This years summer has been full o unique experiences, after students from the Faculty of Architecture from the Poznań University of technology had a chance to participate in an international research camp seminar in Italy. This was a next step in the polish- Italian cooperation which took place between 26th of July and the 4th of August in small town Sabbioneta, 40km away from Mantova. This kind of an urban structure, quite popular in Europe during renaissance has been well thought. Sabbioneta along with polish Zamość are considered to be the few examples of an ideal city. An ideal city is famous of it's urban structure- it was well thought through and planned from the beginning to the end. Commenced in the '80s during the 20th century a big attempt in the cities historical upgrade initiated many projects involving the regrowth of the cities former glory. This years polish-Italian camp seminar was kept in this kind of atmosphere. The professors: Giancarlo Leoni, Carlo Peraboni, Francesco Caprini, Marco Caprini, Maciej Janowski, Dominika Pazder, Adam Nadolny, and the students: Cristina Bianchini, Federica Cobelli, Katarzyna Grajkowska, Karolina Groszek, Paulina Matłoka, Marcin Nowicki, Mario Pan, Adam Profaska, Agata Rachuba, Andrzej Resterny, Severino Ros-setto, Natalie Schmidt, Kamila Steinke, Tomasz Tomaniak. Due to the variety of the discussed subjects during the camp seminar, students have been participating in at least 2 English spoken lectures a day. Well prepared data enabled students to skip the pre- planning inventarization phases and pass straight to the designing process. The domain of the first group was to take care of the town's two main gates: Porta Vittoria and Porta Imperiale. The teams aim was to suggest new functions apart from communication purpose. The second group worked on the difficulties on the ancient square-Piazza d'Armi, which arose after the destructions of Gonzaga's fortress caused in Napoleon's times. The misused throughout decades space in the town centre was to gain a new urban frame and a human friendly atmosphere. The third group was involved in redesigning the north-western part of the walls, which despite of it's attractive location was not exposed enough in it's urban structure. The fourth group chose Piazza Ducale as their topic, the main square in Sabbioneta which currently is sadly used as a big parking space. The final exhibition, that was organized in Palazzo Forte showed the local authorities the hidden potential that Sabbioneta always had. The students presented over 16 AO format posters. The interesting fact is that each groups project overlapped and supplemented one another. The project of rebuilding Porta Vittoria was connected with the pedestrian walkway alongside the fortification. The interesting redesign and new shape of Piazza Ducale along with the skilful rejoindance with Piazza d'Armi concluded in regaining it's representative form. In conclusion - the camp seminar in Sabbioneta can be counted as a successful one. Each group acquired new experiences in planning as well as in organization. Polish students had a great opportunity to visit the southern Lombardy and experience it's culture, architecture and the unique landscape of the surrounding valleys. Faculties of both universities had tightened up their bonds, which is going to result in next year's camp in Zamość -the polish ideal city. We should hope that the outcome will be equally satisfactory as the Sabbionetan camp.

To understand where we are, we should now from where we came. The project preview creating representation space, an entrance for historical city. It is needed to create not only a place for passing through but also a square to stay there for a while with entourage of monuments, like the Jan Zamoyski Palace, the Cathedral, the Zamoyski Academy an historical main gates to the city. A piazza can be organized on a base of a rectangle module with a game of different levels and steps. The Szczebrzeska Gate should restore its previews destination - like a main gate to the city. From one gate to another guide a curve on pavement which also guide (from one side) to the Zamoyski Academy and (from other) to The Cathedral. To return to the historical ideal plan for Zamość made by Bernardo Morando, main axis with a closure of the Palace should be seen clearly. It is also suggested to re-route existing street which is a visual and mental barrier. In front of the Palace should be organized green area with trees, and car park should be places in a background of the building. It is also planned to create of new big parking outside of the historical city (on a place of existing private garden area).

L'estate di quest'anno si e dimostrata ricca di esperienze uniche, dal momenta che alcuni studenti della Facolta di Architettura dell'Universita di Tecnologia di Poznań hanno avuto 1'opportunita di partecipare ad un seminario di ricerca internazionale in Italia. Questo e stato un ulteriore passo nella collaborazione italo-polacca che ha avuto luogo tra il 26 Luglio e ii 4 Agosto 2006 nella cittadina di Sabbioneta, situata a 40 km da Mantova. II prototipo di struttura urbana "ideale", di cui si annoverano alcune esperienze in Europa durante il Rinascimento, appare ben riuscito. Sabbioneta, assieme alia citta polacca di Zamość, sono considerate due esempi di citta ideali, rese famose per la loro particolare struttura urbana, concepite e pianificate in ogni loro aspetto dal progetto fmo alia loro realizzazione. A partire dagli anni '80 del XX Secolo e possibile riscontrare una forte spinta verso tentativi di valorizzare gli ambiti storici e di antica origine delle citta al fine di fame rinascere i passati fasti. I professori Giancarlo Leoni, Carlo Peraboni, Francesco Caprini, Marco Caprini, Maciej Janowski, Dominika Pazder, Adam Nadolny e gli studenti Cristina Bianchini, Federica Cobelli, Katarzyna Grajkowska, Karolina Groszek, Paulina Matłoka, Marcin Nowicki, Mario Pan, Adam Profaska, Agata Rachuba, Andrzej Resterny, Severino Rossetto, Natalie Schmidt, Kamila Steinke, Tomasz Tomaniak, provenienti da entrambe le universita - Politecnico di Milano Universita di Tecnologia di Poznań - si sono trovati a prendere parte ad una stretta collaborazione rigurado ambiti ben precisi. Vista la grandę varieta di argomenti trattati nel corso del campo di ricerca, gli studenti hanno seguito non meno di due lezioni ex cathedra al giorno tenute in inglese. Grazie ad approfonditi elaborati di analisi realizzati in passato, che ahnno fornito un'ottima base conoscitiva delia citta, e stato possibile passare direttamente alia fasę progettuale. L'ambito di lavoro del primo gruppo ha riguardato le due porte di accesso principali di Sabbioneta: Porta Vittoria e Porta Imperiale. L'obiettivo che il gruppo si e prefisstao e suggerire nuove funzioni per questi due edifici che esulassero dal semplice passaggio veicolare e pedonale. II secondo gruppo ha preso in esame la Piazza d'Armi, vuoto urbano che si e venuto a creare dopo la distruzione del castello dei Gonzaga avvenuta in seguito al passaggio delie truppe napoleoniche. Obiettivo di questo lavoro e stato donare a questo spazio un nuovo, compiuto e armonioso inserimento nel cońtesto urbano nonche una migliore sua percezione da parte dei visitatori. II terzo gruppo si e occupato delia parte nord-occidentale delie mura che, contrariamente a quanto permetterebbe la posizione suggestiva in cui sorgono, non godono di una adeguata rilevanza visiva e di fuibilita nella struttura urbana. II quarto gruppo ha scleto come proprio ambito di lavoro Piazza Ducale, la Piazza principale di Sabbioneta su cui domina il palazzo della famiglia Gonzaga, con un obiettivo di riqualificazione formale e funzionale che la porti ad essere ben altro che, come avviene attualmente, un parcheggio. L'esposizione finale per la presentazione dei lavori, che e stata allestita presso Palazzo Forte, ha permesso di mostrare alle autorita locali l'enorme potenziale nscosto di Sabbioneta. Gli studenti hanno presentato oltre sedici tavole in formato AO. L'aspetto dimaggior rilievo e che i progetti di ogni singolo gruppo inevitabilmente si sono uniti e completati a vicenda in maniera complementare. Per esempio, il progetto di restauro di Porta Vittoria ha implicato la realizzazione di un nuovo camminamento pedonale lungo il tracciato delle mura; 1'assai interessante proposta di riqualificazione formale e funzionale di Piazza Ducale assieme alia brillante soluzione di un forte collegamento fra questa primo spazio pubblico e Piazza d'Armi hanno avuto come esito la restituzione ai due spazi aperti del loro originale ruolo di rappresentanza. In conclusione il seminario di ricerca presso Sabbioneta puo essere senza dubbio considerate un successo. Ogni gruppo ha acquisito esperienza progettuale e organizzativa. Gli studenti polacchi hanno avuto la grandę opportunita di visitare la Lombardia meridionale e di confrontarsi con questi luoghi, con la cultura, 1'architettura e i paesaggi locali. Le due Facolta hanno grazie a questa esperienza rinforzato i propri contatti, che porteranno con ogni probabilita all'organizzazione di un secondo campo di ricerca presso Zamość, la citta ideale polacca. Le nostre speranze sono naturalmente che i risultati di questa seconda iniziativa siano tanto soddisfacenti quanti quelli ottenuti quest'anno a Sabbioneta.

We began our work in Sabbioneta from recognition of the field of our concern. The terrain, that we have chosen, was a large open space, situated in the south - western part f the city. Historically, this area was occupied by XV-century monastery building. Unfortunately, not much of it was left for our times, as Napoleon's army destroyed monastery and the castle. Nowadays, this area is covered only with farmlands and green areas. We came up with two main aims, which can or should this terrain serve. First concerned reconstructing or suggesting a new shape of the historical buildings. The second aim was to create some space, which can animate the city and give local society a new impulse for activation. Therefore our work wasn't so simple. Besides those fundamental aims, there were many restrictions connected with preserving the character of the space. First and most important restriction was the historical value of the city landscape. We knew we should create something spectacular, which will harmoniously cooperate with the renaissance tissue. We were aware that we ought to protect the original landscape from devastation. Great responsibility was in our hands. If inhabitants want to develop the city space, only our project will give them a serious chance to do that. Because of that, we did everything to present them an interesting and realistic conception of development this area. Finally, we knew there are other work groups and other ideas. Our ambition was, that the whole projects should present holistic conception of the revival of the city. We designed a new pathway, perpendicular to and starting from Via Vespasiano Gon-zaga. This footpath led to a part of the southern walls and separated the school space on the left from the designed labyrinth on the right. For the purpose of setting apart the public area from the school field, we introduced a shallow water reservoir to the space. That way, we gained a kind of buffer area. The shape of the water reservoirs mirrored the old castle walls. On the end of the pathway we placed a perpendicular greenery ramp, which leads to the level of bastion and the walls. Under the ramp, within the scarp, we proposed a gallery. It uses natural landscape and merges interesting appearance with practical function. The labyrinth, placed on the right side of the path, doesn't have a single entrance but because it's wall was cut into segments, it seems open for the pathway. It makes an impression of inviting. We divided the maze into four courtyards that imitated the shape of the old monastery. Each courtyard could serve as an exhibition field for different kinds of presentation of art and multimedia installations. We thought of installing movable panels in the western part of the largest courtyard, which would become a space for mass open-space events. The slope adjacent to the wall, farther to the west, stood as natural tribune for the audience. There are many ways leading into labyrinth, but only one that leads out of it. The maze ends with a long underground tunnel, leading on the top of the bastion. People coming out from the dusky tunnel see a gushes of water coming upward from the fountain and, when they reach the top, an amazing panorama of the city. We created also a pavilion, located at the corner of the bastion. Part of this pavilion hangs out of the walls. It functions as a cafe and a viewpoint. Another important issue was the exposition of the system of the old defensive walls. The challenge was how to use and expose this well-kept fortifications in an interesting way. Therefore appeared an idea of connecting whole six bastions with a path on the walls, which could rim the historical city. The next concept was to band all bastions using six highlighted columns of water. In the future, spectacles could be enriched with music and color illumination, visible from the city center with a full splendor. Consequently, we fulfilled the idea of a theatrical city, which was the idea of the all project groups.

The aim of the workshop programme is the creation of the base for cultural events in the town. The solution proposed by us is the development of "Piazza Ducale", which is a car park at present and would involve the new function of the square, a new pavement and architectural details. The project is based on the idea of water appliances, such as an oblong water pool and a fountain. The pavement would comprise of stone slabs which would limit the road traffic in the square. The channel is partially covered by steel grating to facilitate pedestrian traffic. The steel arc fountain cuts the square diagonally, forming a water curtain, which will improve the micro - climate during hot days. The water wall divides the space of the square, which in turn will create inter-related interiors. The new divide will give a feeling of intimacy for all the users of the square attractions. At the same time, the water curtain transparency and the fountain will allow the square to be perceived as an entirety, so the structure becomes interactive and sensitive to the recipients needs. Furthermore, there are new light spots and seats designed on the square. The main goal of the project is to generally change the function of the square from current escaping space into an area where it is worth stopping to enjoy the planned and surrounding attractions.

The first part concerned Piazza d'Armi, the city former main square, which, mrougout the ages, has become neglected and lost it's representative character. The idea was to restore it's prior importance and add new function to this space. Before we plunged into the subject, we came up with a few sketches featuring the area of our concern. Furthermore, we prepared detailed analyses of particular layers of the town structure. We examined greenery, communication and building structure. After coming to a conclusion that the whole site is too large for the city needs, we decided to divide it into several areas. The zones that emerged were: Garden Zone, Green Zone and Theater Zone. There was a secluded part of Piazza located behind the Garden Palace. We agreed that it is a nice space to create a kind of a city garden, as it would continue the greenery in the southern bastion. Later on, we thought that it could also serve as an exposition field for the art collection, a kind of a backyard for the museum inside the Palace. Therefore came the idea of connecting this two function and creating Garden Zone. This area was divided into three parts. The first one, directly behind the museum, consists of several green squares, pedestrian paths and small architecture. The second one, farther to the south, comprise a greenery maze in which some pieces of art could be exhibited to the public. The last one, situated to the west, behind the garden wall, served as a parking place for tourist and school buses. We decided to leave this function, but organize it in a proper way. We add a greenery space, a small shop and a bus stop equipped with toilets. Furthermore, the old building on the other side of Via Giulia Gonzaga, adjacent to the city walls, has been transformed into a restaurant. There was a lot of greenery in front of the primary school, in the western part of Piazza. That is why we decided to leave most of it, but arrange it in a modern way. In the Green Zone exists an exhibition space with a few large spheres on which pupils can hang their works and show them to everyone. There is also a Water Point, located at the corner of Via Gonzaga and Via Giulia Gonzaga, from which drinking water had been drawn centuries ago. We wanted to expose it a great deal, so decided to bring water to the Piazza in this particular zone. Therefore we created a park with paths and benches surrounding a small pond. The last area of our concern was the Theater Zone, situated alongside a large gallery called Corridor of the Ancients. The name of this area appeared after a group of students working on the Corridor proposed to situate an open theater before the gallery. Consequently the whole zone has been subordinated to the idea of the theater. There was a part of terrain that we have to lower in order to obtain a kind of stairs and seats for the audience as well as the stage. Moreover, we created a greenery complex, including an underground building supporting the theater and some water reservoirs, as a continuation of the water axis initiated in Green Zone. Our last decision concerned the Crown of Pallas Athena monument, which, in our conception, should return to it's original place and be situated on the Via Dondi's street axis. The central point of the composition became the arcade, next to the Garden Palace, which serves as a gate to the main part of Piazza d'Armi. It is a junction connecting all three zones and is signified by a huge rotated square-shaped pedestrian space. There is a small cafe within this area as well as an Info Box, a cubic structure where people can acquire city plans, collect data and get all kinds of information concerning current city events.

Poznań Faculty of Architecture with the cooperation with Milano University of Technology organized Polish-Italian workshop in summer 2006, that took place in the city of Poznań. The students were to examine the areas of the following housing estates in Poznań: Przyjaźni, Kosmonautów and Pod Lipami. The reason why these topics had been chosen is that architects-teachers believe that kind of areas could be treated as "an experimental rangę" for young students of architecture. The work on real urban tissue, with the existing spatial context and the difficulties this situation generates, helps students to widen their knowledge and teach them to cooperate with the other members of the design groups. This year the following teams took part in the international workshop: Professors: Maciej Janowski, Dominika Pazder, Adam Nadolny, Marina Molon, Eleonora Bersani, Giancarlo Leoni, Umberto Pollazzo; Assistants: Luigi Frazzi, Stefania Manni, Paolo Moretto, Andrea Treu, Laura Bruni, Piętro Messori, Emilano Alberto Righi; and the students: Marcin Nowicki, Magdalena Trocka, Joanna Grześkowiak, Olga Haus-mann, Agnieszka Nowakowska, Anna Ptaszyńska, Magdalena Zając, Alina Zajączkowska, Jakub Stroiński, Maciej Burdalski, Florinda Boschetti, Maria Chiappa, Paolo Delia Porta, Francesca Farrarini, Sabino Rubini, Sergio Savino, Federico Tinti. The activities were planned to be realized on various levels and stages. First stage of design seminary was devoted to the survey of the area. Surprisingly, the condition and archi-tectural image of Winogrady, turned out to be far better than it had been expected. The advantages of the urban plan of long and high blocks of flats surrounded by green, arę em-phasized morę in the comparison with the newly-built (2001) dwellings of TBS (cheap social buildings) and with the group of eight buildings being erected at present along Naramowicka street. One of Italian professors joked that there was really nothing to be im-proved. It is very common for the architects to say 'I would do it better'. Polish and Italian professors and students decided to follow this saying. In the second stage of the workshops, they were to work out the idea of the new master plan so as to correct all the irregularities that had appeared within the years. There was also a lecture presented by Marta Świderska and Ewa Mieloch from Town Planning Office City of Poznań, who gave some comments to the plan of Winogrady that is nów being drawn up. As a result of long-lasting discussions and consultations, three conceptions of the revi-talization of examined area emerged. The students pointed out the need of improying the existing communication system in there, and they also criticized the uncontrolled develop-ment of the area, where the new buildings arę being erected paying no attention to the spatial context and surroundings. There was underlined the ąuestion of the inhabitants of the Winogrady residential area as well: retired and old people on one hand, and a number of students, young couples or singles on the other. According to this, one should expect the need of rearranging existing buildings and create a new ąuality of life in the foreseeable future time. At the end, all the conclusions were gathered to be used during the third, finał stage of the workshop. At that time the task was to find solutions to the important for Winogrady problems. The students formed Polish-Italian groups so as to work together and learn to cooperate. One of these problems was the ąuestion of changing the flat arrangement in the process of combining smaller flats and to mąkę bigger the surface of living, improve its functional-ity and standard. The results were surprising: the forms of the existing blocks of flats with the unchangeable function turned into the interesting structures of high flexibility. There was also very significant to preserve and take best advantage of the existing green areas. The other problem was connected with the huge surfaces of Kaufland and Cas-torama: the students proposed the alterations in the architectural image of these buildings so as to help change the nondescript objects into morę interesting forms. In the end it is needed to add that summer international workshop was really fruitful. In the cooperative work of Polish and Italian students really interesting projects were worked out. That is also to be accentuated, that owing to this workshops, we appreciated the hidden charm of the urban structures like Winogrady. We can discuss their ąuality, character and usefulness, but we must admit that there was a complete and clear idea from the very be-ginning of their creation. The other, also crucial aspect of the workshop, was the opportu-nity for Polish and Italian students and professors to get to know and compare different way of thinking about architecture and design methods. We hope that it was the beginning of long-lasting international cooperation and that in future there will be also such a nice atmosphere during the joint work.
