SUMMARY:International Biennale of Architecture Krakow 2019 // including 3 competitions
DESCRIPTION:City of Krakow and the Association of Polish Architects Krakow Branch cordially invite to take part in the International Biennale of Architecture in Krakow\, whose next edition (MBA Kraków 2019) shall take part on the 8th-9th October 2019 at the ICE Congress Centre. \nBiennale is an event taking place since the year 1985. The title of this year’s edition of the Biennale is “CONNECTIONS ­— The Town and the River“. \n  \n \n  \nAs the role of the historic European city centres changes\, from an industrial base to a recreational\, cultural and educational role\, the situation of the urban rivers changes as well. It is also the case of Kraków\, whose architecture is an important part of the historic heritage and the Old Town is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Vistula River running through Kraków\, was once the central artery of transportation for the urban economy. That has changed. The river now gives the city a major recreational quality\, with calm waters and green banks. Could this relationship between the city and its river now be reinterpreted\, be given a stronger connection\, a boost with new facilities\, some new life and new functions\, a new significance for the whole urban environment? \n  \nThe Old Town of Kraków is still dominated by the mighty Wawel castle\, towering over the river banks. North of the Wawel hill\, the town centre\, with the grand public space Rynek as its centre-point\, is contained within the boundaries of the old fortifications. This area\, Planty\, was turned into a lush urban park in the early 19th century. When this encircling park reaches the north side of Wawel and it is close to the river\, for some reason it misses the connection. Could this area along the northern bend of the river\, next to the castle\, be ‘the missing link’ for the town\, where the Old Town could meet the new recreational resources of the river and the historic significance of the castle? Could this area\, between Planty and Vistula River\, be where the 13 million annual visitors to the city could find new and exciting facilities\, and where inhabitants could have an experience completing the urban narrative? \n  \nThis area\, squeezed in between the Old Town\, the castle and the river\, may give an opportunity to find some answers – through the uses of urban design\, architecture and design – to some of the challenges that are raised. For new decades\, with growing concerns for the environmental balance\, with more frequent river flooding and also more emphasis on green and blue recreation\, the connection between the town and the Vistula River could challenge a new generation of architects and designers to rethink their roles in historic urban development. \n  \nAs part of the MBA Kraków 2019\, three competitions have been planned: \n1) Competition A – architectural and urban competition \n2) Competition B – seminar competition \n3) Competition C – multimedia competition \nThe sum of prizes amounts to 140 000 PLN. \n  \nAll professionals\, graduates\, students\, and scholars in such disciplines as: architecture\, urban planning\, photography\, history\, history of art\, cultural heritage\, urban studies\, sociology\, anthropology\, urban transport\, as well as tourism\, natural history\, or geography\, are especially invited to participate in the competitions. \n  \nThe works in their respective categories shall be assessed by a 7-person Jury\, made up of architects and urban planners: \n– Peter Butenschøn\, Curator of the MBA Kraków 2019\, Jury President\, architect and city planner\, Oslo \n– Oana Bogdan\, Founding Partner Bogdan & Van Broeck\, Brussels \n– Lennart Grut\, Senior Partner Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners\, London \n– Jan Kleihues\, Founding Partner Kleihues + Kleihues\, Berlin \n– Wojciech Małecki (Reporting Judge)\, Founding Partner Biuro Projektowe Małeccy\, Poland \n– Ewa Kuryłowicz\, Vice President Kuryłowicz & Associates\, Poland \n– Marta Sękulska-Wrońska\, Partner WXCA\, Poland \n  \nOrganisational structure of the MBA Kraków 2019 is as follows: \n– Curator of MBA Kraków 2019: Peter Butenschøn / Norway \n– Commissioner of the MBA Kraków 2019: Marek Kaszyński \n– Commissioner of the Competition A: Marcin Włodarczyk \n– Commissioner of the Competition B: Marta A.
