Warsaw, Citadel
Project: 2010
Area: 1,860 m2
The concept is to create a sunken square that will introduce visitors to the main entrance in an atmosphere of silence and serenity. The gently sloping square symbolically collapses, revealing to us a black slit into which, at its highest point, we enter
the museum. The shape of the silence square fits into the existing surroundings defined by the citadel’s earthen ramparts. The square is cut out of the existing site with a corten band of symbolic significance – bas-reliefs have been placed on the rusted sheet metal to symbolically refer to the remains excavated from the death pits.
