Hilton Wroclaw Poland : Architecture Information

HILTON WROCLAW 2009 Gottesman–Szmelcman Architecture Local architect: Broadway Malyan Polska International Competition | First Prize Mipim Architectural Review Future Project Awards 2008, Leisure and Retail | First Prize Faced with a highly fractured urban environment and encased within a multiplicity of multi-lane roads, our aim is to create an architectural landmark that will re-address the importance of this area within its urban context. The introduction of a bold contemporary building, will act as a generator to the entire area, stimulating development and the re-incorporation of this junction within the urban fiber of the city. This will be one of Wroclaw's iconic landmarks, a symbol of the bold spirit which typifies this particular academic city. The project is a multi- faceted and incorporates a five star Hilton Hotel, serviced suites, a conference center, speciality restaurants, a jazz club, retail and multi media exhibition space. The building itself is envisioned as a free form bridge-like structure that will be clad in Corian. The particular nature of the material enables us to create seamless surfaces and endow the building with luminous and translucent qualities. The project will be completed towards the end of 2010.
