Pnp 2010-LR1-Ang.Pdf For 15 years, the ‘Plans for the Future’ exhibition has been providing us an opportunity for broad and prospective look at Warsaw and has induced a reflection of the ways of its spatial development. This year exhibition gathered together the large number of various projects and designs. We can admire them within the modern space of the Warsaw University Library. This original gallery encourages for the multidimensional and sometimes fierce discussion about our city. Year after year, more people become involved in it, proving the necessity of such event. For years the ‘Plans for the Future’ architectural exhibition has been attracting the conscious audience, the dynamically developing community of the European metropolis, that cares about the city’s future look, spatial development, identity, quality, aesthetics, accessibility, public safety and comfort of living. I would like to warmly invite everyone for a ‘city walk’ with the vision of the present-day and the future Warsaw. Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz Mayor of the City of Warsaw Through the 15 years, since we have prepared the first edition of the ‘Plans for the Future. Architectural Drawings and Models of the New Warsaw Constructions’ exhibition it has been becoming the biggest annual review of architectural designs in Warsaw, and an event that takes place in the meeting calendar of architects and residents of our capital. It is the record of architectural development in the ever-changing city. As usual our exhibition is divided into the sections. The first of it is dedicated to the architectural competitions for the Museum of Polish History and Museum of Polish Army in Warsaw Citadel and the EUROPAN 10 (a biennial competition for young architects, Polish edition subject was the ‘Transformation of the street into the living heart of neighbourhood’ – revitalization of the Wileńska St. area). The increasing role of regions, rivalry for tourists and new investors influenced the interest of the quality of public space. Today the new public space is often a way for promotion of the local history and becomes the indispensable element of attractive and competitive city. That is why the ‘Urban Space’ section is so important for our event. This year we are presenting the spatial development plans for Konstruktorska, Ryżowa, Bracka, Szpitalna and Rydygiera Streets, and river’s left bank boulevards, and the revitalization of parks located in Warsaw and Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki. Except the office buildings the ‘Public buildings’ section shows new hospitals, hotels, preschools, community centres, sports facilities and many others. Extremely interesting are designs comprising the ‘Single-family houses’ section which shows bold visions using the latest materials and technologies. The ‘Concept’ section contains designs that propably will never come into existence and that is why I suggest looking at them closer. Our completely new proposition this year is the ‘MA dissertations’ section showing the chosen MA dissertations of students of the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology. The architecture creates the city aesthetics. Hundreds of buildings that have been completed in Warsaw during the last decade and that have been shown on our exhibition prove that this was a good time for the city. On behalf of me and all of those who have prepared it I invite you to enjoy our exhibition. Katarzyna Hagmajer Director of ŁOWICKA Centre 6 An international architectural competition for a design of the Museum of Polish History in Warsaw, conducted under the patronage of Mr. Bogdan Zdrojewski – Minister of Culture and National Heritage of Poland and under the auspices of the International Union of Architects UIA and Union of Polish Architects SARP.

The Museum, designed as a bridge, jumps over the Trasa Lazienkowska expressway, reunites the segments of the historical escarpment, and restores the continuity of the Ujazdowski and Lennona streets. The contiguity of the Museum Forum with the parvis of the Ujazdowski Castle - Centre of Contemporary Art - creates a place where the memory of the past meets the events of the present and future. The Forum takes shape as a covered path, which crosses the building from south to north, as an interface between the served and servant spaces of the Museum. Its opening times, could be independent from those of the Museum. The Forum is open to everyone. Its audience hall, multimedia centre, book and museum shops, newsagent, bar, cafeteria and restaurant, are equally open to promenaders on the Aleja na Skarpie, and Ujazdow street, as well as to visi- tors and staff of the Ujazdowski Castle. The support services, the workshops and laboratories, are contained on the first floor, with filtered access from the Forum. They are sheltered, as a garden, receiving natural light and ventilation from the planted open patios. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT DURING THE SECOND PHASE HAS BEEN TO: Cover Trasa Lazienkowska between the Museum and the Plac na Rozdrozu. Eextend the axis Stanislawowska from the Castle and Museum Places to the Aleje Ujazdowskie. Lay out on the Castle segment of the axis Stanislawowska, a serpentine path within a 12 m. strip, flanked by a bicycle path. Its edges are planted with ornamental grasses and perennials in meadow-like associations. Place a grand civic lawn over the expressway, to lie in the sun, to walk in the snow, related to Kensington gardens in London, Luxembourg gardens in Paris and Topkapi gardens. Open the ceiling of the exhibition galleries to the northern blue sky, cool and constant, and protect it by screens, which cut the direct sun radiation from the south and adjust the daylight to season, and to exhibit. Their back-side is covered by photoelectric panels, facing south, which contribute, with their 3.000 m2 of total surface, to the general energy balance of the museum complex. Insulate thermally and screen radiatively the gallery with a facade of three sheets of glass, containing on the inside a 10 cm. cavity of cells either empty or filled with translucent inert aerogel silica beads, and in the outside cavity a radiatively selective coating. FIRST PRIZE Place on the inside of the façade a double layer of rolled, soft screens of specific density or deployment, to offer sensitive modulation of the natural light.

  • They Fought for Independent Poland
    2019 Special edition PISMO CODZIENNE Independence Day, November 11, 2019 FREE AGAIN! THEY FOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENT POLAND Dear Readers, The day of November 11 – the National Independence Day – is not accidentally associated with the Polish military uni- form, its symbolism and traditions. Polish soldiers on almost all World War I fronts “threw on the pyre their lives’ fate.” When the Polish occupiers were drown- ing in disasters and revolutions, white- and-red flags were fluttering on Polish streets to mark Poland’s independence. The Republic of Poland was back on the map of Europe, although this was only the beginning of the battle for its bor- ders. Józef Piłsudski in his first order to the united Polish Army shared his feeling of joy with his soldiers: “I’m taking com- mand of you, Soldiers, at the time when the heart of every Pole is beating stron- O God! Thou who from on high ger and faster, when the children of our land have seen the sun of freedom in all its Hurls thine arrows at the defenders of the nation, glory.” He never promised them any bat- We beseech Thee, through this heap of bones! tle laurels or well-merited rest, though. On the contrary – he appealed to them Let the sun shine on us, at least in death! for even greater effort in their service May the daylight shine forth from heaven’s bright portals! for Poland. And they never let him down Let us be seen - as we die! when in 1920 Poland had to defend not only its own sovereignty, but also entire Europe against flooding bolshevism.

Stanisław Peszyński was an associate of two successive Government Delegates for Poland: Minister Jan Piekałkiewicz (murdered by the Germans in June 1943) and Deputy Prime Minister Jan Stanisław Jankowski (arrested by the Soviet security services in March 1945, tried in the Moscow trial of the leaders of the Polish Underground State, and probably murdered in a Soviet prison in 1953), as well as head of the Control Section in the Delegation. He was in fact the chairman of the Supreme Chamber of Control (NIK) in the Polish Underground State. He was shot by the Germans on 6 August 1944. The plaque was unveiled by Deputy President of the Institute of National Remembrance Mateusz Szpytma, Ph.D., and the NIK’s President Marian Banaś. Before the ceremony, the IPN's 'History Point' Educational Center at 21/25 Marszałkowska Street hosted a meeting during which Professor Grzegorz Nowik, head of the Polish Scouting Association, talked about Stanisław Peszyński, and Professor Jacek Sawicki from the IPN’s Historical Research Office recalled what had happened in Warsaw on 5 and 6 August 1944. The participants also discussed the cooperation between the IPN and the NIK.

  • The Foundation Stone for the Polish History Museum Was Laid
    The foundation stone for the Polish History Museum was laid. Warsaw Ghetto Museum congratulates. The map of Warsaw museums is completed. With the participation of state and self- government authorities, clergy and directors of the museums, there was a ceremony of laying an erection act for the construction of the permanent seat of the Museum of Polish History in the Warsaw Citadel. President Andrzej Duda in a solemn letter, read by the Undersecretary of State in the Chancellery Office of the President of the Republic of Poland, Wojciech Kolarski, wrote that the citadel for 80 years filled the hearts of Poles with fear. It was a symbol of slavery and terror. And he added that only now we are faced with the chance that this space, once ominous and then overlooked, would play an important and positive role in the consciousness of Poles. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki reminded that it was Poles who gave a huge tribute of blood on all fronts of World War II, creating „the world’s largest underground state”, fighting for „freedom, dignity and humanity”. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Culture Piotr Gliński assessed that „there is no nation without memory”. „The wise nation nurtures this memory through institutions. Today, we are actually starting to build such an institution, building a monument of our history. For the implementation of the largest and unprecedented project in the field of museology in the history of our homeland and devoted to those times.” The tube inbuilt in the foundations of the museum contains circulation coins and banknotes, commemorative coins and banknotes of the National Bank of Poland, a copy of the Thursday edition of „Rzeczpospolita” daily as well as films and photos presenting the current state of the museum construction recorded on a USB stick.
