The Krakow Oxygen Home is a community centre for the people in Krakow with lung cancer, as well as their friends and families.
Since Krakow has some of the worst air pollution in all of Europe, the number of people with chronic lung diseases is significantly high. Therefore the need for the Krakow Oxygen Home is ever more prevalent. The key function of the building will be to provide a comfortable and supportive environment in difficult times to the patients, as well as their friends and families.
This is an opportunity for enthusiasts to use architecture and design to create something to help heal a hurting community and spread a strong message of hope.
This project includes a pavilion with an outdoor space in the middle. The main theme of this project is to create an environment that gives the users a sense of place in a space that belongs to a particular community, while it gives a notion of an outdoor space.
According to the subject of the project and its location (Bror Hansson Park), we sought to develop a new and coherent place that can provide a new definition for the neighborhood through Krakow Oxygen Home; a definition that not only meets the needs of the project,/ but gives a new identity to the neighborhood. By examining the Program and possibilities, we found that it can be divided into two zones: indoor and outdoor. However, the outdoor is the only defined private space. The outdoor private space was developed through encompassing the outdoor by the indoor- A nice and cozy space that could be an opportunity for the cancer patients to socialize and to hold a variety of events. On the other hand, the relationship between the building and the park landscape is among the concerns of this project. To achieve this goal, the program is divided into five zones with regard to the interrelated functions: reception area, office, health care, community, and the service zone. By creating an opening between each of these zones, the park and landscape spaces penetrate into the building reasonably and encompass the building. To achieve integration, take advantage of the light, and create a sense of protection of the interior from pollution in the city, translucent glass was used for the outer wall, which turned Krakow oxygen home into a pollution-free object like a cloud that sits lightly on the ground. In addition, due to the small size of the building spaces, transmitting light through the building would help the spaces to be perceived larger than they are. The interior wall of the building (facing the central courtyard) is covered with a transparent glass so that there is always a visual connection between the indoor and the outdoor spaces. An apple tree will be planted in the central courtyard as the symbol of the city of Krakow since apple is one of the most useful fruits for lung health. This tree will be planted by the residents of the neighborhood in the presence of patients with lung cancer.
