Air-purifying mural on Wrocław office building

One of the buildings in the Centrum Południe complex in Wrocław was decorated with a large mural created using air-purifying paints. This is the largest project of this kind in the capital of Lower Silesia.

A mural with an area of over 700 square meters, designed by artist Zuzanna Wollny, can be admired while walking down the street Powstańców Śląskich in Wrocław. The mural is located on one of the buildings that are part of the Centrum Południe complex, owned by Skanska. The mural measures nearly 22 meters in height and almost 33 meters in width. The entire painting attracts attention by depicting the diversity of nature in the city, including greenery and animals.

The realization of the project resulted from cooperation between Skanska and the Kolektyf studio. An interesting element is the fact that the paints used for its creation are photocatalytic. This is a special type of paint in which so-called photocatalytic reaction occurs. Thanks to solar energy and the presence of oxygen and humidity in the air, these paints transform pollutants such as car exhaust, sulfur dioxide or solvent vapors, present in urban air, into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide and water.

A similar photocatalytic solution was also used in the vicinity of the Centrum Południe complex, where an anti-smog sidewalk was created.
