Students competition for Bielany retail park green area

Full-time, part-time and post-graduate students of urban, spatial planning and development will be able to design one of three activity centres to be created in the new extension to the Bielany retail park. The so-called ‘green zone’ is to become a spot for meetings, relaxation and various activities, similar to the children and family zone and the relaxation zone. “We would like this place to show our fascination with Wrocław, its unique atmosphere, architecture as well as some of the most important elements of the local landscape, in other words everything that the design of the extended centre alludes to,” says Ewa Kolondra, the director of the Bielany retail park. The competition entrants will create a comprehensive design for the green zone that should be both customer-friendly and inspired by Wrocław. The ‘Inspired by Wrocław’ fan page on Facebook will be a platform for contacts with organisers. Competition entries are to be submitted by May 12th 2014. The winners will be announced on May 17th during the ‘Night of the Museums’ in the Grand Hall of Wrocław City Hall. The initiative will receive funding from the Wrocław city Budget.
