Xylopolis featured a painting by Leon Tarasiewicz, painted on the premises of the Unihouse S.A. plant, a company producing multi-family buildings from timber frame modules. The work, depicting a forest and the play of light at different times, was created over two weeks and is the largest work the professor has ever painted on canvas.

- co-organisation of the nationwide “Wood in Architecture” competition, promoting architecture using wood as a building material. The main organiser of the competition is the Faculty of Architecture at the Białystok University of Technology, and it is aimed at students and graduates of architecture faculties at all Polish universities. The aim of the competition is to promote wooden architecture and make modern and green construction fashionable.
