自从30年前共产主义在波兰崩溃以来，华沙市中心已经成为各种迅速扩张的办公楼的试验田。与此同时，公共空间看似停滞不前，并没有因该地区巨大的规模和曾经的社会主义形式而得到发展。直至最近，一系列新的公共投资才将新项目引入市中心，激发了该地区的活力和居住潜力。

Since the collapse of communism thirty years ago, Warsaw’s hyper-centre has become a testing ground for all sorts of rapidly expanding corporate architectures. At the same time, public space seems to have been frozen and barely evolved in its monumental scale and socialist form. It is only recently that a series of new public investments intends to bring new programs to the city centre, igniting the potential to activate and inhabit it.

设计师在石砌公共空间和遥远的玻璃天际线之间建立连接，回应了周围环境。该项目是由木材制成的水平摩天楼，上面设置一系列公共设施。它利用了可用空间，与周围的天际线产生对话。

In reaction to this context, we thought about building an interface between the stone clad public spaces and the inaccessible glass skyline. We have designed a horizontal skyscraper, made of wood and composed of public amenities. The project takes advantage of the available space and enters a formal dialogue with the surrounding skyline.

细长灰色木甲板的形体、颜色和尺度与周围办公楼相协调，补充了该城市环境的公共职能。平台邻近苏联风的华沙科学文化宫，类似于大的木甲板，尺寸为80x20m，是简约且有组织的公共空间。它像一条平静的木筏，浮在不断移动和变化的城市的喧嚣之上。

The greyish wooden decking in the shape of an elongated rectangle – with its geometry, color and scale – corresponds with the surrounding office buildings, complementing the corporate urban context with public functions. The platform, located in proximity to the soviet-style Palace of Culture and Science, resembles a large wooden deck (80x20m) and serves as a minimalistic, organized public space. It hangs above the noise of the constantly moving, changing city like a calm wooden raft.
