A brief introduction to Katowice with English subtitles - "It's quite strange - you enter a city and you suddenly feel as if wandering into a garden of architecture. This city builds itself on layers, on layers of work, layers of thought, layers of history, transformations, various phenomena, experiments. And this creates the ground which starts to work, attracts new ideas, new thoughts, new phenomena, new attempts at experimentation which have to exist by the force of the human will, by the force of human dreams. Katowice is a difficult city, however, the spark of genius, is difficult to grasp and at the first glance it escapes comprehension."
