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<p>The four-bay fa\u00e7ade of the building at 119 Ogarna Street features a decoration consisting of painted geometric forms based on illusory cuboids. The entire composition, through the optical illusion created by the use of closely related shades of blue and grey, evokes the impression of a rising labyrinth. Darker sections are complemented by faintly marked inscriptions, referencing the details once found on the streets of pre-war Gda\u0144sk.<\/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> Daniel \u2018Chazme\u2019 Kali\u0144ski\u00a0graduated from the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at the Warsaw University of Technology.
