Introducing Warsaw University of Technology

Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) is one of Poland’s leading technical universities, renowned for its commitment to innovation in engineering and architecture. With a focus on inclusivity, sustainability, and the built environment, WUT brings top expertise to ensure that public spaces and built environments are accessible to all. Their emphasis on universal design principles is integral to their work in various projects, promoting designs that address the needs of elderly individuals, those with physical disabilities, and neurodiverse users. 

In the Herit4ages project, WUT is vital in ensuring that the project’s design solutions for heritage buildings adhere to universal design standards. This approach guarantees that renovated historic sites are accessible and usable for all individuals, regardless of age or physical abilities. WUT monitors and analyzes ongoing design work to ensure that accessibility features are effectively integrated and compliant with pro-ecological and circular economy approaches. Their primary objective is to strike a balance between accommodating modern needs and preserving the architectural integrity of historic buildings, which are often challenging to adapt.

WUT’s contributions are essential in developing heritage conservation solutions that are both inclusive and sustainable, fostering a built environment that is accessible and environmentally responsible.
