2. Architectural Solutions 2.1 The Site: Augustówka, a neighborhood in the Mokotów district of Warsaw is the site for the thesis project. In the recent past there have been proposals in the bordering neighborhood, Siekierki, to add things such as a technology park. In 2005 said proposal was made and ultimately rejected by the planning committee for not following the municipality s city guidelines (Wojtczuk, 2009). This, however was not the first time that a park was proposed to be designed in the Siekierki neighborhood. In 1916 there was a plan to build the Great National Park which would eventually become an Olympic village. Figure 22 shows the location and proposal for the park which is directly west of the location of the site.
