DESCRIPTION:Located in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains in southern Poland, the
Świętokrzyska Promenade is an urban revitalisation project along the
historic Royal Route, connecting the centre of Nowa Słupia with the route
towards the Holy Cross Monastery.
Completed in 2025, the project transforms a section of the town's main
street into a more pedestrian-friendly public space. New paving, planting,
lighting and custom-designed street furniture introduce places to rest,
meet and experience the surrounding landscape.
The design responds to the existing urban fabric and the history of the
Royal Route while addressing the everyday needs of residents and visitors.
It explores how historic streets in smaller towns can be adapted to
contemporary use while retaining their local character.
The project was designed by GDAK Studio, an architecture and landscape
architecture practice based in Kielce, Poland, led by Ewelina Gdak in
collaboration with architect and artist Michał Gdak.
Two presentations at the Barbican Centre
On Thursday, 3 December, Michał Gdak will take part in two presentations
during the SHARE Architecture Festival.
At approximately 1:30 pm, he will present Beyond Architecture: Art,
Landscape and Public Space, introducing the work of GDAK Studio and
selected projects exploring the relationship between architecture,
landscape, art and design.
Later that afternoon, the Świętokrzyska Promenade will be presented to
the international jury during the 2:20–5:00 pm Live Jury Session, in the
Sport, Civic and Community / Completed Building category.
The jury for this session includes Paola Cattarin (Zaha Hadid Architects),
Christian Male (SimpsonHaugh) and Donncha O'Shea (Gustafson Porter +
Bowman).
The SHARE Architecture Awards Ceremony will take place on Friday, 4
December, at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
The participation of GDAK Studio in the London event is supported by the
Adam Mickiewicz Institute through the Polish Culture Around the World
programme and by the Municipality of Nowa Słupia.
The project itself was commissioned by the Municipality of Nowa Słupia and
implemented with financial support from Poland's Government Road
Development Fund.
