For over three decades, the Strzeszyn district of Poznań has been the site of a well-designed residential area. A large number of houses, terraced houses and blocks of flats have been built on this „new territory” developed from scratch. More are on the way. However, there are far fewer places for integration, with small architecture serving both previous and new residents. Areas that would enhance the open spaces between buildings and help residents find their way around would serve as spatial reference points in their internal communication. Can the „new territory” be tamed by small interventions in public space? Do you want to take on this challenge with us?
