ARCHITECTURE: BAAS ARQUITECTURA, GROUP 5 ARCHITECTS, MAŁECKI DESIGN OFFICE

2013 KATOWICE

The building was designed on a rectangular plan with an internal atrium. On the western side, the building is four-storey, on the southern and eastern side it is two-storey, and on the northern side it is one-storey. Around the inner courtyard are the main rooms of the department: the projection and film room, a two-storey cinema studio surrounded by, among others: an editing studio, a director's room and warehouses. The heart of the building is the part created from the light bulb factory. It is furnished in white and designed as a faculty library with a reading room and mezzanine floor.

The design of the building is reminiscent not only of Silesian townhouses and blocks of flats, but also of the nearby Scientific Information Centre and Academic Library. In addition, it harmonises with the buildings of the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Silesian Museum located in the nearby Culture Zone.
