The primary objective of the Powiśle Campus is to be open and intertwined with the urban fabric. This obliged us to design a public building with a widely accessible ground floor and an attractive outdoor space. The goal for those spaces is to complement the neighbourhood with a new place, intended not only for the academic community, but also for residents, passers-by and tourists. The rich urban context provides many pretexts for this — the nearby Mariensztat, urban public facilities, green recreational areas, the proximity of the river and the planned pedestrian and bicycle bridge across the Vistula River — together with the new buildings of the university provide an opportunity for the development of a multi-threaded part of the city and new energy.

The designed object is designed as two complementary free-standing bodies. A meandering green path runs between the buildings, enriching pedestrian communication inside the quarter. From the side of Dobra Street, in order to preserve the existing trees and create a public space in the zone of the main entrance, a deviated building line was proposed, led in a direction parallel to the facade of the Library of the University of Warsaw and the section of Dobra Street between Lipowa and Karowa.
