Description:

The seaside part of Orłowo in the interwar period was intended to compete with the nearby Sopot, with streets leading to the sea, elegant villas and guest houses among the greenery, full of holidaymakers thirsty for the view of the Polish Baltic Sea. Those buildings were erected according to the most fashionable architectural trends of the time, with the dominant role of modernism; and some of them created patterns that were later repeated in many districts of Gdynia. On 3 May we would like you to join another walk along the streets of Orłowo, this time focusing on the summer purpose of the district, where we will look at the architectural impact made by popular Gdynia architects, such as Stanisław Żwirski, Leon Mazalon and Zygmunt Andruszkiewicz, as well as by less known creators, such as Izydor Gałęzewski or Stanisław Janicki.
