The Biblioteka Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego (BUW) or the Warsaw University Library building was opened in December of 1999 and the Library garden in June, 2002. One of the largest and most beautiful roof gardens in Europe, the Biblioteka Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego (BUW) or the Warsaw University Library encompasses two garden areas – an upper area of 2,000 m2, and a lower area of 15,000 m2 – linked by a fountain of cascading water. The roof garden setting offers sweeping views of Warsaw, the Vistula river and the Świętokrzyski Bridge.
The roof garden of the Library of the University of Warsaw is an experimental project. It is the first and largest roof garden established in Poland of its kind. It offers exceptional views to the Vistula River, fragments of the natural declivity, and the buildings situated downhill. The variety of the scenes created and beauty of the panorama remain the greatest values of this place.
The design concept falls into the formation of several separate, yet conjoined gardens. The functional and spacial divisions, outlined by the skylights, technical equipment and entrances to the roof (platform, off-ramp), were inspired by the idea of creating varied garden spaces differing with spirit, colors, forms and scents. The Warsaw University Library has various slopes for each section of the roof; there are flat parts sloped 0-2% and also pitched areas up to 100%.
