The local experience
The Muzeum Śląskie occupies the site of a former mine in Katowice and combines preserved industrial structures with contemporary architecture. The layout allows you to see how a place of production came to host exhibitions and cultural activities under a different spatial organization.
Nikiszowiec is a working-class district of Katowice built with brick blocks arranged around courtyards. The repetition of forms and access routes between buildings reveal a housing layout tied to the industrial history of Upper Silesia.
