The local context

Contemporary in Warsaw

Warsaw's 2 Contemporary buildings bracket the city's post-transition architectural ambitions. Stefan Kuryłowicz's Wolf Bracka — a glass-and-steel commercial tower — represents the transparency and structural lightness that defined Poland's integration into the European architectural mainstream. Its glazed facade engages with the streetscape rather than retreating behind setbacks.

Wojciech Kuryłowicz and Andrzej Mikulski's Temple of Divine Providence takes a radically different approach: a monumental sacred building that draws on historical precedent while deploying contemporary engineering and materials. The contrast between these two buildings — commercial glass tower and stone-clad temple — captures the pluralism of Warsaw's 21st-century architectural identity.
