Marek Dunikowski and Jakub Glaz
Marek Dunikowski - since defending his diploma in 1974 at the Faculty of Architecture of the Cracow University of Technology, he has been developing his architectural skills both in theory - working as an assistant at the Institute of Urban Planning at the Cracow university, as a Fullbright scholar at the University of Berkley in California or as a visiting professor at the University of Knoxville, Tennessee, and in practice - at the Cracow Academic Architecture Studio Żaczek, run by Stanislaw Deńka. In 1991, he was one of the founders of the DDJM studio in Cracow, which - since the transformation - has been setting new trends in architecture, creating office buildings in Cracow, including the GTC complex on Armii Krajowej Avenue, the first shopping malls, supermalls and multicinemas. The studio approaches the existing architectural fabric with great sensitivity, which can be seen, among other things, in the adaptation of the Stradom House building, as well as with great success competing in architectural competitions, including for the design of the Museum - Memorial Site in Bełżec or the Krakow Music Center building on Blonie Street. The most iconic projects of the studio led by Marek Dunikowski include the European Krzysztof Penderecki Music Center in Lusławice, appreciated by the industry with the SARP Award of the Year in 2013, among others, as well as the completion of the construction of Krakow's "Szkieletor", known today as the Unity Centre, which the architect refers to as the "office Wawel". Dunikowski was awarded SARP's Honorary Award in 2004 for his "ability to create an environment of partnership with young architects, resulting in their great commitment to creative teamwork."
