We announce the winner of stage 3 in the CultureFORM category!

The last of the stages of the Tubądzin Design Awards’22 competition has already ended.
We are pleased to present the selected winners in the CultureFORM category.
The last stage confirmed the great involvement of the world of architecture in the design of the culture of a space, which resulted in the submission of twice as many works.

We present the WINNING PROJECT OF THE THIRD STAGE in the category CultureFORM and projects that deserve to be recognized by the Contest Organizer and shown to the world.

WINNING PROJECT
3RD STAGE

„Contemplation space with exhibition function and cafe”


Project author: Aleksandra Sitek, Poland,

Prizes for the winner:

1000 EURO, promotion in the Tubądzin Design Community, a personalised interview in Elle Decoration, publications in the media, promotion on the competition partners’ websites, promotion on the organiser’s social media and international promotion of the winning design.

Project description:
„The project presents the adaptation of the remains of an evangelical church in Wroclaw, abandoned after World War II, dating from around 1853. After a building disaster in 1991, which resulted in the collapse of the roof, the building remains in ruins. The design is inspired by the site’s unusual atmosphere. The view of the open sky and the beauty of the old walls of the former church trigger creativity and encourages reflection and tranquillity. The designed contemplative space uses the potential of the place while respecting its history and climate. It responds to the needs of today’s busy man, nurtures his spiritual state and provides an opportunity to commune with culture, art, and nature. The interiors offer relaxation in the café, contemplation of live musical performances in the exposed area of the former altar, and sensitize the beauty of natural ageing materials. The project includes four floors: – a basement with toilets and storage facilities – a first floor that includes staircases, elevators, an exhibition space with a lounge area, and storage facilities – a floor that is a former church with a café and stage – a terrace on the roof of a chapel attached to the church, designed for relaxation in a green environment, overlooking the nearby Oława River.”
