In der Kategorie „Exposition Centers“ wurde das Wissenschaftszentrum Kleinpolen Cogiteon in Krakau bei den International Architecture Awards 2025 als „Winner“ ausgezeichnet.
Die Preise werden seit 2004 verliehen: Mit den International Architecture Awards würdigt das Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, zusammen mit dem European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies und der Metropolitan Arts Press bedeutende Architekturprojekte mit allen daran Beteiligten.
„The Małopolska Science Center Cogiteon is an institution with an educational and exhibition function that promotes science and education through play and new, experimental, and original forms of exposition.
Its unique, expressive form is a symbol and an element of the institution’s identity. Within a short time of its opening, the Cogiteon building became one of the most important points on the architectural map of Krakow.

The building has a transitional character. The passageways separating the individual functional units allow free movement in all directions.
The shape of the building is an important element of the energy concept – triangular outline eliminated the north façade and the sloping, sloping green roof replaced the south façade. The temperature-stable east and west facades, apart from the entrance zone, are bounded by solid partitions. The double reinforced concrete space housing the multi-level staircases provides a buffer between the interior and exterior of the building. The temperature in the reinforced concrete void space is intermediate. The massive concrete walls provide an accumulative thermal mass. The intensive green roof is an important element of the building’s energy concept, eliminating the heat island effect.“
Am 20. September 2025 stand in Athen die offizielle Preisverleihung an.
