Polish architecture is at a turning point. After Poland became a member of the European Union, it opened its doors to foreign investors and embarked on a path of significant economic growth, which also gave local architecture a chance to thoroughly break away from its socialist heritage and showcase its young and aggressive face. Current Polish developments will be presented by architects Andrzej Duda and Roman Rutkowski, who have rich experience from both practice and academia. Their lectures and subsequent discussions will take place:
in Prague (Wednesday, March 5 at 17:00, Polish Institute, Malé náměstí 1), in Brno (Thursday, March 6 at 13:00, FA VUT, Poříčí 5) and in Bratislava (Thursday, March 6 at 18:00, FA STU, Námestie Slobody 19).
Andrzej Duda (*1953) completed his doctoral studies at the Berlage Institute in Amsterdam, currently works at the Faculty of Architecture of the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, and is also a partner at the architectural office Inarko (www.inarko.pl). His lecture will focus on the development of Polish architecture in the Silesia region after 1989 and parallels with developments in the Czech Republic. Roman Rutkowski (*1972) lectures at the Faculty of Architecture of Wrocław University of Technology and is the founder of the architectural group ReWritable Research Team (www.rewritable.pl). In addition, he is the Polish correspondent for several foreign architectural magazines, including A10 - New European Architecture. In his lecture, he will address the most current developments in the Polish scene and the new themes that these developments raise.
