The International Congress on the Economy of Value is underway, and with it - the Open Architecture Studio Festival, accompanying the OEES summit. The first meeting is behind us - we were invited to their hospitable thresholds by architects from the Warsaw studio WXCA, whose headquarters is located in the historic Emil Wedel building, in a former chocolate factory, right next to the extremely important Five Corners Square for the office.

Before entering the studio, the audience was greeted by Marta Sekulska-Wronska and Piotr Losek, and together with them we rode the external elevator to the office headquarters and discovered its nooks and crannies. During the festival, the architects talked, among other things, about such concepts of their own as Five Corners Square and the decade-long project of the Polish Army Museum.

Are you curious about the views spread out from the studio windows? Does the office smell like chocolate? How many architects work in the WXCA team and what requirements should a candidate applying for a job in the office meet? What materials do architects use to create mockups and what is their function in the design process? What ways do designers have of reducing their carbon footprint? What graphic design programs do they work in? These and many other questions will be answered in the video:

The next two days of the autumn edition of the festival are ahead of us - this Friday (19.11) we will visit Tamizo Architects and KUOO Architects in Lodz, and in exactly one week (Wednesday, 24.11) - Kurylowicz & Associates in Warsaw. Participation in the event is free of charge, you can follow the broadcasts on our Facebook and Youtube channel. Detailed information can be found here.
