The exhibition Patchwork. The Architecture by Jadwiga Grabowska-Hawrylak took place in summer 2016 in the Museum of Architecture in Wroclaw. It was curated by Michal Duda and Malgorzata Devosges. The spatial concept was based on the huge drafting table. The visitors could meander within it thanks to paths not clearly visible at first glance.

The Folds take a simple form of a three-part relief set on the Barbara, changed into meeting place within European Capitol of Culture Wroclaw 2016. In Gilles Deleuze’s evocative conceptualisation, the fold (le plie) is the underlying principle of the construction of the world that pertains to sustained development, change and continuity. The lifting of the ”iron curtain” between the East and the West continues to be an important topic for European societies.

This unique building renovation has been designed under Architecture program of Wrocław 2016 Capital of Culture.

Elevations of the building complex of Nowy Targ were designed in a graphic manner. Monochromatic composition is limited to a play of plans - the white of window niches and loggias contrast with the grey of main surface of the building. Plans are also emphasized by varied depth of window location and simple decoration of black glass tiles. Ground floor surfaces are finished with pebble mozaic distinctive for a given period of time. Glass bricks in the entrance area have been restored and mail boxes have been added. Divisions of display window of newsagent's are based on original appearance of glazing occurring in the complex.

The fountain consists of small fields of grass, glass boxes filled with water and seagrass - all framed by the raster continuation of the square geometry. It refers to the 1960s original architectural design of the place and to the pre war Neptune statue that stood here.

The industrial site for the Street Art Museum is very specific and our main goal is to preserve its unique quality. We have decided to protect the ruins in the state they are now. We find the old industrial buildings perfect environment for Street Art creations.The new architecture has been inserted into the old structure as white cubes containing new programs necessary to run the Museum: cafes, special exhibitions, offices, etc. The main entrance and the gate to the museum is the old pipeline converted into skywalk which can be used for various outdoor activities. We propose not to build a museum but rather to emphasize the charter of the site which already has its identity.
