Using a material that refers to historical traditions, the author created repetitive geometric elements placed in the inter-window space. Each sequence, a separate one in each inter-storey belt, is built up of geometric forms, a variation based on the rhombus shape.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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<p><strong>Information about the author: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pawe\u0142 Mrozek <\/strong>graduated in Urban Design and Regional Planning from the Gda\u0144sk University of Technology.
