Train station
architect. Arseniusz Romanowicz and Piotr Szymaniak
finished. 1963
The station serves the dual purpose of serving as a terminal for train passengers as well as connecting the top and bottom of the Skarpa (bluff) for pedestrians. It's an effective urban trick, the long train platform breaks up the 100 steps you have to climb to get to the center of the city from Powisle. The architecture is definately worth noting. The ticket booths at the top and bottom of the bluff are dynamic and eye-catching. While the geometric roof structures along the platform itself are not only sculputural; their form, use and structure integrated into an elegant piece of architecture.
