"Inspired in part by residential blocks of beautiful Paris, Pawlu limited between 1894 and 1915 square Tivoli circuit by four residential blocks. They still evoke strong impressions, persuade his monumental impressiveness and demonstrate the power of creative invention of the author.
Among contemporaries, raised buildings association with the former really "cultural capital" of the whole of Europe - Paris. This century ago, the Europeans applied as a cosmopolitan center of the continent. In purely "European sense" of course - in its present form on behalf of the social laboratory sample or prototype of a globalized world had yet.
