The main prize in the design master's thesis category was awarded to Stanisław Tomaszewski for the thesis entitled "Revival of the degraded areas of the city exemplified by Huta Warsaw" (thesis supervisor: Prof. PhD. Eng. Arch. Sławomir Gzell)

The award was granted for a successful attempt to restore the degraded post-industrial areas of Huta Warszawa to the city and its inhabitants.

The project, supported by extensive analyzes carried out on various urban scales, is a concept of building a housing structure as the basic component of urban layouts. It enriches basic design decisions on an urban scale with interesting examples of public space solutions and communication routes.
