production -object being born

hibe rna te;

According to my research about waste management in Mexico City, the daily production of garbage equals around 12,800 tonnes, which are being disposed in three landfills. Only 12-20% (according to different sources) of the garbage is being recycled. In this proposal I am trying to find a way of dealing with this problem, not only by mechanical solutions (designing a recycling facility) but also by the mental change - bringing the trash issue to the gentrified center of the city to make it visible for the whole society, and creating the “object exchange center”, which stands for a link between the city and recycling facility. My target users are Pepenadores trash pickers, a big community (over quarter a million people in Mexico City, very often living inside the waste plants) who make a living out of collecting and sorting garbage. In terms of spatial solutions, the project combines recycling centre with housing for it’s workers.

The given four storey structure, timber frame is divided into eight different sections responsible for sorting and recycling materials: paper, glass, plastic, aluminum, organic waste, e-waste, fabric, wood. The part of the building facing the street contains of small manufactures (workshops), in which Pepenadores can rework, repair and sell particular goods. The solid parts of the building can be build with the usage of recycled elements from the facility.

Waste:land is a manifesto, an attempt to define our relationship with objects - production, use, reuse and finally recycling particular elements, spaces, objects. Production of goods is growing along with economic growth and the mankind is slowly forced to face it’s material and social consequences: flowing amounts of garbage in our cities and rapidly growing consuptionist lifestyle. How to rise the awareness about this processes?

the line individual academic project, 2018 Studio Venice The project is a part of Liechtenstein’s contribution to the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018. It’s a response to the main theme of Biennale (Freespace) and to the given by studio concept of The Line. Within the semester our group was exploring the remoteness of Liechtenstein’s territories walking along the arbitrary line of approximate lenght of 12 km. Each student designed an intervention within the landscsape of the line with a use of the given material (wooden sticks). The results of the project were delivered through an exhibition at Palazzo Trevisan degli Ulivi in Venice during Biennale opening’s weekend. The project is a result of my understanding of the Freespace as a notion, acknowledged in the physical, pragmatic way as a dimension of air and water filling the gaps between the solid mass (of mountains, ground). All of the remaining objects, like elements of nature as well as man-made interventions, float within the Freespace with the certain dose of randomness. The Line goes across this entropy capturing different landscapes, climates and architectural forms. The order stands in the opposition to the randomness. My research carried out along the line helped me to gather a collection of different systems tracing lines within the space. Each of them characterized by different function (as a sign of property, indicator, sign) each of them containing an additional layer of information, marked by color, form, graver. A summary of those two conceptions made me think of a line as a medium between the randomness and the order.

Based on the linear movement, I have developed the strict, repetitive intervention appearing each one kilometer in twelve different, random landscapes (river, city, forest, the garden of a prince, field, mountains etc.) In a case study, separately, each intervention could be considered as a part of the entropy; in the macro scale, they work together as a system representing the Line within the Freespace. Simplified, ascetic form is stripped from an additional informative layer. A rectangular section indicates the direction of the line with its longer side. Nine out of thirteen built objects can still be seen within the landscape. Remaining four could not be placed according to coordinates due to terrain inaccessibility and land ownership issues. Conceptual extended scenario implies expansion of the order creating the spatial three-dimensionall grid growing from the line.

Swietochlowice, Poland

individual academic project, 2016 (bachelor project) supervised by arch. Jerzy Wojewodka contact: architektwojewodka@gmail.com Silesian Metropolis is an association of 14 cities in the southern Poland. From the method they are connected in a formal and aerial way they are considered as a one big, spread city. It is hard to tell when one city stops and another one starts while driving through them; the only thing that helps while trying to guess the location are the landmarks - towers, the leftovers after a heavy industry on which each of the mentioned 14 cities was founded. The kind of towers varies depending on the industry located in a particular town - ironworks, coal mines, factories. Times are changing and coal is no longer a main source of energy, which caused closing of most works. How to keep the recognizable landmarks and make them a part of the recultivation process? The main goal in this project is to design a tower for the slowly transforming city - to change the orientation from the industry to green; to help recultivate it.

tourist information

„Lapidarium is a place (a town square, a courtyard in a castle, a patio in a museum), where fragments of retrieved stones, parts of buildings and sculptures are stored. It could be a piece of a torso or a hand, remains of a cornice or a column -- in short things comprising a (already or still) non-existent entity which has no obvious use.“

green atrium

- from „Lapidarium“ by Ryszard Kapuscinski, polish journalist and writer. The civilisation growth and the expansion of the new technologies causes a huge impact on everyday society‘s life. The solutions and objects used by people for years are being replaced with it‘s new, more efficient versions. We should develop, learn, think forward but we cannot forget the past - what shaped our characters, way of seeing the world, what gave us the education and made us who we are. We wouldn‘t be the same without our heritage, even if it seems to be no longer needed. The easiest way to keep the memories is to share them with the others. Let me walk you around Lapidarium. Kapuscinski‘s words became an inspiration in the process of the urban gallery/hostel‘s design in the center of Katowice, Poland. Simple orthogonal form closes the urban quatier. The form is attached to the exsisting historical building, where the entrance is located. All of the fuctions are concentrated around the heart Lapidarium that can also be seen from the street level.

The Ark

scenario

eVolo competition project in colaboration with Julia Slopnicka, Agata Goik and Bartosz Kobylakiewicz, 2015 My role: research, writing the scenario, preparing the schemes and illustrations. A project based on scenario of upcoming inevitable ecological apocalypse. The level of the air, water and soil pollution on the Earth is so big that it is too late to try the short-term solutions. The only way to stop the inevitable catastrophy is try to cure the planet in a complex way, using the cutting-edge technologies. For that time people have to be transported to the alternative environment to prevent the harmful influences caused by the pollution. We do not ignore what has to be left behind. We do opposite - we take actions in order to save our natural and cultural heritage which requires to be repaired. As our planet is already in a very bad shape, we try not to affect it more than necessary. That‘s why we are taking the adventage from the renovable energy sources but also from the pollutants collected from the soil, air and water. The raw, external form of the Ark stands in contrast with it‘s organic green heart. The whole concept is a self-sufficient unit containing all of the necessary living functions inspired by E. Howards‘s Green City - the utopian idea of the city.

how does it work?

minimal -gelände Kolbermoor, Germany conceptual project made at leupold brown goldbach architekten office, Munich, 2017/2018 contact: leupold@lbgo.de My role: analysis, conceptual stage, model making, CAD drawings (all included illustrations are made by me). Minimalgelände is located in the alpine city Kolbermoor, on the verge of two city zones - old town and the Alte Spinnerei (former industrial area). The zones differ by the buildings scales and functions, proposed form acts like a knot/loop linking the areas. Minimalgelände keeps the scale of the surrounding aligning with the side buildings. Solid mass from the north and east side blocks the noise coming from the railway and the warehouse. Wide stairs located on the south part of the building opens it up towards the Academy emphasizing the quality space in front of it and leading the visitor to the green courtyard. According to the client‘s needs we divided the building into two parts - retail/offices in the ground floor and 1st floor, housing in the upper levels. Conceptual plan layout consists of the solid ground floor retail spaces plus living units and offices organized around the green courtyard. schwarzplan
