CATA­LYST OF URBAN DEVE­LO­P­MENT

As the first faci­li­ty, archi­tec­tu­re and land­scape archi­tec­tu­re take on the task of set­ting stan­dards. In the exte­ri­or space, this means defi­ning the canon of design ele­ments (such as the edge of the river bank, the lower Vis­tu­la ter­race, the Vis­tu­la slo­pe, the Vis­tu­la pro­me­na­de, the park of the upper Vis­tu­la ter­race, the bou­le­vard Wybre­ze Kosci­usz­kow­skie) in such a way that it pro­ves sus­tainable and deve­lo­pa­ble in the future, from the cita­del in the north of the city to Ujaz­dow­ski Park in the south.

STRA­TEGY AND CON­CEPT

The importance of the site and the timing of the over­all con­cept for the Vis­tu­la embank­ment requi­re a spe­cial stra­tegy, which con­sists of two core com­pon­ents:

(1) Adap­ta­bi­li­ty

(2) The deve­lo­p­ment of a faci­li­ty, which on the one hand car­ri­es the abili­ty to initi­al­ly play as the sole acti­va­tor at this loca­ti­on on the Vis­tu­la bank, but on the other hand has the inte­gra­ti­on power to later find its pur­po­se as one of seve­ral acti­va­tors on the Vis­tu­la bank.

(3) Exem­pla­ry cha­rac­ter

(4) Loca­ted in front of the sil­hou­et­te of the Old Town from the east, the buil­ding and its exte­ri­or open up a new era of urban deve­lo­p­ment. This is the deve­lo­p­ment of the Vis­tu­la for the city and its inha­bi­tants.
