IDEA
With this project, we wanted to bring closer the figure of the Polish physicist, an outstanding scientist. Together with a team of eminent scientists from all over the world, he worked on a secret project in Manhattan to create a new, powerful weapon - that's how the atomic bomb was born. However, he resigned from the project when he realized the implications. During the Cold War, Rotblat became a leading critic of the concept of military deterrence through the possession of weapons of mass destruction. He argued that such a weapon threatened the very existence of mankind. In 1957 he led the creation of an international pacifist movement for nuclear demilitarisation called Pugwash. In 1995, Józef Rotblat and the Pugwash Movement were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He was recognized for his work on nuclear disarmament.
DESIGN
Our main aim was to create a place that would encourage interaction between the inhabitants of the surrounding areas. Our main inspiration was the shapes of the atom and ionizing waves, which Rotblat studied in his scientific work. We proposed a system of benches arranged in circles and surrounded by greenery.
The project realized in cooperation with Adam Szpil
