Abstract
The port of Gdynia contains a diverse range of heritage assets, starting with its spatial layout which is an urban concept designed in the first half of the 1920s. It is important to point out, this historically-shaped harbor space is preserved in its general idea and still functioning in port activities. Another significant element is the structural, technological solution which was the basis for constructing the entire port area in a relatively short time. Finally, what we mainly identify with cultural heritage - buildings of different types, designed mostly under the influence of the Avangard Modern Movement principals, which instantly after being erected became symbols of modernity and the rebirth of Poland’s maritime power. Preserving a heritage site, which is at the same time an active port complex is a real challenge for both administrators and conservators. In this material, three widely differing realities of approach are presented towards historical tissue, from successful adaptive reuse, through radical redevelopment, to major destruction.
