ARCHITECTURAL APRIL-MAY DRAWINGS AND MODELS OF THE NEW

WARSAW th INVESTMENTS 10 EDITION

Exhibition under auspices of the President of Warsaw LECH KACZY¡SKI

Catalogue published thanks to support of Warsaw Capital City Office

The most important plan of Warsaw development is „The Study on Conditions and Ways of the Warsaw Spatial Management”, which is almost accomplished. This document contains all decisions envisioning the shape of Warsaw in next 25 years. The city will develop dynamically. It is assumed that Warsaw population will increase to 2.5 – 3 million people. That means that Warsaw population will almost double. It is assumed, that during these years areas designated for services will increase by 1100 hectares. Dwelling buildings land will increase by 9 500 hectares and communication sites will increase by 300 hectares. How the „new Warsaw” can be perceived? Surely as a city that will become a metropolis significant in Europe. It will also be a dynamic capital city stimulating social and economical development of the country and it's metropolitan area with 6 – 6 millions of dwellers. Above all the capital has to become a city that is „friendly for inhabitants”. A place where one can live in convenient conditions appropriate to the contemporary times. A place where time can be spent pleasantly, where one can easily commute. Where public services can address inhabitant's needs. A city with cosy places and big-city downtown. What to do to carry out these aims? Above all the quality of the urban public areas must be improved for they are the visiting card of every developed area. The design of the restoration of the one of the most beautiful streets in Warsaw – the Krakowskie PrzedmieÊcie St – came into real. This street is going to be changed from the road traffic crowded street into the street mostly for pedestrians – both, Warsaw dwellers and numerous tourists. The street where one can calmly and freely watches many precious historic sites. The next step that was taken is the spatial management plan of the Pi∏sudskiego Square. The plan that will ensure the recover of the square's spatial harmony that is the closing of the Western frontage. Some existing, incidentally constructed investments in the square's surroundings can not be changed, but in my opinion the restoration of the western frontage of the square will eventually restore the part of it's spatial picture quality. Similar solutions were prepared for other Warsaw squares such as: • Trzech Krzy˝y, which though partially has a chance to change to pedestrian area enriched in numerous cafes, shops and restaurants; • Teatralny Square where today's open-air parking will be replaced by underground garage. That solution will allow to gain outside foyer before the biggest theatre in the capital city; • Konstytucji Square where the closedown of the open-air parking and vehicular traffic reorganization is planned. It will allow building a service complex located under square's floor. The complex will be connected with the underground station in the Wilcza St area; • on the Powstaƒców Warszawy Square the closedown of the open-air parking and opening of the square's floor for the pedestrians is planned. The spatial management plan of the Culture and Science Palace surroundings is being created. This place waited quite long to become valuable spatial and functional area. It is planned to concentrate there not only office and trade services but also building complexes with cultural functions. Perhaps the Museum of the Contemporary Art will be located here. It is possible that the concert halls or musical theatre will accompany the museum. A new square that will be replaced with today's Defilad Square will be a place for mass events. Here concerts, shows and New Year's Eve open air parties will be hold. There is a lot of plans. All the time local spatial management plans are being draw up. There are 112 plans enacted in Warsaw at the moment. Next 32 plans are draw up in accordance with the act from 7th of July 1994. 7 624.95 hectares of the city area are covered with the spatial management plans. It is about 15% of Warsaw. Resolutions to make up 44 plans were passed at the moment in accordance with a new Act from 27th of March 2003. These new plans cover about 10% of the city that is 5 200 hectares. It is planned that local spatial management plans will cover 80% of the city in few next years.

City area – 516 900 hectares Urbanized area – 243 220 hectares Potential reserve for constructions – 10 423 hectares Area included by the l.s.m.p. on 31st of January 2005, 112 plans, 7 625 hectares, 15%. Resolutions to draw up l.s.m.p. 44 plans, 5 200 hectares, 10%.

A significant number of building conditions decisions and a planning permissions were given to the investors. Total number of 7 219 motions about the building conditions were received till the end of year 2004. 4 539 decisions were given and next 2 507 motions are in advanced progress of proceedings. From total number of 9 510 motions about the building permissions 8 190 decisions were given and another 1 094 motions are in the progress of proceedings. It shows that Warsaw is still developing. How? I think that the best answer to this question one can find in the designs presented at this exhibition.

Chief City Architect Micha∏ Borowski It is the tenth edition of the "Plans for the Future. Architectural Drawings and Models of the New Warsaw Investments" exhibition organized by the ¸OWICKA Center, the cultural institution.

The idea arose ten years ago. First edition, in 1996 was modest. We exhibited about 50 designs in the clip frames. At that moment our gallery room was adequate place for such exposition. First exhibit had no catalogue. At the beginning there was only "Plans for the Future" section. During the following years we have added another sections, such as Spatial Management Plans, Old-New, Detached Houses. Tenth edition is also extended. This time we are presenting Urban Space and the winners' designs of the Chopin Center, Wiecha Passage and Dmowskiego Roundabout architectural competitions.

But our exhibition is not just and only designs and visions of the professionals. For 2 years our exhibition is accompanied by competitions organized for the architecture students. For them it is a great opportunity to express themselves freely and creatively, and to face the difficult problems of Warsaw architecture and urban planning. This years' catalogue contains winners' designs of the last year student competition.

"Plans for the future" exhibition and its catalogue became peculiar guide to Warsaw investments. It is a document illustrating city development in the past ten years, and, what makes us specially glad, a discussion forum. ARCHITEKTURA-murator monthly and Warsaw department of the Association of the Architects of the Republic of Poland organized debates on the Warsaw problems - does the capital city need the City Architect (now we know it does) and the future of the Wilanów district and Defilad Square.

The Defilad Square issues were raised many times during the exhibition. Current Warsaw authorities are trying with new energy to solve the urgent problem of the Culture and Science Palace's surroundings development. Everybody is impatiently waiting for the results of their activities. Lowicka Center will gladly present the designs of the investments that will change this huge space into modern city center.

Over 600 designs that we have exhibited in 10 years period are first of all the presentation of the Polish architectural thought and its development. We have no aspirations to pass professional judgement. We want to stir up discussions in the circle of architects and decision-makers and encourage Warsaw dwellers to take part in it.

Toned down, blend in with the background; draw on from the architecture of the beginning of the 1930s. The inherent features of this architecture were sandstone, round corners and gates. It will be a high standard apartment building with services located on the ground floor. It will have 7 storeys (8 locally) and two-leveled underground parking. Although building's height is significant it will harmoniously blend in the surroundings. This height is a compromise between client's wishes and conditions imposed by the neighborhood. Apartment building is surrounded with both five- storeyed tenement buildings, and multi-storeyed „prefabricated concrete”. It has a S letter shape. This shape allows to dismember the mass from Pu∏awska Street. The building looks like it was made of 3 different parts. This form allows also to catch the significant amount of sunlight and to open it on the greenery at the back side. The opening in the central part of the building will serve as the entrance for the occupants. The central part of the building will be covered by white plaster. The flank wings of the building will have the stone slabs facing characteristic for the 1930s. BACK ELEVATION

Two-family house, smaller part could be used as a office or space to let. The form of the house is adapted to the specificity of the building lot. The building is separated from the noise of the road. It has scenic openings to the S-SW direction. It is one building containing two houses. The house refers to the original idea of housing. To the half-closed courtyards of the farms. House's form is simplified what makes it modern. Traditional details are maximally reduced. It gives the simplicity of form. Elevations are the reflections of the interior arrangement. The openings are subordinate to their functions. The house was designed in the traditional technology with the use of the recycled materials like stone, granite sett and clinker brick. The essential designing objective was to set the building into beautiful GROUND FLOOR landscape.

92 Design assumptions A house for young family. We designed it as non-schematic space for people of traditional needs. We have programmed the contradictions and the client took that risk. Our building is a clash of opposites – the high, economical main mass with facade partly made of stone and the complicated garage with facade made of veneered panels. Two-storeyed space with dining room and chimney is a heart of the house. Inside, there are communicational footbridges that are suspended between sleeping rooms located in both masses. Inside, one can't feel the close presence of two buildings. All large windows are to the southeast. Windows open to the forest garden. There is a pine forest at the end of the building lot. The entrance hall will be glazed and one will see forest through it. GROUND FLOOR

93 NOT REDESINGNED PART OF THE BUILDING Design assumptions Because of the different architectural styles of the surrounding buildings we decided not to refer to any of the „local” styles. We have emphasized this building by the contrast clarity. Designed mass has ambiguous, organic geometry and elevation made from unusual material – the high quality laminate. Inside the building there is two- storeyed entrance hall, which is library at the same time. Large skylight is providing daylight to the whole structure. At the top of the building there is additional room. It could be an atelier or home theatre. Building has one underground storey where home recording studio of perfect technical parameters can be build. 1. HALL – 4,5 m2 2. HALL – 17 m2 3. TOILET – 4,5 m2 4. TERRACE – 25 m2 GROUND FLOOR

STUDY OF CONDITIONS AND DIRECTIONS OF THE SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE WARSAW CAPITAL CITY By Chief City Architect Bureau and City Spatial Planning and Development Strategy Office

Study of conditions and directions of the spatial development of the Warsaw Capital City was based on Spatial Management and Planning Act from 27th of March 2003. This study determines spatial development policy for the administrative district of the city of Warsaw. Fragmentary local planning is taken into consideration. The President of the Warsaw Capital City will check the compatibility of the local spatial development plans with the city's spatial policy. Today we are presenting only the outline of the document.

SPATIAL STRUCTURE City's spatial structure was planned with Urban area – characterized by substantial awareness of city's zones in order to protect diversification of the functions, conditions characteristic features of individual zone. of buildings and their surroundings. This The need to protect the characteristic types is an area dominated by housing estates of the development was the main reason and small business and services. It needs of isolating these areas. restructuring and modernizing activities. The following division was made: Suburbs area – these are outside areas City center area – the central area of War- of the city dominated by single-family saw. Except dwelling houses it also con- houses and agricultural lands.. centrates buildings with public, regional, national and international functions. The Study determines main trends of chan- ges and transformations. It also determi- nes priority areas that will be transformed as first. According to the Study the following elements shape the spatial structure of Warsaw: • city center • districts centers • local centers • mulitifunctional centers • main public spaces • public greenery

The Study proposes roads and streets layout based on the encircle-radial model. It means that basic layout routes, express routes and main routes of the fast traffic are providing exterior connections for the center of Warsaw with its conurbation and domestic roads. City center area and central area are encircled by ring roads. This kind of road system will protect highly urbanized areas against unnecessary traffic. The Study proposes realization as follows: • express roads providing efficient connections with the exterior roads; these roads will create the City Center Ring Road running on the outskirts of the urbanized areas, • the eastern closing of the Downtown Ring Road, • interdistrict ring roads and bridge routes bypassing central and heavy urbanized areas, like Northern Bridge Route, • streets layout serving investment areas. At the same time the Study proposes to change the character of the city center streets and include them in the public space, they can directly serve.

108 PUBLIC TRANSPORT

The Study anticipates that public transport should ensure effective and comfortable connections inside the city and Warsaw conurbation. Its development will be relaying on the track transport. High priority has been given to the integration of the track systems of the public transport: • rail transport - it needs infrastructure and rolling stock modernization, • development of the underground lines system, • very well developed tram lines system, mostly separated from the street traffic.

Integration of the above mentioned systems requires efficient traffic junctions. Bus transport will service areas without track transport and carry passengers to railroad, underground and tram junctions.

The Study shows the areas where many-sided activities will bring the improvement of the urban spatial development standard, including public space. Between these areas there are postindustrial lands that need functional and spatial transformations. The Study shows the agrarian lands as developing lands in the suburbs area. In the urban conditions they no longer comply with the economical requirements. Also some wooden lands that were prewar building lots now are included in the developing area. Depending on its location the developing areas have their fundamental destinations: • city center areas, • areas of services with different intensity development, • areas of housing development with different intensity.

THE PROTECTION OF THE NATIONAL HERITAGE

The protection of the Warsaw historical identity is one of the main goals of the future spatial development policy. This protection is heading to: • preservation of the valuable culture heritage areas, • emphasizing of the culturally and historically essential structures and areas, • stopping the negative processes of the degradation of the historical buildings and counteracting against negative changes in the culture valuable areas.

To reach the above aims the Study describes: • areas and structures under conservator's protection because of their cultural values, • the rules of the protection of the historical and cultural values of these areas and structures.

Our design consists of three parts: Saski Palace with its central location, Bruhla Palace surrounded – reconstruction of the main body of the Palace with the annexes that flank court d'honeur and the by Wierzbowa and Fredry Streets and by Saski Garden and new building located along Królewska entrance gate; Street. Each building is a different design but together they form the western frontage of the Pi∏sudski – reconstruction of the courtyards' masses dimensions and their proportions in accordance with Square. historical documentation; SASKI PALACE – reconstruction of the Brühl Palaces' front elevation in accordance with historical documentation; Our design assumption was the reconstruction of the original architectural form of the Saski Palace – reconstruction of the building at the Fredro Street side in accordance with historical documentation; at the Pi∏sudski Square side and at the Saski Garden side. Reconstruction of the Palaces' outside mass – reconstruction of the courtyard annexes' interior elevations in accordance with historical documentation. and reconstruction of the elevation at the Pi∏sudski Square side is based on the archive materials. The As it is not necessary to reconstruct elevations at the Saski Garden side and fragment of the elevation fragment of the colonnade of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is integrated with the reconstructed at the Fredro Street side in the historical form, we have designed them as modern.

In the parts of the Saski Palace adjoining the square in front of the ancient colonnade we have located the "Way to Freedom" Museum illustrating historical events and eminent commanders. Underneath the squares' floor we want to build a cellar with crypts and exhibition space. The colonnade was designed in a special way. The present architectural form of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was made a "permanent ruin". It is a symbol of the WWII and the main point of the "saska axis". In our design we have proposed to fill the missing colonnade between Palaces' wings with the colonnade made of the last generation "architectural glass".

124 EQUAL PRIZE

ARCHITECTS Staniszkis-Architekt Magdalena Staniszkis COLLABORATION Mateusz Herbst, Marta Wroceƒska STRUCTURAL CONSULTATIONS Krzysztof Guraj VISUALIZATIONS Marek Ziarkowski

Equal prize winner was awarded for: – solving (in the plan) the northwest quarter in the way that gives relatively best spatial connection between streets (lengthened Widok and Poznaƒska Streets) and row of promenades reached by the triangular square; – different character of public interiors.

”Warsaw is almost deprived of traditional character of the city. We are searching for solutions that will let us feel we are in real city city. The roundabouts' shape creates identity of this place. The perfect solution was to create in its area a flower bed, individual CITY SIGN that informs that Warsaw is a city full of greenery. There is traditional building development around the flower bed. Buildings are up to 30 m high. They have hotel and service functions. Pulled back from the crossroad squares create the friendly atmosphere of the traditional city in human scale.

In my design there are four buildings located at four corners. They show that this is a crossroad not a square. That's why it should not be designed in the integral way. One of the design's assumption is that Cepelia pavilion, Metropol Hotel, Uniwersal building, Rotund and Novotel Hotel do not comply with the character of the place. These buildings should be demolished.

Metropol and Novotel Hotel should develop and enrich their functions. These are my propositions: – Cepelia pavilion demolition, conversion and extension of the Metropol Hotel and new service passage creation; the similar programme at the Novotel Hotel area will shape the space of the small square at the end of the Parkingowa Street. – Universal and Rotund buildings will be demolished. A small piazetta should be located there, as a spirit of the Rotund that will preserve tradition of place of meetings and will form connection between Wiecha Passage and Marsza∏kowska Street and Jerozolimskie Avenues, – location of the triangular square (people will quickly exit the underground station and enter the public space) and traditional form tenement house with narrow courtyards at the Palace of Science and Culture side, in its lower levels there will be the shopping and service center and on the upper levels there will be flats and an apartment, – second square is located at the Jerozolimskie Avenues side – this is a entrance square to the ÂródmieÊcie commuter train station; both squares are connected and separated by small loggia. To increase the prestige of this special place of Warsaw our design Roundabout Dmowski introduces the greenery (trees, low plants, plant elevations) and small architectural forms (floors, bus and trams shelters, street lamps).” 125 EQUAL PRIZE

ARCHITECTS APA Kury∏owicz & Associates Ltd. Stefan Kury∏owicz, Pawe∏ Grodziski, Marcin Goncikowski, Tomasz Olszewski

Equal prize winner was awarded for: – original design of the public square based on the crossroads with information and city promotion functions, – the diversity of the public areas character; – an attempt to connect the present and designed rows of streets and promenades of the northwest quarter area.

„Marsza∏kowska Street and Jerozolimskie Avenues crossroad is the central point of the city. Its present spatial character is dominated by the transit traffic. Our spatial solution of the crossroad base on the development of the public city square; it has to be a missing, central element connecting the most intensively used areas of Warsaw.

Square's area is parallel to the Jerozolimskie Avenues axis and Marsza∏kowska Street axis. The frontages that will be minimum 25 m high and maximum 30 m high will shape the square. Their lower storeys will have the arcades. Services will be accessible from the pavement level (the important solution is to keep uniform design of the elevations).

The square has rectangular shape (around 140x120 m). In its southern part corrected junction of the traffic arteries divides it. In the northern part we have enlarged the public area of the pavement level. Buildings that are adjoining it have 14 m high overhangs that are covering square's end. We have located there as follows:

the eastern side of the square: – City Promotion Center, transparent exhibit rotund (rebuilding of today's PKO Rotund), there will be double spiral ramps that will be the connection of the pavement level with the passages located on the -1 level. On the overhangs located at the rotund side must be situated an information screen (45x15 m).

the western side of the square: – the shopping center entrances will be located on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd storey, they will be transparent and they will allow to look inside the shopping center and down on the -1 level; from there will be also a view on the triangular square located in the center of the complex; this central part will be the space of services; the gardens are the greenery annexes located on the storeys destined for services.” Dmowski Roundabout Dmowski

126 EQUAL PRIZE

Equal prize winner was awarded for: – gaining the city interior in the crossroads area; – separating two different small interiors; these are potential places of meetings (the amphitheatre, the square replacing the Rotund building); – best communication solutions of the crossroads (bus stops grouped at the underground station and ÂródmieÊcie commuter train station side; separated bus lanes). ARCHITECTS Zdzis∏aw Joƒca, Marek Koz∏owski, Micha∏ Joƒca The crossroads of the Jerozolimskie Avenues and Marsza∏kowska COLLABORATING ARCHITECTS Street should have a new spatial format. We want to narrow the Sebastian Ba∏ut, Jan Strumi∏∏o space around the crossroads and gain by that the city character of COMMUNICATION the surroundings and economical profit. Because it is planned to Krzysztof Pog∏ód reduce the traffic on this crossroads we decided to change its shape from the roundabout to the crossroads with segregated traffic directions. The gained space we are using to continue the frontages of the streets. Today's traffic junction was moved on the northwest corner. The tram stops were connected by subways and by the zebra crossings at the Marsza∏kowska Street. This area is characterized by the large pedestrians traffic that's why we have connected the 0 and -1 levels by the amphitheatre that allows change levels easily. Buildings that we have designed in this area have the commerce, service and administrative character. The central point of the whole complex is the exhibit building located over the empty space and amphitheatric descent. The amphitheatric descent allows enter the underground station, commuter train station, the passage leading to the Central Station and the passage leading to Âwi´tokrzyska Street. Our proposition is to eliminate the Rotund building. A square that is the ending of the Wiech Passage we have located in this place. It is a place of meetings and rest. The Square of Rotund is closed to the north by advertising surface located at the ending of the Central Department Stores and by new building replacing the Zodiak building. We have also completely changed the architecture of the Universal office building. The Metropol Hotel will be replaced by new office building with shopping arcade. A new building with bridge structure that will be the Jerozolimskie Roundabout Dmowski Avenues frontage we have located at the southeast corner. It will have the exhibit functions. Forum Hotel we have left in today's shape. Only its ground floor was redesigned. 127 FIRST CLASS HONORABLE MENTION

Its shape allows for maximum opening to the western fronton of the Ostrogscy Palace at the Ordynacka Street side. Its mass was shaped as three parts: full base (Anasiƒski tenement house), upper storeys with a cornice crowning a wall at the +23.60 ordinate and most transparent last storey. Upper structure modules are repeated by elevation and are the result of the reconstructed tenement house elevations' partitions. Vertical rhythms are adequate to the surroundings. Elevation at the Palaces' side is transparent and screened by the preserved trees. SURROUNDINGS Buildings' surroundings remain unchanged. Squares area between Palace and the building is also unchanged. We have introduced a line of sandstone in the floor before the building. The trees that are in front of the Centre are one of the values that define place's identity. They are characteristic vertical rhythms of the surroundings. The building has three entrances.

Architecture students: URBAN PUMP Marcin Iwaszkiewicz and Piotr Person FIRST PRIZE

Our design works as pump that sucks pedestrians in from the ground level, especially those who are exiting underground station. It takes them up to the height that guarantees vast view on the city. It unfolds then and gently goes down to the Saski Garden direction. Our pump is an attempt to introduce the art into daily life. It refers to the prewar tradition of the urban salons when a walk was strictly connected with the aesthetic experiences and commune with art. The core of the gallery that goes along the plots' axis is the main exhibit space. It is connecting remaining buildings, which were designed as office and trade architectural structures. Such solution gives a chance to bring world of art and business together.
