An information centre in Krakow, Grodzka Street.

This very cost effective and very expressive building has been built  a couple of years ago and designed by one of the most popular and influential architects in Poland, Krzystof Ingarden, who graduated from the architecture university in Tokyo, Japan.

This building is a very slender, completely not invasive architecture which had to be made this way for its very noble location in the middle of the historic city Krakow.

For some people it was quite a controversial, for some it is a fine building in a perfect location.
It is designed as only a few meters wide extention to the adjoining, historic building.

I think many people needed an information centre like this, that is a nice arhcitecture and caters the tourist's needs perfectly.
