The project called Sanatorium of memory – memorial for Jewish Community in Otwock explores the link between architecture and memory. It is a set of architectural interventions, surrounding the ruins of the previous sanatorium for mentaly ill Jews. The project aims to rehabilitate the absent memory of the exterminated community. It seeks inspiration in vernacular architecture of the city as well as broad architectural tradition of Polish heritage. The project focuses on exploration of varied  ways of preservation, of both architectural tissue as well as memory of the past : collective and personal.
