The Centre of This World Giszowiec Park
Keywords:
park, Giszowiec, the Silesian Forest, Garden city, umbrella settlementAbstract
The paper provides an attempt at reincorporating Giszowiec Park in the wider context of the Silesian Forest and locating the mining settlement somehow around the park centre. The idea is connected with the obelisk, which is centrally located in Giszowiec Park and constitutes a geometrical centre of the estate, constructed on a square plan, with a one-kilometre long side. Giszowiec, intended to be a colony, a miners’ village, has a chance for a second life in the age of the restructuring of the mining sector due to its sophisticated composition, whose heart is the park, forming a part of the old forest.
