ABSTRACT

The Four Domes Pavilion in Wroclaw was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. The pavilion was entered into the register of historical objects in 1977, and in 2006 added to the UNESCO World Heritage List along with the Centennial Hall. In 1912, in the eastern part of Wroclaw, the architect Hans Poelzig designed a set of objects on the fairground, the direct proximity of the Centennial Hall, Japanese Garden and Pergola. In August 1912 the company Schlesische Beton Baugesellschaft initiated construction works. In October 1912, the architect was asked to make changes in the design of the main dome hall in the north wing. A historical and architectural study shows that all changes which occurred during the realization of the works resulted from: a lack of time, delays in carrying out static assessment, project blueprints being handed over in an inappropriate scale, or construction being carried out in the winter.
