Abstract: The revitalization of the Collegium Broscianum, a public space, which is an annex to the Royal Way in the center of Kraków, requires conducting research in many fields – from archeological, through iconographic, bibliographic, to dendrological studies. The extant spatial and environmental conditions require for a decision to be made as to the form and function of this area. An important part of the problem is the symbolic layer, which takes on a grander meaning in the context of the historical surroundings and the role that this space is to have in the future. Problems related to engineering, such as the access of the surrounding buildings to underground technical infrastructure demand solving. Functional conflicts, such as providing parking spaces versus the ability of fire trucks and municipal service vehicles to access the area further complicate the matter. The neighboring historical church requires a proper handling of the composition of this space – not only of the walkways, driveways and greenery, but also artistic furnishing (sculptures, memorial plaques, gates and entryways), as well as providing proper lighting for the street furniture, greenery and the buildings themselves. The article illustrates the method of research and design that has been undertaken and indicates the possible directions that the revitalization may be taken in.
