Think Place won the project following an international competition last November. Key buildings in the masterplan have been designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill and Professor Stefan Kurylowicz and a concept design for the park was developed with Patel Taylor who will work with French Landscape Artist Alain Provost on future stages of the project. The site is well serviced by public transport and its regeneration represents efficient use of land in one of Europe’s fastest growing cities. Sustainability has been at the forefront of the design and Think Place have worked with Arup on concepts for this, implementing Arup’s SPeAR tool for the first time in Warsaw.
