Description
Kielce’s famous bus station glitters once again after an extensive refurbishment. The striking building was designed as an “UFO” by the famous Polish Architect Edward Modrzejewski. Originally opened in 1984, it was designed to accommodate 1,500 buses and 24,000 passengers a day. Now a listed tourist attraction, it is considered one of the most valuable architectural designs of the 1970s and 1980s in Poland and a modern Polish cultural heritage site.
While the interior was completely redesigned with the use of fire rated glass CONTRAFLAM® STRUCTURE 30, the building retained its UFO shape.The façade was newly glazed with more than 500 m2 of SAGEGLASS® Classic DGU. The innovative technology of smart glass helped to preserve the original aesthetics. Thus, the characteristic circular skylights and cosmic outlines could be preserved to the original.
