Pl. Defilad fills with poles

Architecture and urban planning
POLAND As part of the Warsaw under Construction Festival, eight 26m steel poles have been placed around pl. Defilad square in Warsaw to delineate the outline of the future pl. Centralny square.
This is the first such installation in Poland and it is being used to represent the future façades of the TR Warszawa theatre, the Museum of Modern Art and the future buildings to the south of the square allowing residents to see the proposed development in real scale. This is the first time such a Baugespann installation has been used in Warsaw and in Poland. Baugespanns are a Swiss invention that allow a mock-up of a building to be erected before an official building permit is granted. Swiss
