As a taster for our upcoming Festival of Architecture, a bicycle ride is to take place along the streets of Warsaw two weeks before the conference – on September 8th, 2017.
THE IDEA
The idea behind the bike ride is to stimulate discussion between real estate and construction market players on the future of our cities. As the density of the development in large conurbations such as Warsaw and Kraków increases, residents’ transportation systems and quality of life are impacted. By getting up from out office desks and onto our bikes we will be able see the problems faced by those living in cities in practice. We will then discuss the infrastructural issues as well as the challenges that need to be met by urban planners – and together we will try to come up with conclusions about whether we should be expecting a transport meltdown to take place in a few years’ time, or if instead we will be living in friendly, healthy and attractive cities. The event has been devised to provide everyone with the opportunity to share their views on planning green areas, transport systems, access, walking and cycle paths.
Anyone can participate in the event and everyone who does so will be encouraged to share their views. We would particularly like to invite:
THE PLAN
Important: office clothes are welcome!
A video recording will be made of the event to be viewed during the Festival of Architecture as an introduction to the discussion entitled: ‘Cities of the Future’.
Date: September 8th
Number of participants: app. 25–30 people

City of the future
(Discussion)
Copenhagen was the first European city which, in spite initial opposition, decided to limit road traffic. It was later followed by other cities, such as Vienna and Barcelona. Urban space has been returned to pedestrians. The high streets are busy again, while public transport and cyclists have also benefited. Investment in pedestrian traffic is cheaper for cities than much more costly road infrastructure. Will Polish city centres also follow suit in the future?

Design in the service of ecology
(Presentation)
These days, more design-conscious projects are being developed than ever before. These include green buildings, which are more eco-friendly due, for example, to their reduced water and power consumption. The various building certification systems in existence are being refined and improved, and now evaluate not just a building’s technical parameters and energy efficiency, but – to an increasing degree – whether its interiors have been designed in a human-friendly way. The awareness is growing that interior design is not just a matter of personal taste – and that the shapes, textures and colours used can affect our general well-being. The colour green, for instance, can be used for its calming influence, while angular shapes help to enhance our concentration. High-ceilinged rooms, on the other hand, encourage creativity. What features do you expect in a well-designed bathroom?

Accessible and friendly buildings
(Discussion)
Architectural obstacles for the disabled have always existed and they always will. In the past this problem was ignored, but nowadays the issue is not ‘whether’ but ‘how’? Certain norms now have to be fulfilled by each building, but some companies are going even beyond those. Skanska has adopted an innovative approach – together with the ‘Integration’ foundation it has established a new standard for buildings and audited the accessibility of the majority of its buildings. The Atrium 2 office building has already won the ‘Warsaw Project with no Barriers’ title and its next few projects are also undergoing the process of obtaining the certificate.

Focus on shopping centres
(Discussion)
Each shopping centre must attract as many customers as possible. This goal will only be achieved if its role has been well planned and it is well designed. The customer can be attracted not only by an unlimited range of goods but also by good coffee and cakes or entertainment in the form of a cinema or a bowling alley. Shopping centres serve a city forming role in this way, activating the local community while supplying consumers with the goods they need. What to opt for and how to design a shopping centre for it integrate well with its surroundings and be the centre of attention.

Luxury apartments in atmospheric tenement buildings or flats in a new building?
(Discussion)
Is it worth investing in apartments in old buildings? How to design apartments in such properties that meet the requirements of the most demanding clients? What do such clients expect? What are the pitfalls – and what advantages do they have over new buildings?

Museum boom
(Discussion)
Investment costs for museums are comparable to those of building a modern office facility, but the results reflect the scale of the expenditure. Visitors are now offered something more than just stationary exhibits and a guide. Interactive installations and exhibitions have become the standard, while modern technology has displaced traditional forms of presentation. Museums – a treat for the architects.
