In September 2009, the Foundation provided financial support to young architects from the atelier "Marek Rytych Architect" in Warsaw. They took third place in the international competition named: "Interconnection and Communication with the Islands of Today and Tomorrow - BERING STRAIT PROJECT" published by the Foundation for Peace and Union, based in Korea.

For the first time in the history Poles won a prize in the architectural competition of such importance organized under the auspices of the prestigious International Union of Architects - UIA (www.uia - architectes.org). The competition task was to develop the concept of connecting two continents of Asia and America 80 kilometer long tunnel in the Bering Strait After its implementation it will be able to get from Beijing to Chicago by train!

So the jury rated the draft Polish architects:

"Interconnection and Communication with the Islands of Today and Tomorrow" - BERING STRAIT PROJECT: "The panel unanimously concluded that this project is one of the most successful and unconventional version uses symbolic geometry. The concept refers to the visionary eighteenth-century projects such as " Ledoux 's Cenotaph " by defining the sphere as dematerialized nebula. Streams energy tunnel pass through bedrock and explode in a geyser of light consists of colored , interwoven strings enclosed within a split sphere geodesic. Jury particularly appreciated the potential of the team in expressing great , original and yet scandalous vision of global unity and peace in the world."

The Foundation has helped young architects to create a DVD presentation showing the award-winning concept and to organize their trips for this year's festivals: LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL and DESIGN FESTIVAL in Singapore, where he showed his project.

We also believe that Poland can participate in the great events of this world!
