The idea of the project is based on creating a space that enables interaction with the heritage and symbolism of the place, which is shaped by: the Road to Freedom, the Gate of the Gdańsk Shipyard, the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers of 1970, the BHP Hall, and the European Solidarity Centre. In contrast to the symbolism and expression of the architecture of the European Solidarity Centre— which is inspired by the shipyard and the history of protests, using hard and raw materials— the Paweł Adamowicz Civic Centre is intended to be built from light, transparent, and openwork materials, symbolizing openness to the peaceful activities of Gdańsk’s community. The angled cut of the western façade allows access to the building’s roof while not overshadowing or competing with the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers. This ensures the monument remains well-exposed along the visual axis leading from the Montownia side. The south-western façade, designed as terraces, also allows the historic Gate of the Gdańsk Shipyard to be harmoniously integrated into the surroundings of the new building, preventing it from being overwhelmed by the structure’s larger volume. In this way, the gate becomes an integral part of the space around the Civic Centre, emphasizing its importance within the historical context of the site.
