Details

The Water Factory in Szczecin, Poland, reimagines an aquatic complex by combining recreation, education, and urban placemaking. The eighteen-component campus centres on water—its science, history, and restorative power. The centre is divided into two parts. The Educatorium connects people through science, exploring biology, chemistry, physics, geography, mathematics, and history, with a central water molecule model highlighting H₂O, while the second part of the complex offers pools, saunas, a climbing wall, and more, creating a multifunctional destination where learning, entertainment, and community life flow together seamlessly.
