Water Pavilion
Firm
Type
Several hundred years of history of Chwaliszewo Bend was inseparably
connected with water, but due to the actions undertaken in the 60s of
last century, this relationship has been interrupted. In the past the
old bed of Warta River was associated with the industry, logistics and
defense. Future plans, according to city authorities, are to transform
the area into places with greenery and recreation.The
mission of Water Pavilion project is not to ask questions whether to
restore or not to restore the old course of the river, but rather to
remind the history of this place.Creating Water
Pavilion at the exact place of old Chwaliszewski Bridge is a consistent
implementation of the strategic program for Poznań - "River in the
city." This program aims to create a "River Park" in the old riverbed of
Warta that consists of a square / meeting place allowing organization
of cultural events.
Location of Water Pavilion is not accidental. The concept
is to confront the newly design building with history of the place, in
order to awake the imagination and encourage passer-by to ask questions.
The pavilion is situated on so called “Imperial Route” and will act
as the next stop between City Hall and Ostrow Tumski island, telling the
story of the Warta River - so closely linked with the history of
Poznan.Water Pavilion consists of two overlapping interrelated parts
- exhibition space and a pedestrian bridge linking the old left-bank of
Poznan with Chwaliszewo Island.Important objectives of the project are:1st MEMORY - recall the history of the city along with Chwaliszewo Bend in a way that intrigues and stimulates the imagination,
2nd ANIMATION of the process of revitalizing the old riverbed of Warta River by implication of new features3rd creation of interesting PUBLIC SPACES, exhibitions, meeting places that create platform for interpersonal interaction4th OPENNESS - easy access - enabling the free pedestrian flow.Form of Water Pavilion is an effect of these four assumptions.Water
Pavilion's form is a kind of semiotic sign - its shape refers to the
waves observed on the water and variable silhouette of the river in the
past.The project, by implicating new functions, is
designed to stimulate the process of revitalization of Chwaliszewo Bend.
Partial introduction of water recalls the history of this place and
awakens the imagination of citizens. It shows how bringing river back to
the city can affect its image. The last, but not least part of the
project is its versatility.The bridge is designed in
such a way, that no future reconstruction will be required, if there is a
need of reintroducing big water to complete Chwaliszewo Bend.The
form of the bridge creates an amphitheater open to architectural space
and figuratively on the history of the place. Water is the main
background for the stage where art events may take place- similarly to
the solutions on square Pompidou in Paris and at the Lisbon Expo.
The formation of the amphitheater-shaped bridge will
ensure continuity of the Imperial Route stretching between the Cathedral
and the Old Market, as well as preserve views from Chwaliszewo street
towards the cathedral and the Town Hall.
Water Pavilion is Paweł Garus' diploma project created under the guidance of dr arch. Eugeniusz Skrzypczak.
