The Katowice conference centre is a multifunctional, complex service facility designed for congress, conference, exhibition, fair and performance. However, it also has an area which is fully available for the public \u2013 it is a green passage which goes diagonally through the building\u2019s roof where it takes on the shape of a valley, as well as the main foyer \u2013 the connecting area between two entrances: from the Honour Square\u2019s side (in front of the Spodek arena complex) and the second from the side of Olimpijska Street (which is under design). Marking these spaces as public is a vital city-forming element for a post-industrial area where the MCK complex was designed. The general idea of the project was creating a complex of which the value is being built not only by assuring programmatically-functional utilitarian solutions, but also by creating conditions for its cooperation in the city\u2019s social space. The edifice with its simple, distinctive and explicit form is integrated into city\u2019s public space. The idea has led to formation of a device which consists of the following compositional elements: the roof (the \u201cgreen valley\u201d) integrated into the system of terrain escarpments and naturally diverse area, and the space of the hall and foyer which is situated below and looks unique because of its ceiling deformation, a negative form of the \u201cgreen valley\u201d.<\/p>\n
