Poland’s Museum Of Fire

The façade of a community building in Poland, designed by OVO Grąbczewscy Architekci, has been constructed from reflective copper to create the appearance of flames.

This new centre has been constructed in the city of Żory in Southern Poland. The concept of fire was derived from the burning of forests to create space for the early Slavic settlement.

Due to the irregular shape of the land, the building’s structure resembles dancing flames, which is fitting to the city’s history, while the ridged copper creates vivid reflections.

Not only a community centre, the Museum of Fire also hosts history exhibitions and houses tourist information about Poland.
