Spodek


This lovely piece of architecture is called the 'Spodek'. It's the sport hall/entertainment centre in Katowice. It reminds me of a UFO from 70s science fiction. It is close to the Disco Sphinx, which also looks like it comes from the 70s. Actually, a lot of Katowice looks like it's still in the 70s, right down to the porn star moustaches that most of the men between about 35 and 55 seem to think are still fashionable. This is the sort of city that an invading army would leave intact purely out of spite.
