Karowa 18a


architect. Jerzy Kuźmienko, Henryk Dąbrowski, Janusz Nowak, Piotr Sembrat, Adam Snopek
finished. 1970

These architects are also responsible for Kozia 9 and Sobieskiego 100, pretty brutalist stuff, the latter.This building is surprising because it's an infill right off of Krakowskie Przedmiescie a historical reconstruction. The street is perpendicular to the bluff, very steep. I like the building for its dramatic geometry that somehow manages not to be overbearing and while remaining different from the surroundigs the building in no way dominates them.
