Object:<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of three historicist fa\u00e7ades covering a block of flats built as part of the post-war reconstruction of Gda\u0144sk. In 2015, the fa\u00e7ade underwent a major refurbishment under the \u2018Gda\u0144skie Fasady OdNowa\u2019 project that aimed to improve the quality of public spaces in G\u0142\u00f3wne Miasto by adding architectural decoration to existing buildings.<\/p>\n

The triaxial eastern fa\u00e7ade of the building at 15\/19A Ogarna St. has been given a decoration that refers to a popular technique used during the historic reconstruction of the G\u0142\u00f3wne Miasto district: the sgraffito. The fields covered by the art form are the strip of inter-window space between the second and third floors; they also surround the window in the gable end of the fa\u00e7ade. Created by the artist, the ornament made up of gears, screw threads and lines creates an abstract composition. The colour scheme is based on warm rusty reds and yellows, which stand out clearly from the bleached colour of the plaster in a pinkish salmon hue.<\/p>\n

Place:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The buildings are in an area designated as a heritage site. They form part of the historic urban layout of the city of Gda\u0144sk. Ogarna Street was destroyed in 1945 during the war. It was rebuilt on the basis of the so-called Zachwatowicz plan that envisaged the reconstruction of historical forms, which was only feasible in the form of a workers\u2019 housing estate. The erected block of flats was covered by a historicist fa\u00e7ade screen. The buildings thus created were the result of combining two houses into a complex with a common staircase, an entrance from the courtyard and an even top line of windows emphasising the block-like nature of the premise. The elevations were not completed with architectural decoration.<\/p>\n
