Plaszow Camp

Strategic PlanBy looking at the site specifically, it is evident that the important ecological corridors and elements--Visula River, waterbodies, railways, biodiversity hotspots, and xerothermic grassland--are located primarily in the northern portion of the site. The Liban quarry has to the potential to be an ecological haven for wildlife.

Master PlanTime has subtly interposed itself in Plaszow, disconnecting the physical setting to its past. Only a deliberate act of memory could reconnect them. Locals are the primary users, while visitors are generally disorientated due to the film Schindler’s List. By revealing the archaeology of the camp, it could become a heritage site for all visitors.

Detailed PlanThe location of the concentration camp was chosen for further design exploration in order to reconnect the site to its past and preserve the memory of its history. This was accomplished with naturalistic interventions: plant, rock, and water.
