new reality
The phrase "new reality" has become a permanent fixture in our conversations. The world around us is changing extremely dynamically, presenting us with ever newer challenges. How will design respond to these great changes and shifts in meaning? We are looking for solutions in such issues as sustainable architecture, urban greenery as infrastructure, architecture in the age of circular economy, health-oriented solutions. And it is to these topics that we review in a new series of live talks.
what are the new trends?
Launched in March, the #NEW TRENDS IN ARCHITECTURE series hosts top artists, researchers and designers who, based on their own design practice and experience, discuss how to implement change, what it brings and what the balance is in urbanized spaces.
Through open, interdisciplinary conversations, together we create new trends and explain what their implementation can change in the space around us. We invite you to be a part of these changes!
The guests of the first meeting in March were landscape architect Joanna Rayss and architect Jakub Szczęsny. This time Jakub Szczęsny will be joined by urban planner - Kuba Snopek. The online meeting will already take place on May 24, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. The conversation will be broadcast live on A&B's YouTube channel and Facebook page. There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the meeting.
May 24 (Tuesday), 12:00 pm
