Wrocław murals mini-gallery
Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
The article describes the phenomenon of the presence of largeformat wallpainting (murals) in urban space and associated with this phenomenon, the term “plaster” (wall patch) and its role in the changing environment. The study was conducted on the example of one of the city arteries of Wrocław – Wyszyńskiego Street, in which, at a small distance, there are five murals. A detailed analysis of the forming composition as well as the functionalspatial one determines their importance in the context of place and shows their impact on the space in which they exist. The shown characteristics and dependencies occurring between them also allow us to illustrate and explain the fact of existence of an outdoor gallery which they form.
