Warsaw Agora
Paweł Wołejsza
Parade Square together with the Palace of Culture and Science (PKiN) were built during the communist times and changed the face of the city, becoming its symbol. To this day, this building is associated with the old political system. The large open space of the square, once used for the organization of political rallies, demonstrations and military parades, is now deserted and forgotten.
The project suggests creating a space that would be a symbol of democracy and citizen participation
in creating a vision of the city. It would be a place for open public debates, meetings and discussions, events promoting ideas and strategies, lectures and festivals related to the development of Warsaw. Parade Square is one of the most accessible areas in Europe and it is thus the ideal location for creating such a space.
