The two main poles of the project are development and participation.

Development is important, especially in this area, which is supposed to be able to change

and adapt to new conditions, mostly lead by public needs. Placed in the heart of Gdynia harbour area, influenced by these circumstances it becomes quite obvious to design functions

that fit well into this environment, but at the same time are able to develop on their own

to fulfill the needs of the users of those functions.

That is the point where we reach the second pole of the concept. For visitors the harbour area

normally is a foreign place with its own rules and behaviour. To get them there and make them

wanting to come back it needs more than one function. For this is one thing more important

than anything else: participation.

By letting people participate in the processes, which are needed to make such a project

possible and successful, they gain more than products or services.

They gain a high level of identification, not only with the building itself but with

the whole harbour and the characterristics of that area.
