The design of the Faculty of Law and Administration was an attempt to fit into the historical context while respecting the size of the surrounding development, dominated by the University edifice. We refrained from the banal imitation of historical forms following our conviction that architecture, even when treated as a background to urban activities, should be built using forms characteristic of the time when it is created. In shaping the body, interiors and details of the building, we referred to the rich tradition of Wrocław’s modernism. A compromise was reached between the representational character of a public building and the simplicity and functionality of an educational institution.
