Column

The Column is an additional element of the architectural construction, which is easily recognisable as artificial. It hints at its importance in supporting the construction of the edifice and somehow suggests that the Chemistry Auditorium could be a living organism, which produces new elements (strata) to guarantee its survival.

The special material used to build the object – polyurethane foam, the “essence” of chemistry and one of the most important developments in the field, which has become an inherent part of our daily existence – originated in places such as the Faculty of Chemistry.
