How the Warsaw Uprising Mound park has evolved three years after its opening is the subject of a piece by Maja Mozga-Górecka in the latest issue of The Architectural Review. The occasion is the AR Public award for best public space of 2025–2026.
On the AR website you will also find Adam Przywara's 2024 text on the ideas and history behind the park.
‘On a sunny Sunday this May, the playground is full of children, and people of all ages can be seen learning about the site’s history at the northern entrance, photographing close‑ups of plants and panoramic city views from the top of the hill, or watching squirrels from the elevated ramps on the southern side. Since the mound was turned into a park by Archigrest and Toposcape, it brims with life’ writes Maja Mozga‑Górecka of the 2026 AR Public awards’ winning project.
Rubble from the Second World War was gathered in mounds on the outskirts of Warsaw. The 160m‑high hill south of the city was turned into a memorial site in the 1990s, and is now evolving as a public park. Any rubble excavated during the works had to be kept on site, so Archigrest and Toposcape used it to fill the gabions that serve as exhibition structures, recounting the story of postwar Warsaw, though ‘more than two thirds of the mound’s surface have remained unaltered’.
Big green areas were excluded from human intervention. Visitors are encouraged to observe the flora and fauna from a relative distance, with winding routes on elevated walkways and viewing platforms. Throughout the site, a series of gullies have been carved, enclosed by retaining walls made of ‘rubble concrete’.
