CAMPUS OF JAN KOCHANOWSKI UNIVERSITY, CAMPUS OF KIELCE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY – CREATION OF ACADEMIC PUBLIC SPACE IN KIELCE. PART 2

JANUSZ PACHOWSKI

Subject matter of social space in public institutions has already been inside my range of interest for a long time. This subject matter has been raised in my book titled Atrium. Social space in a multifunctional building, published in 2002. Atrium as a specific form of social space is a public element of the city involved inside the building. Creation of an appropriate social climate should be a priority during construction of a glazed foyer. This effect can be achieved with solution esthetics appropriate interior design an interesting cultural programme. Social space can be designed in a very different way. It can be in the form of an atrium, mall or foyer facing different directions of environment. Due to view connections and interesting programme these spaces are very eagerly visited. Transparency and availability provide constant interest in this area.
