It is fair to start with some historical background, recalling the architecture of Gdynia being the pioneer of Modernism in Poland.
Today, Gdynia is an important port city as well as a seaside resort situated in the Gdansk Bay, on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea.
During the intensive rebuilding of the economy after the First World War, a major decision has been made on the construction of the port.
In the 20’s and 30’s, the port and entire city were built from scratch, in the place of a fishermen´s village, by the best Polish architects and engineers. They aimed to build comfortable, spacious and functional apartments full of light, creating modern architecture that refers to the best examples around the world. It was something unique in the scale of Europe, especially given the remarkable pace of work.
Since then, successive generations of architects have continued the modernist traditions of their predecessors.
