Rebirth of postidustrial architecture in polish towns. Adaptation of a historic building of a power station into a modern art galery in Radom
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 9
Abstract
The transformation of city centres in Poland has taken various forms over the last 20 years. The specificity of the physiognomy and historic-spatial conditions imposes a certain direction of those transformations. They shape the public space of the modern towns and cities starts with glass-sky-scrapers to various forms of revitalisation of old buildings. More and more frequently, the space is enliven with splendor of newly revived industrial facilities. The adaptation of the existing industrial facilities to new functions creates new cultural space thanks to their individual and unique quality.<br/><br/>
