In this project, students were tasked with revitalising an underutilised area of Krakow, namely Grzegórzki district, then, design a public service building for the neighbourhood. I choose to do a nursing home.
As with all projects, we started by analysing the site. Here are just some of of the maps that i specifically made.
After analysing and sketching possible solutions this urban layout, this is the layout my group came up with. I was responsible for the right most part.

The unqiue challenges of this project
One of the biggest challenges with this site, was the different axis, from the main axis of the old railway, with the other dominant axis of the main arterial roads going parallel.
