p r o j e c t . 0 2 rehearsal room for musicians semester II | 2010/2011 asny k square | poznaĹ&#x201E; teacher: arch. k. skalska poznaĹ&#x201E; university of technology department of architecture asny k square is located in architecturally interesting neighborhood, which is unfortunately filled with low standard of social life. lack of meeting spaces for people, both indoor and outdoor, results in relatively low safety level . the area - mostly at night - is filled with either drunk or agressive people, especially between 15 and 30 years old. the idea of project.02 is based on working with two layers. first layer is square surface, slightly bended upwards, on which a playground for kids has been made. its form introduces a bit of theatricalness into childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities, being the only hill in the whole neighborhood. the second layer is rehearsal room for musicians, or actually a set of rooms located under asny k square. spanning over 40 square meters, this layer contains rooms with piano, drum set, and two smaller rooms for meeting with friends.

giant modular grid , upon which project.02 is based on, was created with arcs and not concentric circles. it fill the place with dynamic emotions and provokes to spend the time with vivid activitie s. some of the moduls ha d been designed with a function. in front of the rehearsal room modules transformed into benches and staircases. on the playground for kids - on the other hand - they became not only benches, but also sandpits and slides, taking advantage of the slope. another important elements are skylights placed nearby sandpits, which are subtly pouring rays of light into rooms below.

the form of project.02 is subtly emerging from the squareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface and propose a new direction of this area - creativity in the widest sense

interior of rehearsal room set is also based on the modular grid, making inside more connected to outside. bended walls are made to move obser ver into another dimension, to take him out of perpendicular wallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; monotony and propose to him fresh, architecturally unique point of view. a musician starts his experience with the interior by entering rehearsal room ser through huge, slide doors made out of glass. he enters the tunnel, which is prepared out of elliptical segments. their size decreases while going further inside. at the end of the tunnel there is a small buffet with cold drinks and a single room for the staff. entrances to each rehearsal room can be found alongside the walls. ever y single room has been adapted to the needs of disabled people. it was accomplished by creating ramps with low-degree slope in the tunnel and into the rooms . the whole interior is made out of bended wood, painted white. inside each room, on the other hand, white panels with perforation had beed installed, increasing accoustic parameters.

high, glass doors, placed in the entrances to the rooms, are additional inspiration for the musicians, keeping them visually all the time with unique form of the tunnel. section bb

an inspiration for the form of project.02 was sand worm: mythical creature, living in deep sands of planet arrakis, from frank herbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x161;duneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; segments of his heavy armour, which in so expressive way slided on sand dunes, were a base idea for the tunnel inside rehearsal room set for musicians

elliptical segments of the tunnel are based on golden section and overlap each other

tunnel bends slightly towards one side. this makes a r ythm, which leads obser ver inside

entrances to the rooms were made simply by cutting sides of the segments and drawing them aside

that’s kindergarten! nurser y school for 3 groups semester IV | 2011/2012 dąbrówka | 5km from poznań teacher: arch. p. bartosik poznań university of technology department of architecture nurser y school in dąbrówka was as interesting, as r esponsible from the ver y beginning. tr ying to design edcation facility indicated a slight change of approach: now the need was to tr y view the world, particularily rooms and furniture, from the perspective of 4-years old children... and to keep in mind how fast and chaotic they can be. the design begun with evoking emotions of 4-years old children, whose interests and ‚plans’ can differ during the day realy fast. there are although activities, that are universal each day, despite summer ’s hot sun or winter ’s snow: running, rolling down the slope, riding a bike or simply paying something.

the not but tion tion play

form of this nurser y school is strong only in the topographic point of view, - most of all - lies strongly in percepof dąbrówka citizens. smoot h transifrom plain into quasi-hill evokes wish of not only in kids, but also in their parents.

that’s kindergarten! is based on a circle, which implies equality between children and adults, making in the same timean active space for social and sport meetings, which surrounds children from ever y side. placement of group - rooms is dictated by sunlight in the morning.

ground plan

key element of this nurser y school is green roof. it was made especially for children, which are always happy to join games on the hill, where grass works as a shock-absorber

entrance to the roof is combined with and outdoor courtyard, which is in the center of the whole design. courtyard can be easily reached from ever y group - room and from inner f oyer. it is a common space, which gives an extremely exotic view - taking into consideration the form itself - but in the same way provides security.

the facade was made out of concrete slabs, which are not only holding the green roof, but are also creating r ythm, which can be a key elemen t in children games. it invites also adult to come and explore this complex form. while going further from the entrance, people are heading towards the place, where the roof meets with the ground.

m a r c i n e k student integration house BA thesis | 2013/2014 śwmarcin/piekary | poznań teacher: dr hab. inż. arch. ewa pruszewicz-sipińska, prof. nadzw. PUT poznań poznań university of tech. department of architecture Św. Marcin and Piekary street crossing is truly a curious place. It is here where historical sacrum and modern profanum meet. It is also here where two major axes ends - those of Św. Marcin and Marcinkowski Avenue. It is here where history put next to each other medieval church and shopping mall with its facade - literally - warping space around itself. It is here where kebab on the corner saved the night for many people, and it is finally here, where the dream of Piekary Cross-City Line turned into one of the most peculiar urban form: a parking lot. This place, however - despite series of destabilizing factors is filled with potencial hidden on multiple levels. Memory of Św. Marcin filled with joy, urban-cultural identity of the church, or the story of non-existing corner building - invites us to begin the dialog, to look for possible intervention.
