The article discusses the results of research undertaken by the instructors and students of the Faculty of Architecture into a historic granary designed by Walter Gropius and located in the Pomeranian region near Drawsko Pomorskie. The building is one of the first designed by the famous architect. The students undertook the difficult task of designing a new function for the granary and its deteriorated surroundings. The design phase was preceded by a great deal of research and analysis, which became the guidelines for the individual projects. The work was carried out individually during classes in Modernisation of Historic Buildings; in addition, the granary also became the subject of a master's degree at the Faculty of Architecture at Poznan University of Technology. The overriding aim of the endeavour was to appeal to the educational role of the granary, which, with its new function, can also educate in terms of architecture and history. The building is not a typical representative of the architecture of Walter Gropius and, in a way, foreshadows the future work of the great master. The article discusses the possible future of the building, which the WarsawBauhaus Foundation became the owner of in 2021. The foundation conducts various educational and community integration activities in and around the granary.
