, which may be simultaneously conducted within erasmus+ traineeship funds.

born 12/04/1998 based in Eindhoven, Netherlands

MJZ is an international architectural office based in Poland known not only for combing architectural design with a social communication creative agency but also, for its own research institute located at the science and technology park in the city of Opole. I have started in MJZ as a Design Assistant in the branch office located in a tech park in the South of Poland in Opole only later to advance to the Junior Architect position in main headquarter in the capital of the country in Warsaw. Modules, blocks of data with their alterations repetition and smart scattering of elements with their evolution - all this found true use in our assignments in the innovative EU Grant program I had pleasure developing. Parametric design was used not as a decoratie empty gesture but a performative practical mechanism that contains and delivers important data. I could make full use of parametric design skills in the project of a small pavilion to be executed. What is important to stress out is that it would take place in an existing part of the urban tissue. In the times of climate change and dangers that originate from the building industry I found pleasure in using computer aided software to design a less CO2 emissive object that partially would be also constructed from reclaimed and recyclable materials.

Abstract: A transition towards circular building design would substantially reduce the negative ecological impact of buildings on the environment, decreasing the circularity gap of The Netherlands. While attempts have been made to investigate the design process of circular buildings, it remains an under-researched topic relative to other areas of circular architecture. This research recognizes the design process as a tool that allows the reduction of the circularity gap and investigates how the design processes could be changed to accelerate the transition of building design towards a circular economy by 2030. A series of surveys, case studies, and interviews with architects engaged in circular building design has been conducted to identify change areas in the design process.

idea

In Poland, the problem of housing for older people is still treated marginally. The purpose of a project is not only to meet the basic needs of safety and comfort but also to contribute positively to the mental health of its the permanent residents. The key to the project was the creation of a space to stimulate the creation of new neighbourhood ties, for example by coincidental meetings in shared spaces, while respecting the individual’s identity and privacy.It was important to use a soft edge as a „smooth transition”. such as vertical garden, common kitchen, dining room and balconies. In addition, there are spaces open to public like sensory garden on the top level, a restaurant and a mini-gallery in the ground floor.

Two different typologies - medival (vertical) form and modernist (horizontal) blocks The potential of location - water & green

GROUP PROJECT together with Paweł Andruszkiewicz VOLCANO ICELAND COMPETITION

CONCEPT Vast grey surfaces with a rocky structure, interspersed with green mosses and lichens, which in the distance gradually transform into rough, irregular hills. Hverfjall, a high volcano in the form of a tephra cone, stands out among them. This is what the landscape of the Mývatn – region in northern Iceland – looks like. Its features were the inspiration and basis for the concept of TECTOSCAPE, a visitor centre with a coffee shop located at the foot of Hverfjall. The shape of the building imitating parting tectonic plates is buried in the ground at the intersection of the access road and the path leading to the top of the volcano. The oblique, sharp form of the building and the use

of natural and commonly occurring materials in Iceland, such as turf or rammed earth, make TECTOSCAPE fit perfectly into the landscape at the same time referring to Icelandic vernacular architecture. The designed building includes an external exhibition space, landscape stairs, a building with an exhibition, a workshop space, and a coffee shop with a great skylight overlooking the volcano. This makes TECTOSCAPE the perfect place for travellers visiting Hverfjall who want to learn more about the volcano’s history or enjoy a cup of coffee while admiring the impressive volcano and the beautiful landscape of North Iceland.

STRUCTURE The main element of the building’s load-bearing structure is thick and solid rammed earth walls placed along the outline of the building. They ensure a stable building placement in the ground while providing efficient thermal insulation. In turn, to ensure a free and adaptable plan, the structure inside the building is based on reinforced concrete columns. Their main task is to support a vast reinforced concrete slab with a green roof. Due to the sloping shape of the roof and the use of naturally occurring turf, proper thermal insulation from the top and effective water management is provided. The part of the building on the north and east sides has been glazed with the frameless glass system. Roof glazing was also used in the southern part of the building, supported by low iron glass beams.

FORM

CONCEPT Our sun is the universal. All living organisms longed for its warmth and radiance. Not without reason, prehistoric people already treated it as a deity. This life-giving miracle will become a symbol of the alliance between hitherto contradictory concepts of culture and nature. A luminous sphere symbolizing the sun will soon beam light on a church that has been destructed by nature, yet, once was the center of unity, rigidness and beautify. It indicates the center of the life. The theater, hidden under the dome, is home not only to art and entertainment but also to the flora that has inhabited the interior for years. Here, the sun is guided by everyone, no matter if it’s planted on stone walls

In place of the former dome there will be a glass sphere with internal lenses directing the sunlight towards the interior during the day while reflecting the moonlight during the evening hours. The auditorium will be illuminated in the form of a Greek cross, located at the intersection of the nave and the transept. The building will be complemented with a discreet structure of horizontal beams and glass (transparent and opaque parts) inspired by the shutters popular in Italy. This emphasises the character of the building as a romantic ruin, with the only contrasting element being the glass dome towering above it. The carefree character of the Italian Bella Vita is also expressed through the use of freely hanging fabrics as curtains to regulate the external lighting depending on the type of events taking place in the hall. The entire composition strives REUSE ITALY | 2021 | architecture competition | 23

FUNCTION

The building was designed as a multifunctional social and cultural center to the town. A total of 4 zones have been created: the foyer, the auditorium, and two service zones. During cultural events, the foyer will allow the sale of tickets, souvenirs and a checkroom at a counter located under the southern wall, while the northern wall is intended for a bar.

Outside the time of cultural events, the hall will function as a café for residents The service area in the north wing contains the restrooms and utility/ storage rooms for the above functions. Behind the glass wall dividing the main nave, there is an auditorium allowing for free arrangement of space for such purposes as: theatrical performances (classical and experimental), concerts, conferences, film screenings, workshops, exhibitions, but also, for example, physical activities. The staircase upstairs leads to boxes and viewpoints from the windows and terrace. Basic rooms for performers, office, and storerooms are hidden under the ground level.
