Abstract

The following article pertains to a student project called: Open-Air Work Zone for Students of the Faculty of Architecture. It elaborates on the scope of pre-design research which preceded projects carried out by students. The context in which such places came to be, within the space of contemporary campuses, was also analyzed. Next, two concepts put forth by students were described as the result of end-of-semester papers completed at the Department of Design and Qualitative Research of the Faculty of Architecture at the Silesian University of Technology (Gliwice, Poland). The publication also contains a brief description of the changes made to the structure of the Polish higher education facilities, as a result of significant factors which influenced the new methods of making use of the space and its new quality.

  3. 3.

    Qualitative research at the campus of the Silesian University of Technology was done several times by different research teams. For the first time, the campus was examined in 2014/2015 by a team of students supervised by Doroata Winnicka-Jasłowska. That research was described at length in the authors scientific monograph, written in Polish [10].

  4. 4.

    The project was carried out in the scope of classes run by Joanna Tymkiewicz PhD. Eng. of Architecture, Dorota Winnicka-Jasłowska, PhD. Eng. of Architecture, under the patronage of the Dean of the Architectural Faculty of the Silesian University of Technology, Klaudiusz Fross, PhD. Eng. of Architecture in the academic year 2016/2017.

  5. 5.

    Author’s own methods for qualitative research based on POE, as well as examples of opinions concerning the structures and pre-design research carried out by the authors of the following publication were discussed in the following references [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, 13,14,15,16,17,18].

  6. 6.

    Both projects have been completed under the supervision of Joanna Tymkiewicz, PhD. Eng. of Architecture and Dorota Winnicka-Jasłowska, PhD. Eng. of Architecture.
