Rearrangement of Narutowicza square

team: Katarzyna Iwańczuk, Mikołaj Iwańczuk, Anna Ostrowska

client: Miasto Stołeczne Warszawa

project: 2013

The main goal of this design proposal was to clean up as much surface as possible of its technical, transport function and subsequently turn it into livable, attractive public space. A newly recuperated area surrounded by valuable pre-war architecture gives almost unlimited possibilities of reuse.

The main attraction in the square working as a magnet luring both residents of local districts and people from all over the city is multifunctional community center nicknamed “Loop”. Its name, localization, architecture and the way it functions make a direct reference to the place’s past heritage, marked visibly by the presence of trams and train transportation in general.

An important part of new community center is a system of movable seats using existing rails as a guideways. They can be used depending on current need either as a comfortable bench,a functional counter during flea-market or sort of a platform for artistic expression.
