The object acted as street furniture meant to introduce an element of art into the newly-built \u017babianka housing estate. Originally, the relief was in subdued earth colours, but the \u017babianka Housing Cooperative \u2013 the object\u2019s formal owner \u2013 repainted the relief in colours that are different from the original and incompatible with the artist\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place:<\/strong> \u017babianka was the first housing estate on the Polish coast where urban planners decided to experiment and intersperse grey blocks of flats with artistic installations. Swiet\u0142ana Zerling and artists from the so-called \u201cKadyny\u201d group (Edward Roguszczak, Maria Kuczy\u0144ska, Hanna \u017bu\u0142awska and architect Jacek Krenz) designed an innovative project called \u201cCeramics for Architecture\u201d. It consisted of a fountain, sculptures and reliefs, as well as the spatial and visual concept of squares between buildings (hills, flowerbeds, \u201cIndian village\u201d and \u201cRobinson Crusoe\u201d adventure playgrounds, etc.). Everything was made using natural materials (such as clay and wood), contrasting with dehumanised, prefabricated concrete blocks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information about the author:<\/strong> \u00a0Jacek Krenz, PhD, Arch.
