Wroclaw: the great space of the Centenary Hall

Useful to know

The Centenary Hall in Wrocław was built in 1911-1913 to a design by Max Berg. UNESCO sees it as an important stage in reinforced concrete architecture, with a large circular central space and a dome. [1]

Compare the plan with an inside view up. The central volume is not just a geometric figure on paper: it determines how people perceive the common space. When describing, distinguish the bearing structure from the function of a specific event. A multipurpose room can adopt different arrangements without the basic spatial idea changing.
