In the next episode of the "Foundations" series, we speak with Magdalena Radzny, who talks about her experience on a student exchange in Covihla, Portugal. The conversation is not only a story about the trip, but also a reflection on how a temporary change of residence can broaden a young designer's perspective. Is working in a Portuguese office different from that in Poland? What values can be derived from such an experience and how does it affect one's approach to the profession?

Magdalena Razny
Graduate of the Faculty of Architecture at the Cracow University of Technology, whose professional interests include both interior design and public buildings. A collision with various approaches to design - from German orderliness to Portuguese freedom - allowed her to better understand the importance of cultural context in the creative process.
For her, architecture is a form of expression that combines functionality with aesthetics while responding to social and cultural needs. She sees it as the art of shaping space that not only serves its users, but also influences their daily experiences, emotions and relations with the environment.

Her approach to architecture was shaped both during her studies at the Cracow University of Technology and during foreign exchanges under the Erasmus program. Studying in Germany and Portugal allowed her to learn about different ways of thinking about space - different design traditions, relationships with the environment and the roles that architecture plays in everyday life. This experience taught her that good design begins with the ability to listen to a place, its context and the people who will use that space.

Magdalena Rozny is passionate about traveling, discovering new cultures and art, which translates into her creative sensibility. Encounters with new places and people inspire her to seek individual solutions and experiment boldly with form. For her, architecture is not a rigid discipline - it is a living, changing language with which to talk about identity, needs and dreams.
