M. Karłowicz Complex of State Music Schools
The complex is an example of post-war, functional Modernism, with individual spatial solutions and likewise interiors. There are two concert halls, both in their original state. The large hall has a top lighting through the densely set skylights, and the small, chamber one with recording studio. In the internal, green and glazed patio there is a modern sculpture depicting a figure in motion. External walls of the main mass have strong vertical articulation, stressed by lesenes between the windows. The main entrance is preceded by a passage under the cantilevered part of the building, supported on six round columns. At the entrance to the foyer of the concert hall there is an original design of the cloakroom and ticket counter. Large scale, ceramic external mosaic is characteristic of the building. Situated at the western wall of the main concert hall, it is kept in autumnal chromatic tones and accompanied by a prominent staircase and a ramp of the side exits.
