In 2016, 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<p>The fa\u00e7ade of the building at 96 Ogarna Street is one of the few that only slightly references historical architecture, featuring only bossage and cornices as decoration. Using materials that evoke historical traditions, the artist created repeating geometric elements placed in the interwindow spaces. Each sequence consists of three rhomboidal quadrilaterals \u2013 one positioned vertically in the centre and two positioned horizontally on either side. The repetition and arrangement of these sequences evoke associations with a cardiogram, a recording of the heart&#8217;s rhythm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>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<p><strong>Information about the author:<\/strong> Pawe\u0142 Mrozek\u00a0graduated in Urban Design and Regional Planning from the Gda\u0144sk University of Technology.
