Breathing Polska
Project description
After its return to the market economy, Warsaw has grown tremendously but it is still lacking when it comes to being environmentally conscious. Our project will be a pioneering prototype, setting an example of the new green lifestyle Varsovians must abide to achieve sustainable growth. The project will actively promote “green living” by physically impacting the surroundings and also inducing the participation of both students and nearby Kamionek citizens, building a close-knit community.
