‘Biprocemwap’ (Office Building of the Construction Industry)
The building is considered as the most ‘Corbusian’ in Krakow, with its slightly curving main mass, supported by widening ‘pilotis’, with free space at the ground floor and light pavilion-like addition above the last office floor. The pavilion is covered by a broken-line, polygonal roof slab, which enhances the overall lightness of the form. Staircase in the main hall, connecting the ground floor with the first one, is also very characteristic, with its beautiful dynamic spatial shape, winding and rising around the central column. Elevations are adequate to the building’s purpose and the recessing of the structure from the face of the wall allowed for its free shape. Rhythm of divisions was obtained by means of prefabricated ferro-concrete lintels and blue colour. Each elevation was composed individually.
