2° Prize - Category Shopping and office centres (large surfaces)
Boleslaw Stelmach - Stelmach i Partnerzy Biuro Architektoniczne Sp. Zo.o.
Zamkowe Tarasy Gallery, Lublin (Polonia)
Located in an area of historical interest, the project brilliantly
addresses the issue of environmental impact by employing an original
underground solution whereby the traditional image of the shopping
centre is transformed into a sort of green hill resting on a ceramic
base. The porcelain stoneware surface of the external flooring,
which features sophisticated geometric lines and the elegant colour
contrast of black and white, creates a feeling of stability: it is a bold
compositional element, one that defines walkways, relaxation areas
and distribution spaces.
