The Wrocław Division of the Association of Polish Architects (SARP Wrocław) would like to invite you to a special edition of the BigA project, namely a cycle of lectures and workshops to be delivered by foreign and Polish architects and urban planners of international renown, elaborating upon significant problems of global architecture and studying them on the local basis.
The focal point for the cycle organised as a part of the European Capital of Culture Wrocław 2016 agenda, under the “Spaces for Beauty” programme, will be the role of culture in the creation of public, private, semi-public and semi-private space, comprising places where attitudes and identities of local communities receive their substance.
During the cycle of lectures to be delivered under the NATURE panel, the speakers will reflect upon the key role of nature and efficient utilisation of its resources in the development of a city and the society. The nature present in a city ensures experiences and impressions which define the multi-layered identity of the place. Natural environment defines, complements and humanises the space for living. Solving problems emerging at the point of clash between the human space and the realm of nature adds life to the urban bloodstream and tissue.
