Archi Detail part 3: Architecture tour "Secrets of the interior and the architectural details of BANKOWIEC"
Join us for a special edition of a tour inside "BANKOWIEC" - the jewel of Gdynia's modernism - where we will reach the spots, nooks and crannies previously available to conservators and building managers only. The guide and narrator of the tour will be Maria Piradoff-Link, the curator of the Mini Museum, the researcher of the history of details and technical equipment of the BANKOWEC complex. In addition to the most valuable details and preserved elements of the apartment furnishings and equipment, we will also reach the technical rooms with a preserved mechanical ventilation system of the garage, the room of the pre-war laundry room with a mangle, a sink, and tables, and we will also have a look at the unique structure of the gazebo from the upper floors. While visiting some of the staircases, we will learn about the aesthetic and colour nuances of the design of the terrazzo – preserved in excellent condition. The in situ story will be combined with the presentation of the reprints of pre-war catalogues of interior design elements, collected over the years by Maria Piradoff-Link.
