An Architectural Wonder in Wrocław

nawa_01

Located on one of the islands in the historic downtown area of Wrocław, this public sculpture by Oskar Zieta reflects the shape of the island on which it rests and serves as a nod to the nearby architecture of Ostrów Tumski. Dubbed NAWA, the design consists of individual arches made from sheet metal welded at the edges and then inflated to create the 3D form seen here. Its rippled surface is also made to resemble the surrounding waterscape for which the area is known.

Designer: Oskar Zieta
