Current architectural theory and practice deal mainly with the issue of buildings for social services in the urban environment. Life in the countryside has its differences, so does caring for the people in need outside the city. The aim of the project is to compile professional and study materials providing comprehensive information on current practice in the implementation of buildings for social services in the countryside (housing for the elderly, day hospitals, community centers, low-threshold facilities for children and youth, etc.). First of all, the creation of a clear database of such buildings, sorted according to criteria relevant to architecture and typology. Using case studies, the project will assess whether the current practice meets the specific needs of the rural population. Interviews with users and staff of the analyzed objects will provide a deeper insight into these needs. The database will also make it possible to compare new buildings for selected purposes with the use of reconstructed historic buildings, both in terms of the frequency of individual solutions and to determine whether this difference universally affects the spatial quality of buildings. The project will include an analysis of existing subsidy programs which support the development of buildings for social services in rural environment. The aim of the project is to determine the specifics of buildings for social services in rural areas and to enable the definition of appropriate approaches to the design of such objects. The output of the project will serve not only as a basis for further research on the topic of buildings for social services, but also as a reference base, especially for studio teaching of similar typologies. At the same time, it will supplement the publications of the Ministry of Regional Development and the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs on the issue.

In the framework of the research "Architecture in the education of teachers of primary schools" it was found that one of the important problems in the sphere of the architectural education of children is the lack of professional training of teachers and the lack of interest of experts to participate in this. One of the ways to solve this problem is to ensure the cooperation between urbanism architects and teachers, that is one of the goals of the "Architect Education of Teachers" project. The project is a series of workshops with primary school teachers, aimed at improving the knowledge and skills of teachers in teaching children of topics related to architecture and urbanism. The complex quality approach to architect teaching can be born only through interdisciplinary cooperation.

Architecture and the public space influences us and also we can influence the development of the environment. That is why it is extremely important to educate the youngest - children - in these fields. An ideal place for comprehensive familiarization with various forms of architecture and urbanism is the elementary school that offers both: humanities and technical / natural sciences. The aim of the project is to explore the needs of teachers who are interested in implementation of architecture to their classes. Based on this survey, the Club of Friends of Architecture will be developed and we will try increase the amount of teachers who are interested in thema. The club will provide a virtual and real meetings of architects with teachers, where there will be room for mutual learning and the sharing of good practice from both disciplines.

Project Architecture for Children aims to create the basis for the methodology for teaching in primary schools and for other leisure activities with children. We want to learn children to perceive architecture and public space as an important part of culture just as to understand the context of the development of the city in which they live and deepen their relationship with it. Through direct work with children at workshops, should the project help create a relationship to the place that kids use every day, passing by on the way to school and back home or spend their leisure time here. We want to encourage critical thinking in children and that way affect the status of our environment in the near future.
