Museum of Fire in Zory, Architectural museum in Żory, Poland
The Museum of Fire features three overlapping walls covered in copper plates, with large glass entrances positioned between the structural elements.
The museum commemorates the origins of Żory from the 12th century, when forest lands were cleared by fire to establish the settlement.
The building design reflects the meaning of Żory in old Polish language, which translates to fire, through its flame-like architectural elements.
Visitors can explore the ground floor reception area, multifunctional hall, and underground exhibition space connected by black stone pathways.
The exterior copper panels create different reflections throughout the day while the irregular structure adapts to the underground infrastructure constraints.
