PIAŚNICA MEMORIAL EXTENSION

As of today, Memorial in Piaśnica consists of the Monument of the Piaśnica Victims and 26 numbered mass graves. 

On the memorial site there is clear spatial and visual chaos. The cause of this is a wide variety of forms, textures and types of materials that all the elements commemorating the victims are made of – crosses, slates, stones, pillars etc. There are wooden, stone, metal, concrete and other various elements – all placed in different ways and not aligning to one specified code or vision.



Thanks to the new historical findings, there is a need of conducting more fieldwork on the site. Exploring historical facts is a great opportunity to use the potential that lies in the Piaśnica memorial site and transform this degraded area into a coherent spatial complex, that will imprint the memory of this massacre in the collective awareness in a worthy manner.


This work was successfully defended in December 2014, at Gdańsk University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture.
