The project of the cultural center is, on the one hand, an attempt to create a modern cultural and educational building friendly to the inhabitants of Srodmiescie neighborhood, and on the other, an attempt to organize the chaotic urban fabric, respecting the context of both the historic Nożyk Synagogue and the modernist blocks of flats, dominating the area.

One of the main design challenges was to place a new volume into the existing context of the housing estate behind of OZZB. In the urban sense, the shape of the building was reduced to the abstract – a rectangular square-shaped base, reminiscent of form and dimensions of service buildings created in the spirit of social-modernism. A building characterized by simple articulation gives the impression of a free-standing sculpture immersed in greenery.

In the architectural sense, the building uses many quotes from classical modernism – such as the mass supported on the pillars (the zone of the main entrance with arcades from the square in front of the Nożyk synagogue), or a open garden on the roof of the building. At the same time, we tried to enrich the architectonic language of the building with borrowings from later experiences, often critical of modernism itself.
