During workshops and joint walks around the centre of Rzeszów, we will look at both historical monuments and contemporary architectural projects. Each meeting will begin with a short lecture (approx. 45 minutes) that will prepare participants to better understand the context of the place – historical, spatial and aesthetic. Afterwards, we will set off into the field to experience the city live.
The workshop leader, architect and educator Bartłomiej Pochopień, will guide us through the story of the city and its forms. We will focus on details, talk about urban planning and try to capture it all on paper – in free sketches and drawing notes.
You don't have to be a professional architect or artist – just curiosity, an open mind and something to draw with. Let's meet to discover, observe and create together.
The meetings are aimed at adults and young people. We will provide all the necessary materials (pencils, rulers, crayons, erasers, sharpeners, chairs and outdoor boards).
In case of bad weather conditions, classes will be held indoors.
