sem. V

This course centers on designing a modern hotel/student dormitory incorporating additional ground-floor services, such as restaurants, shops, and conference spaces. Students will tackle the challenge of creating a dynamic and flexible design responsive to the urban context and sustainability goals while using advanced conceptual tools such as artificial intelligence.

This course aims to guide students in designing a hotel that serves tourists and local residents through its ground-floor services. Students will learn how to create a flexible structure that adapts to market demands and integrates seamlessly with its urban surroundings. Particular emphasis will be placed on sustainable development and the use of AI tools in the design process.

The main goal of this course is to guide students through the design process of a student dormitory, integrating contemporary architectural solutions with urban context, sustainability (aligned with the SDG goals), and advanced conceptual tools such as artificial intelligence. Students will develop an understanding of flexible design solutions that can adapt to changing needs over time.

As part of the elective seminar, students working in groups of 3
will prepare architectural and lighting concept for an
international competition: "COWORKING SPACE” – a place for
people who appreciate working in a creative atmosphere.
The competition is organized by the Polish Association of
Lighting Industry in cooperation with the Agencja SOMA – the
organizer of the International Trade Show Light, and the Silesian
studios: Goczołowie Architekci Studio Autorskie and OVO
Grąbczewscy Architekci.

The topic of the course will introduce the issues of building a neighborhood identity in the form of densification development.  The interdisciplinary team of instructors will introduce the issues of shaping urban structures based on contemporary trends in urban design.

As part of the elective seminar, students working in groups of 3 people will prepare architectural and lighting concept for an international competition: "MOVABLE HOUSE – The Home of a Modern Nomad " organized by the Polish Lighting Industry Association), co-organized by Goczołowie Architekci OVO Grąbczewscy Architects and the SOMA Agency, the organizer of the International LIGHT Fair.

The subject of the competition work is a mobile house on wheels. It can be an adaptation for a moving house, a van, a bus, or even a tinplate with "lorry" approval. It can also be a structure built from scratch on the chassis offered by automotive companies, e.g. on the chassis for installation of Fiat Ducato. Chassis can have different wheelbase lengths, different types of overhang behind the rear axle and different track widths.

The Jury expects unconventional design solutions with the use of specific design solutions (i.e. certain types of chassis) meeting the technical parameters and regulations on vehicle equipment.

An important role in the designed MOVABLE HOUSE might be the analysis of the impact of both natural and artificial light on the character and interior and exterior space of a house on wheels, to create a specific style in it.

The project may be purely theoretical. It is important to present the line of thought and reasons for the next creative design decisions, as well as to present the details. When designing, the role of lighting in the designed solution and, if it is important, in its immediate surroundings, should be taken into account, as well as the visual and impression effect caused by light. You should also remember about the safety of use related to the distribution of the luminous flux and the safety resulting from connection to the electric power supply.

The project requires:
• General explanation of the principles of building the structure, arrangement of rooms and buildings internal, distribution of internal installations, identification of the materials used
• Explanations of the lighting used for interior lighting and, if it results from the design, in its immediate vicinity, how it is used and how it is supplied with electricity

When designing and creating an object or interior, use KANLUX lighting solutions with appropriate lighting parameters and decorative values. The type or types of lighting solutions used is whichever, provided that they form a single, coherent whole with the architectural and spatial elements of the house structure on wheels. They must also meet the requirements of the function for which they are applied.
