Agata Mila, a third year student of architecture at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology, was awarded in the international Pavilosta Poets Huts competition. The jury appreciated her project of a complex of houses for poets in the Latvian town of Pavilosta.
The subject of the competition was the design of a small complex of buildings for poets to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and create the ideal conditions for writing. Poets’ huts would be built in the port town of Pavilosta associated with beaches and fishing.
A young architect from Wroclaw proposed that the huts could be … towers, reminding that in literature this type of building often expresses loneliness allowing for contemplation of the surroundings and nature. The project was awarded by the jury, which took into account connection of architecture with nature, use of ecological or recyclable materials and low project costs.
