New social housing in Sielce: Remodeling of an avant-garde Szpiegowo building in Warsaw
Miklušová, Tereza ; Sikorski, Michal (referee) ; Mielczarek, Zuzanna Irena (advisor)
The aim of my master thesis was a reconstruction of the so-called Szpiegowo in Warsaw, which was built in the 1970s by Janusz Nowak and Piotr Sembrat as a residential complex for Russian diplomats. For the last 20 years the place was uninhabited and slowly falling into disrepair, but after the Russian invasion of Ukraine the city finally managed to reclaim the building and they are planning renovate it. My intention for the remodelling was to design housing for students and creatives based on analyses of the neighbo hood and the current housing situation in Warsaw. The design also includes the revitalization of the outdoor spaces and the important connection of the complex with its surroundings, since nowadays the whole building is fenced off and completely cut off from the neighborhood. In addition, thanks to some additional functions that will be accessible for everyone, the place will become more vivid and will have the potential to become a new local centre for the residents of Sielce and new users.

Social Housing for Young Adults in Kielce, Poland
Teriyapirom, Arisa ; Janicka, Dominika (referee) ; Mielczarek, Zuzanna Irena (advisor)
Social Housing for Young Adults in Kielce, Poland is a diploma project that focuses on the revitalization of an abandoned university building, art gallery and synagogue into an affordable social housing complex that integrates various forms of social spaces and social activities. The crisis in the housing market and the economic situation has left many young adults struggling to afford rent, or being able to only afford places that are in poor condition and thus they return to their hometown ore move to smaller cities, in order to avoid the extremely high rental prices. Good housing is a necessity, especially for young adults, as they are in a period of transition to adulthood, and requires a proper place to call home. In addition, the project also focuses on a young adult’s life as a whole, this means revitalization of spaces to support a co-working environment, as this is becoming increasingly popular and beneficial to young adults who are working remotely or in non-traditional careers. It also means designing a social space outside the housing block, to give a sense of separation between personal and social life. In this project, the university building is redesigned into social housing, co-living environment, art gallery for canteen, and synagogue for co-working space. The three buildings all come together to create an inclusive, conducive, comfortable, playful environment for young adults in Kielce.
