358. Biblioteka Nowa, Rzeszów (PL), competition, 2026.

—
Bibliotheka Nowa is envisioned as “The World’s Greatest Library,” bringing together two major programs (a library and a multipurpose hall) belonging to separate institutions with different timelines, funding structures, and phasing strategies.
The project takes the form of a cluster of smaller buildings linked by a shared, covered public space. This central space opens onto a sequence of courtyards and extends into the surrounding neighbourhood, thus creating a porous and accessible ground floor.
The library is distributed across several stacked levels, each dedicated to a specific program. Quiet and active functions are carefully separated to establish a balanced soundscape, while integrated voids provide connections to the outdoors and create visual and spatial links between different uses.
The Multipurpose Hall is planned for a later phase and is conceived as a highly adaptable space opening directly onto a green outdoor area. This relationship allows events and activities to extend beyond the building and into the public realm.

🥈We are happy to present our second place proposal for the New Maksimir Stadium and Svetice Sports Centre in Zagreb.

•
A big thank you to Grad Zagreb for the opportunity and to Bollinger+Grohmann for the nice collaboration.

•
Location and Context
Located on the eastern edge of Zagreb’s city centre, adjacent to Maksimir Park, the masterplan conceives the site as an integrated “Sports City” where architecture, public space, sport, and nature operate as one continuous urban landscape.

•
The Central Strip
The development is structured around the “Street of Sport”, a linear public promenade forming its primary pedestrian and spatial backbone. Extending from the southern transport hub to the northern entrance of Maksimir Park, it connects the city with the park while integrating active building frontages, public spaces, landscape, everyday movement, and major events. Its structure also establishes a framework for future phases.

•
Spatial Organization
The masterplan is organized into two complementary zones. To the east, the stadium precinct provides a controlled environment containing the main stadium, training fields, parking, and event-related logistical infrastructure. The stadium itself, with its distinct form, is precisely designed to maximise users’ comfort and experience, while the recurring colour blue is a homage to the club’s long history.

To the west, the publicly accessible “Svetice Sports and Recreation Centre” forms an open, everyday sports campus. Indoor and outdoor facilities are organized around the existing swimming pool, creating a network of recreational spaces active beyond major sporting events.

•
Landscape Strategy
The “Carpet of Trees” unifies the development through a continuous canopy within which buildings, sports facilities, and public spaces appear as clearings. Along the central strip, the canopy becomes lighter, providing shade, visual continuity, and long views. Meandering pedestrian paths connect programmes and entrances through the landscape.

Together, these strategies create a porous civic landscape that connects Zagreb’s urban fabric with Maksimir Park while accommodating both major sporting events and everyday city life.

The Bildungscampus Süd creates a new urban landscape reconnecting Heilbronn, the campus and the Neckar River. Building on the city’s historic relationship with the river, the project proposes a resilient landscape that responds to climate change, urban heat and changing water levels.
The existing park and its valuable tree canopy are largely preserved and strengthened through new planting, thus enhancing biodiversity and providing with generous shaded spaces.
Water becomes an active element of the design: a new Water Park opens the campus to the Neckar, while the River Park uses gentle topographies, wetlands and planted areas to retain rainwater and provide natural cooling.
A raised Ring Bridge forms the project’s central connective element, linking the city, campus buildings and landscape while preserving the park beneath. Along the ring, new academic and research buildings are arranged as a series of interconnected volumes, creating a dynamic mix of learning, research, events and public spaces.
Student housing, a boarding house and a new sports centre furthermore complete the campus; together, these elements create a climate-adaptive, accessible and active urban district.
