Renovation of the Centennial Hall

A major renovation of the Centennial Hall in Wrocław, conducted between 2009 and 2011, successfully preserved its historical integrity while adapting it to modern public building standards. The study highlights the use of remedial technologies that prioritized maintaining the authenticity of original materials, such as reinforced concrete, ensuring the building's longevity without compromising its architectural significance. Designed by Max Berg in 1911-1913, the Centennial Hall is renowned for its pioneering ribbed dome, which was the largest in the world at the time and set a precedent for modernist architecture. The renovation process addressed challenges posed by the building's precursor construction solutions, reinforcing its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a landmark of 20th-century architectural innovation.
