The project:
Cieszyn is a small town in Poland with around 32,000 inhabitants, located on the border with the Czech Republic. Bobrek is now part of the town, but used to be an independent neighbouring village. Bobrek was intended to house 18,000 people, for which a large building complex was designed. This idea of
new housing options was ultimately implemented in the form of two small settlements. These settlements are not linked to any social infrastructure and are therefore not connected to any cultural centres, schools, or public transport.
Living in Bobrek therefore offers few prospects for people who want to lead a communal and networked life. The aim of the activities with the residents is to design and programme areas between the two settlements for joint activities.
