Kreatorium - Student Library Project in Wrocław

The main goal of the project was to create a modern library space primarily dedicated to students and the local community. It is intended to serve as a place for meetings, collaborative work, and study. The name of the facility, “Kreatorium,” suggests that the space is an environment that stimulates imagination and supports the generation of new ideas.

A thoughtful and well-organized student library proposal with a clear concept and good spatial variety. Further development of the environmental qualities and architectural expression could make the project even stronger.

Haptic museum

The Museum of Building Materials is different in that it is open to all people with any disabilities. The level of interaction with the escoponates is high. So even if you don't have the opportunity to see the material, you can touch it, hear it, smell it.

This project fits perfectly into the urban context that is proposed in the competition, offering an interesting volume that develops in height and at the same time creates a public space in his center, which significantly improves the network of free spaces. It also breaks to generate on the ground floor the cornernew connections. The organization of the exhibition spaces in height works brilliantly with natural light and geometry, offering the visitor a downward journey of great interest. We propose to reflect on the length of the visit in relation to the number of floors. How much time can the visitor spend on each of the floors? Could we combine materials? Could we have double heights?

LIBRARY AS LIFE

Learning is not just about information from tangible sources. People can learn a lot from another person or place. Learning is a part of life so designing library is designing life. Our design shapes the topography and creates a public space at the top. This form integrates with the topography on a human scale without frightening people.

One of the few projects to address environmental issues. Could have developed a more interesting core and a structural system to attached or add program around. Loved the phrase "amusement ride of information"
