Type of innovation
Please specify technological innovation
A new campus of the Bialystok University, which from the start was designed to incorporate green and blue infrastructure elements into the educational public institution is a system innovation that challenges the usual architectural solutions in similar buildings. The aesthetic effect that emphasizes modernity and harmony with nature has been achieved through the use of steel, gray architectural concrete, glass and green vegetation that covers the walls and roofs. Additionally, the project includes shallow ponds, stream and rain water drainage system.(1)
