Płock Gallery of Art

The new headquarters of the Płock Gallery of Art (PGS) is a building open to inhabitants and guests. It is integrated with the urban framework and city system of public spaces. the building of the gallery is open to regular visitors of exhibitions and people rarely interested in art.

The structure of the Płock's center quarters is interrupted and discontinuous. Numerous openings in the frontages give an insight into semi-private quarter quarters. Over the years, this has allowed the development of a characteristic system of pedestrian shortcuts, transitions of quarters. They are the value and potential that we want to use in our project: first, as a pretext to create a small square before entering the Gallery, and secondly - to open two crossings between the streets, leading through the Gallery's lobby.

The entrance square in front of the gallery is a meeting place for the gallery visitors or the starting point of the Gallery's activities around the city. The seat located on a wide ledge of the corner window encourages you to stop and look inside. A similar function has the old entrance to the building: turned into an interior glazed bay window, it allows passers-by to spontaneously "enter" the exhibition without having to enter the building.
