(mentor) Faculty Architecture Department Architecture Programme Studio Border Conditions Date 2011-01-25 Abstract The city of Oswiecim is essentially known for its history, but next to this there is also the present city, what is remarkably seems just like any other small city in Poland. At first it seems that there is a strict border between the present and the past, but remarkably is that these two meet each other in the uncultivated or unknown history of the city: people live in a formal woman’s camp, have train tracts in there backyard and huge plots of empty, wasted land cross through the city. It is clear that there is more history to remember in Oswiciem then is done at the moment. In this city remembering is either putting a big wall or fens around a place, or doing nothing at all. In my project I investigated this history remembrance and tried to view it from a different angle. Also I aimed to combine the past and the present, to include the present city in a commemoration of history.
