Construction. The New Krakow Congress Centre will be ready for meeting planners until 2013 according to Krakow Convention Bureau. Its designers, Ingarden & Ewý – Architects and Arata Isozaki & Associates, put emphasis on the layout meeting the requirements of international convention organisers. The building will stage events for up to 2,000 participants. The centres’s façade will be partly glazed and partly covered with ceramic, limestone, granite and sandstone tiles, with different shades and shapes forming a characteristic mosaic. This solution is to be associated with traditional construction materials used over the centuries in the Wawel Hill. The Congress Centre will add to Krakow’s strong position in the ratings of cities which organize artistic events and conventions. The building has a modern form, yet fits the demanding vicinity of the Wawel Hill and is bound to become the flagship of Krakow’s architecture.
