So much to win!

The article discusses the recognition of the park at the Warsaw Uprising Mound (Operation ‘Tempest’ Park) with the European Prize for Urban Public Space. This prestigious award, initiated by the Centre for Contemporary Culture in Barcelona (CCCB), was this year given to the design studios archigrest and topoScape, who created the park. The park, together with the Warsaw Uprising Mound, is one of the most appreciated green space projects in Warsaw, having won several national awards for urban design and ecological solutions.

The park’s success stems from its careful balance between preserving the existing natural environment and integrating new elements. It was designed with minimal interference to the landscape, carefully maintaining the vegetation that had grown spontaneously on the rubble from Warsaw’s post-war reconstruction. This approach, which values man-made ecosystems alongside natural ones, is considered a key element in the park’s popularity.
