For this years edition of the “concrete Tyle contest” I was invited to be a member of the Jury. This yearly contest is organized by Michał Spadziński and Dominik Tokarski. The goal is to choose the worst new architectural project realized in the passed year. Dominik and Michal made a selection seven most bad creations or modifications done in the year 2009. After a advanced lecture about all the seven nominees it was the job of the jury to eliminate, discuss and choose. It was a huge pleasure, fun and sometimes kind of sad making to discuss there projects realized here in Katowice and around.
After two ours we choose our number one, the reconstruction of the Library + Galery in Bytom. A beautiful building, which wasn’t the best state it could be in, got completely destroyed by a reconstruction that turned to building into a cheap bank building with hospital details. On the second place ended a complete new building build in Gliwice, not more than 200 meters from the historical city center. Third place was for this Led Screen beautifully connected to this historical architecture.
