Building of centre of arts as a part of environmental restoration of urban river in the metropolitan region of wroclaw

Abstract

This project aims to expand one´s understanding of environmental discourses and practices in the river site area of Wroclaw city by introducing public culture facilities. Wroclaw´s river scape with its impressive scale and the spacious grand of beside architecture makes one feel esthetically amazed with profound and lasting effect. Over the course of hundreds of years Odra river with its history and beauty came to play a central role in Wrocław’s city scape. I have chosen the project of museum located at the imposing river site island area which over the years constituted an interesting case study in Wroclaw´s cityscape . Driven by multitude of reasons many urban dwellers tend to gather in rest areas whose city identity is strongly associated with water. The crucial aim for my further work will be the project that physically embodies a wide variety of uses of the river site area that will enrich and compositionally unite the city panorama with emphasis on the dimensions of community and environmental contexts of public spaces. The project of the centre of arts will enrich urban water scape, by focusing on the interrelations between environmental structure and urban. The design will involve public space which gives the visitor an opportunity to experience the wide range of programs available as well as the appreciation of the views available. What is more the project will consider measures that should be implemented in the city planning in order to improve the river policies.
