This year’s Architecture and Construction Festival will be focused on issues related to cities and the functioning of the commercial buildings that adorn them. It will also attempt to answer the question of where the people of the future will be living, working and resting. Experts and panellists will also discuss the possibilities for combining modern technology with what we know about human nature.
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 7th, 2018.
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, their inhabitants’ public transport systems and quality of life are impacted. But by getting away from our office desks and onto our bikes, we will be able see the actual problems faced by those living in cities. We will then discuss the infrastructural issues as well as the challenges that need to be met by urban planners – and together will try to come up with conclusions about whether a transport meltdown is on the cards 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 as well as access, walking and cycle paths.
This year we will be focusing on the problems of the city’s Wola district, which has been experiencing a construction boom as residential and office projects spring up across it. Wola’s whole character is being reshaped. But will it eventually be a friendly place for local residents and office users? We will discuss Wola’s future during and after the bike ride.
Anyone can participate in the event and everyone who does so will be encouraged to share their views. This year we invite people who work in Wola, residents and enthusiasts of this district and local government officials to participate.
THE PLAN

– The two or three starting points will be located near selected office buildings. Those participating will receive maps of the route

– En route the participants will stop at few places and discuss the architecture and space they encounter
– At the end of the ride a meeting will be held with representatives of the city of Warsaw and Wola district
– Comments and conclusions from the ride will then be discussed in an informal atmosphere
Length of the route: about 5 km

It’s nicer without them
(Discussion)
Billboards, banners, posters and meshes on buildings, large-format posters, illegal advertisements –most Polish cities are blighted by a deluge of advertising. Those who campaign for a more aesthetic approach and that actually succeed in this can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The landscape law, which has been in force since 2015, was supposed to provide the solution for this kind of visual chaos, but it actually didn’t change things much. Maybe coherent and well thought-out visual identification is the answer? And what else could be done to reduce the amount of unsightly advertising hoardings in Polish cities?

The city-forming role of real estate
(Discussion)
Improving the attractiveness of public space, influencing its development and re-energising urban life – these are now regarded as the prerequisites of a modern commercial development. However, in order to achieve this you need to be receptive to both the local environment and the kind of high-quality architecture that takes into account the needs of people and their comfort as building users. Such large projects cannot just be business enterprises. They must also have a wider, city-forming dimension.

Innovations for healthy light
(Presentation)
ES-SYSTEM’s product assortment includes luminaires equipped with CIRCADIAN technology, which supports the circadian rhythm of human activity and is consistent with the idea of Human Centric Lighting (HCL). CIRCADIAN is a very technologically advanced lighting control system that not only changes the color temperature of light, but also has an actual influence on the processes of melatonin suppression and release occurring in the human body. Luminaires with the CIRCADIAN system closely mimic the spectrum of sunlight, which is why they can have a real impact on people and harmonize with their circadian rhythm.

Experimental construction
(Discussion)
Houses printed using 3D technology. Wooden skyscrapers. Towers overgrown with vegetation... this is not the set of a science fiction film, but examples of how the construction sector could operate in the future. As with container and floating houses, replacing traditional commercial buildings with ‘earthscrapers’ could perhaps turn out to be the perfect remedy for the shrinking land resources in cities.

Under a common roof
(Discussion)
How do designers approach the layout of common areas in commercial buildings? How do they reconcile the arrangement of co-working spaces, the catering space and the rest zones with the actual expectations of their users? How do people function in public areas and what can be done to make them feel good when using them?

It will involve explanations of all the terminology related to BIM and an introduction to the design, execution and management processes it offers for the development and construction sectors. It will also cover issues related to how businesses can prepare to the integrate BIM with their own operations. Along with outlining the best approach to take, it will also point out the pitfalls that need to be avoided in its implementation. The initial phase of BIM, when architects and other designers are particularly involved in the process, will be discussed in detail. A presentation will also be given on one of the author's own projects that was designed and brought into being using the BIM method.
