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

A historicist fa\u00e7ade aligned with the ridge to Szeroka Street, covering a block of flats that was built as part of the post-war reconstruction of Gda\u0144sk. In 2018, the fa\u00e7ade underwent a major refurbishment as part of the \u2018Gda\u0144skie Fasady OdNowa\u2019 project, which aimed to improve the quality of the public spaces of the G\u0142\u00f3wne Miasto by adding architectural decoration to existing buildings that were omitted during Gda\u0144sk\u2019s reconstruction.<\/p>\n

The decoration of the corner building is on the fa\u00e7ade facing Szeroka Street. The intervention covers the space between the third and fourth floors, parallel to the arcade on its western side. The work depicts a mosaic in the shape of a multicoloured nautilus inverted in a vertical plane relative to the developed, painterly multiplied Fibonacci sequences. The artist\u2019s aim was to show the maritime character of the city while highlighting the influence of mathematics on the natural sciences and the arts.<\/p>\n

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

The building is located in an area designated as a heritage site. It forms part of the historic urban layout of Gda\u0144sk. Szeroka Street was destroyed in 1945 during World War II. Most of the tenement houses were rebuilt without respecting the historical layout. Historic remnants can only be seen in the distinction of the separate fa\u00e7ades with gables and in the ridge layout perpendicular to the street. The height and width of the buildings were standardised, and consequently, the historic parcelling was not maintained. Retail and service units were located in the ground floor. Szeroka Street acts as a boundary between the historicising reconstruction and modern development: a place where the two ways of post-war reconstruction intertwine.<\/p>\n
