Krakow TV ‘Krzemionki’ Hill
Krakow Division of the Polish TV opened in the year 1961, whereby the flagship information programme ‘Krakow Chronicle’ was broadcast since 1966; TV station at the Krzemionki Hill was built in 1968. The complex consists of the main building of cohesive form full of concrete austerity and replete with bris-soleils. All that makes the building very expressive. A glazed passage leads to the dominating TV tower of dynamic expression and characteristic, lofty shape with a well-lit staircase and a set of antennas reminiscent of a bunch of grapes. A commercial building is linked to the tower. It housed a once renowned ‘Mrs. Twardowska’ restaurant, having an adjacent terrace encircled by the verdure of the park surrounding the entire complex. In the ceiling of the passage to that building there are discernible circular recesses with illumination.
