Form and function of the Archaeological Reserve building were strictly determined by parameters of founded archaeological substance and historical, architectural and natural context of concrete place in Ostrow Tumski in Poznan, Poland.
The building is to accurately complete the existing background.
The answer is the building hiding a secret at first having been “stolen” from the ground deposits by archaeologists, now possible to discover by everyone.
Crossing following “coats” of building dividing walls and rooms man gets engrossed in time and space to reach the origin of Piast state.
The building has a distinct direction emphasized with elongated walls in accordance with the route of old Ostrow fortifications.
