Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice

Project description
Project Id 3330
Project Name Zamek Culture Centre, Poland
Description ZAMEK Culture Centre in Pozna? is one of the largest cultural institutions in the country. Each year, the institution hosts 2,500 events which both showcase and stimulate the development of the most interesting phenomena in culture. The spaces and interiors of ZAMEK are a venues where one sees the interfacing and mutually complementary presence of visual arts, theatre, film, music and literature. The programme relies both on the tried and tested forms of expression (e.g. concerts, performances, exhibitions, soirees and literary meetings, film screenings) as well as on experimental artistic undertakings by embarking on new types of activities, often site-specific ones. These ventures are much aided by ZAMEK’s artist-in-residence programme. The Centre for Educational Practices, which functions as part of the institution, aims to develop and implement new methods and tools of education, as well as initiates and supports collaboration between the domains of culture and school education.
Description of the economic, social and environmental impacts of the project It's in the city centre and has an important role as a cultural institution - it creates a lot of events to include local residents but also people from all over the country (and even Europe).
