Object:<\/strong> The fa\u00e7ade covers a residential block constructed as part of Gda\u0144sk’s post-war reconstruction. In 2013, it underwent a complete renovation as part of the \u2018Gda\u0144skie Fasady OdNowa\u2019 project, aimed at improving the quality of public spaces in the Main Town by adding architectural decorations to buildings that had been overlooked during Gda\u0144sk\u2019s reconstruction.<\/p>\n

Czteroosiowa elewacja budynku przy ul. The four-bay fa\u00e7ade of the building at 120 Ogarna Street features a painted decoration based on a fractal, self-similar composition. Its starting point is the stepped gable of the fa\u00e7ade, with the portal cornice marking its lower boundary. The ornament takes on an apparently organic pattern reminiscent of neural tissue but is, in fact, grounded in geometry. It spreads across the surface, forming architectural elements that were missing during the post-war reconstruction\u2014such as panels and window frames. The yellow-and-violet composition is set against a plaster background tinted red.<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong> 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

Information about the author:<\/strong> Krzysztof “Proembrion” Syru\u0107 is a graduate of the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at Gda\u0144sk University of Technology, where he earned his degree in 2011. A graffiti artist since 1996, since 2002 he has been creating his works, including large-scale murals, without preliminary sketches. He is the author of the Blurve<\/em> and TCNN<\/em> graphic algorithms, and in 2012, drawing on his experience with algorithm development, he discovered discrete compositions within sequences of natural numbers. Syru\u0107 has made numerous murals in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a and is a representative of surrealist abstractionism. Currently, his work focuses on the interplay of colour and mathematics.<\/p>\n
