Projects
City Acupuncture
April 2015 – January 2016
Curators: Maciej Hawrylak, Daria Kieżun, Sylwia Sikora
Organiser: SARP Wrocław
More details at: www.wroclaw.sarp.org.pl/pl/akupunktura/
City Acupuncture is a long-term project devised as a means to search for, “puncture” and then recover and “heal” spaces with the necessary potential to stimulate the activeness of local communities. Outcomes of such efforts will be new relationships to be created in the city space, and by that means, developing “spaces for beauty”. The foregoing will particularly apply to the areas which are currently used in a manner precluding their utilisation as social spaces of local nature.
Architects working together with the city of Wroclaw initiated a unique project of an estate made for the needs of a contemporary citizen. It is an beginning of a long-term and repeatable process. The estate was designed using the workshop method, which allows for an analysis, debate and the use of participants’ experiences. The workshops, which lasted for several years, were accompanied by lectures by theoreticians from many domains, as well as public consultations with inhabitants of nearby areas. The idea was to create a total and coherent housing estate equipped with a set of services to fulfil all the inhabitants’ needs: from a service and commercial base, public space, private space, to a community centre
and school. Adjusting space for the needs of particular users is done through housing cooperatives. The project is to become a model housing estate, open to individual demands pf the inhabitants and making their life easier.
2013–2016
www.nowezerniki.pl
The first comprehensive presentation of Wroclaw architecture of the 20th century. The concept of the exhibition is, first of all, to look analytically at the development of the city as a whole, without making distinctions between its German and Polish history, and secondly, to reject the primacy of chronology or typology, which predominates in such expositions. It will be built around a dozen motifs – narrative axes, focused on specific urban and architectural issues, as well as social phenomena within city space.

Organiser: SARP Wrocław
More details at: www.wroclaw.sarp.org.pl/pl/duze_a/
Lectures to be delivered by excellent Polish and foreign architects and urban planners, including workshops with their participation. The main subject matter of this project edition will be the role of culture in the creation of public/private space, perceived as places where attitudes and identities of local communities receive their substance. The cycle has been divided into three panels (Nature – Community – Architecture), each to be devoted to a separate problem and, under the workshop activities, tested in the chosen location.
An exhibition devoted to modernist architecture and urbanism in Lviv from the times of the Second Polish Republic. It will present the most important achievements of Lviv architects – urban development plans as well as selected public and residential buildings, the architecture of the Eastern
Trade Fair, as well as interior design. Lviv will be presented as one of the centres of modernity in The Second Republic. The title – a date of no historical importance – will highlight the fact that the exhibition will be designed from the perspective of everyday lives of the citizens.
September – November 2016
A project making a diagnosis and documenting the architecture of the region. It promotes architectural creation as cultural activity, and it presents a wide spectrum of issues related to creating spatial order. It also includes interdisciplinary events aimed at the widest possible audience. One of
the main assumptions of DoFA is directing the attention of local communities to their surroundings and encouraging them to co-create it. The special 2016 edition will be entitled “A Space for Beauty”.
