In 2018, the fa\u00e7ade underwent a major refurbishment under the \u2018Gda\u0144skie Fasady OdNowa\u2019 project, which aimed to improve the quality of public spaces in G\u0142\u00f3wne Miasto by adding architectural decoration to existing buildings that were omitted during Gda\u0144sk\u2019s reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>The decoration of the corner building is on the fa\u00e7ade facing Powro\u017anicza Street. The intervention covers the space of the standing hexagon spanning the second and fourth floors on the northern part of the elevation. The painting depicts small squares in an illusionistic manner. Thanks to the way they are arranged and to the colour range starting from the beige hue of the plaster, these squares form crosses. Smaller yellow crosses were placed in the central part of each.<\/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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information about the author:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Micha\u0142 Wirtel <\/strong>graduated from the Faculty of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gda\u0144sk.
