Appreciation towards Medusa Group Architects for providing the following description:

项目位于波兰年轻的后工业化城市卡托维兹，由本国建筑工作室Medusa Group设计建造。项目由.KTW办公楼以及First District住宅综合体组成，大胆的设计使建筑撕下了“波兰-底特律效应”的标签，为城市中心注入了新的活力，并获得了国内外的一致好评。卡托维兹市没有一个以工业或劳动力为基础发展出来的明确城市中心，因此面临着世界上许多后工业化城市同样的担忧。幸运的是，例如Medusa Group事务所合伙人Przemo Łukasik等的新时代波兰建筑师正在崛起，当代城市肌理在新一代建筑的承诺下逐渐形成。

Polish-based architectural studio Medusa Group set-up two bold projects in the young post-industrial city Katowice, Poland. Both of them tear off the tag of Polish-Detroit effect. The .KTW office buildings and the First District residential area, giving a leaven to the new city-center, have just been awarded by international audience. Without a clearly urban-defined center, based on industry and hard human work Katowice was facing the same fears as many post-industrial cities worldwide. Fortunately today, thanks to commitment of the new age Polish architects such as Przemo Łukasik from Medusa Group, the city is being born new in modern reality now.

近年来，越来越多的文化建筑在卡托维兹出现，逐渐形成了文化区。由西里西亚博物馆、波兰广播国家交响乐团和国际会议中心组成的文化空间代替了前卡托维兹煤矿产区，进而恢复了城市的活力。这几座公共文化建筑均采用了长方体体量的形式，并形成逐渐增高的动态趋势。如今，Medusa Group事务所则为这一活力区增添了新的篇章。上述公共建筑的形态成为本项目塔楼设计的灵感来源，这一点得到了土生土长的本地建筑师Przemo Łukasik的认可。全新的建筑将进一步补充新兴文化区的功能，为当地市民提供便利。

New cultural buildings have been erected in the recent years in Katowice as an idea called Culture Zone. A revitalized space covering the area of the former ‘Katowice’ coal mine – the Museum of Silesia, the Polish Radio National Symphonic Orchestra and the International Congress Centre. All of them are composed of cuboids, gradually getting higher. Medusa Group wrote the additional chapters to this new hot city story. – We decided to use it as one of the design inspirations in preparing the towers concept – says Przemo Łukasik, who lives his whole life here. The new set-up buildings were supposed to complement the cultural functions of the place.

落成后的.KTW办公综合体晋升为上西里西亚首府最高的建筑，并成为卡托维兹经济活力的标志之一。建筑师希望这些塔楼能够填补卡托维兹文化区缺少的商业活动部分。.KTW办公楼高耸于城市全景之上，成为城市文化区的门户，并赋予了卡托维兹大都市的特征，预示着这座城市今后的蓬勃发展。

.KTW office buildings complex is the highest in the capital of the Upper Silesia becomes one of the signs of the economic energy of Katowice. Architects wanted the towers to complement the unique Katowice Culture Zone with its missing business component. .KTW office buildings, towering over the panorama of the city, become a gateway to this space, give it a metropolitan character and symbolize a good place for development.

“我们保留了该区统一的建筑形式，并为这些塔楼赋予了新功能，最终的成果体现了我们对于西里西亚的认知与印象。简单的建筑形式，与周围的环境形成流畅的衔接，但与此同时，它们彼此之间也碰撞出灵感的火花，迸发出能量与活力。我们的设计旨在于建筑的体量上做文章，将模块相互替换，赋予它们独立的建筑形式。在空间组织方面，我们致力于寻求创新与经典的平衡，以建筑的形式反映并强调出卡托维兹正在经历的阶段性转型。”Przemo Łukasik说道。.KTW办公楼可谓是办公机器与永恒建筑美学的结合，简单与谦逊是其最大的优点与特征。正如阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦所说:“一切都应该尽可能地简单，但不能更简单。”

We have created architecture reserved in its form. We have added the new towers features that enabled a representation of the character we perceive in Silesia. The buildings are simple and easily streamlined with the surroundings, but at the same time they do not lack sparkle, energy and dynamics. We have touched them, displacing the modules against each other and giving them an individual architectural form. We balance at the limits of the classical understanding of composition, which emphasises the stage of transformation Katowice has been undergoing – says Przemo Łukasik, the co-owner od Medusa Group studio, based in Bytom, Silesia. .KTW buildings combine the office machine with elegant, timeless architecture, the strength of which lies in modesty. As said by Albert Einstein: ‘Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.’

First District住宅综合体则为文化区增添了更加人性化的一面。本项目建成之间，该区只有在举行会议、体育赛事、音乐会或展览时才会活跃起来，而平日里几乎都是空闲的。然而建筑师相信，除了举办活动，这个空间还可以为人们提供更多的功能，因此他们决定在这里增添一系列住宅建筑，进而使该区充满活力。

The First District enriches the Culture Zone with such an important element as people. The zone lacked a human factor. It used to be alive only when conferences, sports events, concerts or exhibitions were held. The area was empty on usual days. The designers have been convinced that the space may offer much more, apart from holding events, so they decided to enliven it.

项目位于卡托维兹中心的Góreckiego街，这里也是前“卡托维兹”煤矿的遗址，同时也是城市发展的起始地。这个后工业区在煤炭挖掘工程停止后，成为了Bogucice住宅区和文化区之间的缓冲地带。因此，设计核心旨在将该住宅综合体打造为一处向周围环境开放的新空间，进而将几个不同区域衔接为一个整体。

The First District was created in the heart of Katowice, at Góreckiego Street, on site of the former ‘Katowice’ coal mine, where the city started to develop. This post-industrial area, after the excavation works stopped, is a direct buffer between the existing Bogucice residential district and the Culture Zone. The housing complex as a whole was to create a new space open to the surroundings.

与此同时，Medusa Group事务所还想要在跨区域的尺度上做出杰出的设计，并向大众呈现世界级的建筑。设计的核心目标之一旨在限制建筑总覆盖面积，提供尽可能多的绿色空间。落成后的First District将是当地工业遗址转型的第一步，今后越来越多的新空间将被返回给居民，供居民使用。

At the same time Medusa Group had the ambition to make a design which is exceptional at over-regional scale and presents world-class architecture. The objective of the design was also to limit the gross covered area to provide as much green space as possible. Thus, the First District has commenced the process of accustoming its own industrial heritage of the region and the newly developed space is now available to the residents.

卡托维兹文化区如今已经成为后工业时代地区振兴的典范。随着.KTW办公楼与First District住宅综合体的落成，这里已经转型成为现代化的混合用途空间。优秀的设计使本项目在著名赛事“2022年欧洲房地产奖”波兰地区中拔得头筹，其中.KTW办公楼的获奖类别为：商业高层建筑；First District住宅综合体的获奖类别为：高层住宅建筑。

The Culture Zone has already been an exemplary example of the revitalization of post-industrial areas. With the new .KTW office buildings and the First District it becomes a modern mixed-use space. The .KTW office buildings and the First District are the Polish winners of the prestigious international competition European Property Awards 2022. .KTW is the winner in the Commercial High-rise Architecture category, while the First District is the winner in the Residential High-rise Architecture category.
