The interior of Tamizo Architects and KUOO ARCHITECTS studio in Lodz, Poland.

The autumn edition of the Festival of Open Architectural Studios is underway, an event during which we peek into the nooks and crannies of design studios, have the opportunity to learn about the working methods of the architects who create in them and ask questions that bother us. Last Friday we virtually moved to Lodz, where Mateusz Kuo Stolarski and Katarzyna Kuo Stolarska - founders of Tamizo Architects and KUOO ARCHITECTS- told us about their work in post-industrial interiors.

The post-industrial and atmospheric OFF Piotrkowska complex in Lodz is home to the Tamizo Architects and KUOO ARCHITECTS studios. Their founders - Katarzyna Kuo Stolarska and Mateusz Kuo Stolarski - during the live broadcast showed FOPY viewers the neighborhood that is important to them both professionally and privately - Lodz's Manhattan, where they both grew up, their favorite establishments in post-industrial buildings, and even the place where their wedding party took place. Of course, there was no shortage of what is most important in the Festival of Architectural Open Studios - the presentation of the office and learning about the method of work of architects.

Are you curious about what hides behind the pink doors or what Tamizo pizza tastes like? What were the topics of the master's degrees of the studio's founders? What were the beginnings of their careers like? What distinguishes their way of billing projects to clients and what are its advantages [you can read more about it here: Why is the rate per square meter the standard in the market?]? These and many other questions will be answered in the video:

There is one more meeting ahead of us - on Wednesday (24.11) we will virtually visit the Warsaw office of Kurylowicz & Associates, where we will be guided by Jerzy S. Majewski. Participation in the event is free, you can follow the broadcast on our Facebook and Youtube channel. Detailed information can be found here.
