The relation between the city-as-object and rural-as-background no longer exists. Instead of perceiving the countryside simply as different modes of agricultural production, we should consider the countryside for its intrinsic qualities.

Within that process, I closely examined the Unesco Tuchola Forest Biosphere where the project is situated. The region is characterized by a lowland, lakeland type of landscape and its inhabitants mostly depend on forestry and tourism as well as craft development based on local timber processing.

The result of this exploration was a preliminary design for an educational centre that would foster the development of natural building techniques to be applied in the Polish countryside. This would allow regional economic and ecological advantages due to the decentralised availability of the material and the potential of creating a regional supply chain out of an agricultural waste product.
