It's better to disappear for a bit than to disappear forever.
What can more effectively trigger the imagination than a trip to the smoldering Miedzianka market dotted with only grass and trees?
‘Miedzianka, story of disappearing’ is an architectural and urban concept inspired by the history of slow degradation of a small mining town located in the picturesque area of Lower Silesia. The project refers to the situation in Poland and in the world - to the growing process of ‘disappearing’ in architecture. It aims to explore the ways of functioning of the post-mining heritage and to outline a new understanding of urban planning and urban planning (with bottom-up activities, the creation of functional hybrids). After centuries of natural disasters, epidemics, political reasons, and above all mining damage Miedzianka became a strange meadow - nothing more.
The concept reverses intuitive mining architectural associations: the form of the object is located above ground level, exposing the remains of ruins,proposing the role of a new development catalyst with a publicly available attraction.
The project responds to the nomadic movements of our time, temporariness, and the disappearance of the functions of buildings. The queue assumes the role of a living reportage.
The work is inspired by the ongoing interest of the village, the reportage festival ‘Miedzianka
Fest’ and the book debut of Filip Springer with the same name.
