Abstracts

The political consequences of the 2nd World War resulted in part of Upper Silesia being taken over by the Polish administration. It required a new building to house the provincial administration office and the Silesian Assembly. The architects from Cracov designed a building of monumental mass decorated with symbols of nationality and the power of state. The building of the Office was to become a landmark of the new Silesian province and a clear sign of its national status and historical background.
