The Institute of Architecture Documentation of the Silesian Library organized the event “The Architecture of Science – Youth Palace” on April 29, 2024, as part of the Architecture Week, which itself was a segment of the program series 50 Weeks in the City of Science. Due to its positive reception, the “Architecture of Science” urban walking tour series (Archispacers) was developed.
As part of the Archispacers, participants visited several locations, including the Silesian Library, the Faculty of Theology of the University of Silesia, the Katowice Campus of the Silesian University of Technology, and the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School of the University of Silesia in Katowice.
The Archispacers were held under the patronage of Architecture and Business
