I am a young architect looking for a job or an internship in an architectural office. I made a BSc. in Architecture and Urban Planning at Warsaw University of Technology. During my studies I made a few projects like a single-family house, a housing complex or swimming baths. I had a chance to get some skills about sustainable architecture, a performance aided design and the acoustic analysis. During my studies I also had an internship of a building registration in an open-air museum and an internship in an architectural office where I got some experience in a project documentation in AutoCAD.

Sustainable architecture - a mixed-use zero-energy housing complex The project tried to answer the question of how to provide indoor privacy and outdoor private spaces in a dense urban context while at the same time providing good common paths and spaces for common activities and daily life. It takes close considerations concerning climate, sun, and daylight to provide apartments with fine daylight qualities and good indoor climate while at the same time reducing the need for supplied energy. Detailing modern dwellings takes considerations of modern family life and the use of modern technology and appliances.

The aim was to design a retreat for a biologist that wants to work remote from society and close to nature for some weeks or a few months in order to contemplate and concentrate, eventually seeking inspiration from nature. Therefore the shape of a cell is a dominant motive in the interior. It appears in the furniture and also as a wooden decoration of the fireplace. The retreat encompasses a cabin with a gross area 40 m2 and a wind-sheltered terrace with a horizontal area of 3 x 5 meters for work and outdoor residence. The cabin has low energy consumption and the opportunity to place a 1 x 2-meter working table with adequate diffuse light. In order to achieve this, a few renewable energy solutions were introduced to the project: a solar roof and a rainwater collector.

The aim was to design a concept of an urban development that would revitalize a devastated part of the city. The project assumed replacing the majority of devastated post-industrial buildings with the new housing complexes. Moreover, the building was planned to be mixed-use which means introducing more shops, small restaurants, and other services. There are a few public buildings which were planned to be raised in this area. These are a school, a church, a town hall, and a community center. However, the project assumed to remain some old precious buildings like the reinforced concrete structure raised by Maciej Nowicki, a famous Polish civil engineer. His famous stadium is planned to be adapted to the market hall. In addition, more green areas are planned to be introduced to this area. These are a park in the northern part of the area but also some green areas in the streets and squares both public and semi-private.

Swimming baths, Podskarbiล ska, Warsaw, Poland Student individual project Author: Maria Aleksandra Santorowska Year: 2015 Location: Grochรณw, Warszawa, Poland
Visualisation: swimming baths, interior 20

Visualisation: swimming baths, interior, foyer The purpose was to design a complex of swimming baths, together with a wellness in Grochów which is one of the districts in Warsaw. The site was quite unusual and that demanded the building to have a non-standard shape. It was decided to place all the swimming bath complex on the Eastern side in order to get an overlook to some green areas and therefore the entrance and all the facilities were placed on the West. That enables the access directly from the road. The swimming bath part of the building has a glass elevation whereas the facility part has an elevation made from a perforated stainless steel. The swimming bath’s hall structure consists of wooden frames.

The aim of the tectonic studies and experimentation was to design the mobile library which consists of the plywood shelves filled with books, acoustic panels and voids. The library system configuration was developed in order to create the most suitable acoustic conditions in order to maximize the sound pressure level (SPL) in the library space. At the same time, the pattern on the acoustic panel was being developed in order to maximize the scattering coefficient. The library system consist of 2 spaces: one is used for isolation (1) the other for interaction (2). The sound pressure level around the library was measured during a few acoustic simulations. The sound source was located right next to the isolation space in order to simulate the worst case scenario. Following those experiments the library configuration was being changed. However I have not managed to reduce the sound pressure level in the isolation space as in case of the final configuration it is still quite high between 45 and 55 dB. The acoustic panel design is based on a composition of ellipses engraved in the stock material. The ellipses are spreading in a radial way. Their center is situated in the intersection of a half of the longer side of the stock material and the quarter of the shorter side of it. The ellipses depths and its lengths are correlated reversley. The shorter the ellipse’s side is the deeper the milled hole is.
