卡托维兹国际会议中心位于1962年建成的Spodek体育场附近。Spodek在波兰语中是飞碟的意思，Spodek体育馆建成后便成为波兰的标志性建筑。为此建筑师设计全新的卡托维兹国际会议中心时，必须考虑让建筑以谦虚又不失鲜明性的姿态介入城市历史最悠久的场地，同时还要成为城市公共空间的有机部分，能够完美应对户外发生的各种活动以及年度盛典。

The Katowice International Conference Centre project situated nearby the Spodek arena erected in 1962 posed a challenge in both urban planning and architectural terms.

Spodek (meaning “Saucer” in Polish), a building ranked among the finest achievements of Poland’s contemporary architecture, and one of its foremost icons (created by the architects Maciej Gintowt and Maciej Krasiński), a symbol of Katowice and the Upper Silesian region, is an instance of unambiguous architecture with outstanding compositional features, whose value must not be diminished by any new development. But at the same time, both the scale and importance of the proposed new showcase for the city and the region, prompted a quest for an unambiguous, lucid and logical solution integrated into the fabric of this part of the city, dominated by the existing and planned large-scale structures (Spodek Arena, Silesian Museum, Philharmonic Concert Hall).

卡托维兹国际会议中心面积37902平方米，内含8000平米的多功能厅，1200平米的宴会厅，以及600座的礼堂，此外还有共计1650平米面积的18个客房。整个大体量的建筑在完全不影响功能的情况下，造型植入自然地形的要素，让景观中的绿色斜坡蔓延到屋顶，为城市空间创造出更多的绿色，并实现公共空间的和谐。

The general philosophy behind the design was to create a facility with a value created not only by providing functional solutions of a utilitarian nature, but also by creating conditions for its existence within the social space of the city. The Centre building, with its straightforward, distinct and clear-cut form, has been integrated into the public space of the city through links provided along the city’s key axis connecting the “honorary” square in front of Spodek (also the main traffic node of Katowice) and the city’s oldest, historic district of Bogucice. The links are implemented in a two-fold manner: in the form of a public passageway across the main hall and foyer of the Centre (a link to be used especially during open events, such as fairs or exhibitions) and in the form of an external route running over the building roof (green valley), which may be used throughout the year for events such as outdoor exhibitions or happenings.

This philosophy has led to the formation of the building, its core composition elements being the roof (green valley), integrated into a system of land slopes and natural diversity of terrain, and the hall/foyer space below, taking advantage of the ceiling deformation as a unique feature, a negative of the “green valley” form. The structure shaped this way meets both the expectations arising from its importance and prestige, and from the need to make it an inherent part of the landscape surrounding the Spodek Arena, which will remain a dominant landmark within the space of this part of the city.
