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.
