AS WE SPEAK

The idea of the project was to create a language museum and, at the same time, to connect this museum with the history of the Esperanto language, which has its roots and history in Bialystok. Since there are seven groups of languages out of which Esperanto was created, tree trunks have emerged from the ground, representing a solid base and roots that are also rooted somewhere in each of these groups. On the trunks, canopy trees with the shape of a cube, but in organic design, symbolising the recognition of particular languages, have been erected. In the individual tubes, the didactic history and development of each language will be shown, together with audio samples. An integral part is the background of the object and a two-storey café also of organic shape. This whole concept is connected by a bridge that goes around all the tubes. The bridging is strictly regular because it is meant to interpret the human quest for mutual self-knowledge and the interconnection of different groups. Like the journey across this bridge, it can give us direction and be useful in knowing and understanding languages other than its mother tongue.

The object occupies almost the entire plot of land in an optical space, but was designed with the emphasis on the highest possible degree of public space construction achieved by raising the exhibition part of the object to posts representing tree trunks, thus adding to the pleasant atmosphere beneath the whole object. For ease of movement and along the land, walkways have been designed that intersect. At the same time, the museum ’ s object retains its main lines from the road where the two tubby tops are in one line and the edge of the café is parallel to the road and from the northwest is a parallel bridge line with adjacent land. The object is located near the center of the city, which brings to the future the potential for more visitors.

Before this concept evolved into this form, as we can see, it went down a long road, but it was slowly going and evolving continuously with time into this form. At first, it was thought to have a U-shaped concept in the corner of the south-west side of the ground from which the tunnel came, with seven prisms reaching to the ground. There was a hole in the floor in each tube, where the ground floor was supposed to be projected. Later, two cubes were added instead of a subtle corner, but the tubs reaching for the ground remained. The next steps were to look for the correct location of the individual tubes and the bridging within the plot. The next was to drop the tubes reaching down to the ground and open the entire property to the public. The last was the need to fine-tune the design of the entire facility. Several variants and combinations of regular large cubes were used, with a combination of them, several variants of bridging design and a single diagonal width on the prisoner, and the question of pulleys was discussed. In the end, the whole concept was put together into just two kinds of design, which created a pleasant, unimpeachable impression.

The design of the object was inspired by an unconventional solution in the form of an exoskeleton, following the Hadid example, which was one of the first to use this type of construction. It's a very technical design, but it's very impressive with its design. The greatest interest was to create a natural theme and thus to refer to the link between man and nature, where every single language of the world was born. And as one of the other symbols on this object is the use of a wooden exoskeleton, because trees also have a certain type of communication with each other. The basis of this claim is a scientific study. At the same time, it should be pointed out that it is not always necessary to build simply on concrete, but also to point out the existence of softer and greener materials.
