The investment includes the project of an entrance pavilion with a lift shaft at Secondary School No. 10 in Gliwice. It is an example of a public use facility designed and built to adapt historic school building for the needs of students with physical disabilities. The entrance pavilion is made of reinforced concrete and glass and it is combined with the silver and gray lift shaft. The extension is located in the front courtyard of the school. It was designed according to modern tendency in architecture – doctrine of contrast. Intentionally, the new facility contrasts with the historic building. In our opinion, it is reasonable to distinguish and emphasize the difference of a newly-designed part from the original building for educational reasons. This raises the awareness of consumers (here teenage students) of the constantly occurring changes of civilization- cultural, technical and technological. Architecture is also changed by the time and it should express the contemporary state of civilization, the idea of space and illustrate the technical possibilities. Architecture, as a part of the culture should shape and influence the user’s aesthetic sensitivity which is especially important at young age.
