ARCHIGLASS by Urbanowicz
Beer Brewing | Holsten Brewery | Hamburg | Germany Beer Brewing | Holsten Brewery | Hamburg | Germany The Holsten Brewery was founded in 1879 in Hamburg, and at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries it became the largest in Germany. The glass art compositions in the reception hall of the Hamburg headquarters refer to the original ideas of beer brewing process, hence the colors of barle and hops. The coherent, holistic installation, together with the reflection in the floor, creates a unique character of the interior and introduces a touch of visual identification. #beer #beerbrewing #brewery #brewing #brewingbeer #inspiration #beerinspiration #reception #lobby #featurewall #featurewall #glassart #glassartist #glasswalls #glasswallart #glassbottle
Baroque Glass | Uniwersytet Wrocławski | Poland Baroque Glass | Uniwersytet Wrocławski | Poland Visitors enter the historic Main Building of the @uniwersytet_wroclawski at 1 Uniwersytecki Square through an ornate Baroque entrance portal, complete with an overhanging balcony and massive wrought-iron doors. Inside, they find themselves in a grand Baroque hall with a ceremonial staircase leading up to the famous Leopoldina Hall and further to the Mathematical Tower. Every tourist visiting Wrocław is bound to stop here. For this reason, the need arose to create a ticket and information point for guests. The challenging task of integrating contemporary functions into this Baroque interior was successfully undertaken by architect Anna Morasiewicz of the Linea Architectural Studio, who invited Tomasz Urbanowicz to collaborate. The information and ticket counters were placed within two window recesses. Urbanowicz, inspired by the Baroque style, designed and cast contemporary-looking glass works that harmonize with the surrounding historical architecture. By introducing this modern design gesture, the entrance hall now effectively serves its new role while respecting the integrity of the heritage site. #baroque #baroqueart #baroquestyle #visitwroclaw #visitwrocław #wroclaw #wroclove #wrocław #wroclovers #barok
Karkonosze Museum | Jelenia Góra | Poland The Ka Karkonosze Museum | Jelenia Góra | Poland The Karkonosze Museum in Jelenia Góra boasts the largest collection of contemporary artistic glass in Poland. A beautiful exhibition of these collections became possible thanks to the modernization and expansion carried out based on a design by Dr. Arch. Marek Skorupski from Arch-E Design Studio. In the new entrance hall, Tomasz Urbanowicz installed his specially designed reception furniture piece. It’s a bold form, resembling a stealth military aircraft, with a natural “floating in the air” stone countertop made of slate named “Roma,” supported solely by sculpted glass legs. These glass elements at the entrance set the tone for the fascinating journey into the world of artistic glass awaiting visitors in the museum. The museum's collection also includes other works by Urbanowicz: a glass bear from EXPO 2000 in Hanover, a powerful glass disc titled “20512 Aosta Valley 2012 Gresoney” located outside the entrance, the composition “Karpacz-Wang” from 2012, and several watercolor design sketches. #glassmuseum #artist #glassartist #glassartwork #glassartists #GlassArtistry #glassartistry #glasstable #glasstables #glassart
Palace in Opypy | @palacczosnowskich | Poland The Palace in Opypy | @palacczosnowskich | Poland The palace near Grodzisk Mazowiecki experienced two periods of flourishing in its history. The first was around 1900, when it was rebuilt in a 19th-century park for Maria Klementyna Colonna Czosnowska. The second came after many twists of fate, when it came under the ownership of the Fortalicja Czemierniki Foundation. A thorough renovation in 2000, driven by the vision and ambition of a private investor and collaborating architects — from “Studio Projektowe i Wzorcownia – Narada,” Wiesław Michałek, and Dr. Arch. Katarzyna Jucha — allowed for the integration of a significant amount of artistic glass by Tomasz Urbanowicz. Thick and raw glass castings serve as self-supporting balustrades, partitions, artworks, enormous bathroom doors (weighing 400 kg), and even a floor lit from below — allowing you to walk on it as if you were Jesus walking on water… ;-) #balustrade #BalustradeDesign #glassbalustrade #railing #railings #railingdesign #railingsystems #balustrades #glasswall #glasswalls #glassdoor #glassdoors #glassdoordesign
Paris | Michel Moran | Bistro de Paris | Warsaw C Paris | Michel Moran | Bistro de Paris | Warsaw Compositions featuring Parisian views set the mood for the interior of the restaurant, designed by architect Magdalena Smyk from GGP Architekci. Tomasz Urbanowicz studied the most iconic architectural motifs of Paris, resulting in watercolor designs that became the basis for deep relief glass pieces, colored in purple and burgundy with gold and silver oxides, featuring motifs such as Sacré-Cœur, Notre Dame, the Champs-Élysées, the Eiffel Tower, and more. The artistic glass panels divide the space, adding intimacy to each of the distinct areas. #paris #sztuka #art #artglass #glasspainting #sztukawspółczesna #paryskistyl #glasswall #publicart #artist #art_spotlight #artistsoninstagram
Electricity | Faculty of Electrical Engineering | Electricity | Faculty of Electrical Engineering | @politechnika_wroclawska The glass design for the Faculty of Electrical Engineering building, constructed based on a design by architects Ewa Frankiewicz and Adam Winiarski, includes glass feature walls for the main lobby as well as an integrated glass composition within the furniture. The green cast glass features original artistic interpretations of electricity—unique visions related to low and medium voltage currents, and… natural electric discharge – lightning. The project was awarded in the Maciej Nowicki Prize competition "Color in Architecture" for innovative solutions in Polish architecture. #colorinarchitecture #electricity #art #bespoke #BespokeArt #bespokeart #bespokeartist #bespokeartwork #sitespecific #artwork #artwork🎨 #artworkoftheday

Ostrów Tumski | T. Marciniak Lower Silesian Speci Ostrów Tumski | T. Marciniak Lower Silesian Specialist Hospital | Wrocław | Poland Architect Joanna Styrylska from @isba_grupa_projektowa, responsible for interior design of the lobby and chapel, wanted to ensure that the hospital would offer something for the soul as well – artistic glass compositions by Tomasz Urbanowicz. In the monochromatic lobby interior, aligned with the entrance axis, Urbanowicz designed and created a large-scale colorful glass piece featuring a Wrocław motif – Ostrów Tumski reflected in water. In the upstairs chapel, he installed a honey-colored glass composition in the only window, featuring a motif from Lower Silesia – a Penitential Cross. #healingart #healingartist #healingartists #healingartwork #healingartclinic #art #artwork #artist #glassart #glassartist #publicart #cityscape #cityscapeart #cityscapeart #glass
Sunny Thermal Baths | Polanica-Zdrój | Poland In Sunny Thermal Baths | Polanica-Zdrój | Poland In the very heart of the Zdrojowy Park in Polanica-Zdrój, on the site of the former boiler house, the "Sunny Thermal Baths Wielka Pieniawa" were created, based on a design by Versus Design Studio. The complex includes, among other things, swimming pools, jacuzzis, and a SPA center.
