Residencias estudiantiles Praga, en Varsovia

Abstract

The project is based on the SAINT-GOBAIN international competition in its 17th edition which takes place in the capital of Poland, Warsaw. The objective is to design the revitalization of the area located next to the Warszawa train station, through a combination of residential and social activation functions, taking into account the above, the project is mainly focused on the revitalization of an old tinplate factory, changing its use and thus turning it into a cultural center, The main purpose of the project is to connect the new buildings with the old ones, so that the community in general can make use of it. The project also includes student residences focused on sustainability and developing an architectural program that meets the basic needs of the student population. The project also has a public space that is used as a connection to the place. All this is accomplished through 3 specific objectives that will be developed during the project, taking into account the characteristics of the immediate context and the bioclimatic.
