The workshop will examine important modern architectural buildings in Gdańsk/ Gdynia in different political, cultural, economic and environmental contexts. The students will be divided into groups. Each group will be led by the curator of the exhibition. They will identify and evaluate the architectural values of the building through analyses, deconstructions and syntheses, focusing on understanding the basic principles of architecture and establishing the language to preserve them from possible future investments. Modelling, definition of materials, structure, textures, patterns, social context and technology are some of the investigative data. All investigations will be recorded and explored using models at various scales - from whole building to 1:1 detail. Each group of students will produce an exhibition of the architectural models with a catalogue. The aim is to enable the students to understand the importance of the heritage, its values and its reuse with the new users and appropriate programs as part of the future challenges and opportunities of the new generations. They will learn how to deal with the heritage and different interests of their future, learning through the models and critical dialogue through the public discussion and exhibition.
