Located in the west side of Poland, Poznan is a vibrant town filled with a strong student community and 3 main universities. The international industries located in the city are in constant search for new talents. In this highly industrialized market where companies are providing sold jobs the role of educational institutions is becoming more significant than ever before. Adequate training and in depth knowledge are the keystones for an eye - catching resume that will stand out from the competition. On that basis, my master thesis is aiming at redesigning a viable center of knowledge in the architecture field whilst integrating an attractive urban scene.
Apart from being a hub for knowledge, the new architecture faculty is taking full advantage of its location. The main structures were designed according to the organic paths created by the habitants offering direct view to one of the city’s most important landmarks.
In this way, 2 main forms were created, each one representing a different function in the faculty’s schedule while being in accordance with the exterior topography. The new urban scene integrates a variety of public activities ranging from sports events to sightseeing inviting everyone to participate and be part of it.
