Description
Line-base house is the only building in Wroclaw not erected in a traditional way – from the bottom to the top, but on the contrary, from the top to the bottom. It results from its non-standard experimental and innovative construction of that time. The flat floors were hung on steel current-carrying lines attached to the central reinforced concrete base. Individual floors were built on the ground and by means of hydraulic engines lifted at an appropriate height. An open ground floor provides the building with lightness and creates the illusion of a high-rise building above the street level.
Architect(s): Jacek Burzynski, Andrzej Skorupa
