Background is a Warsaw-based architectural studio led by Michal Sikorski. Borrowing design tools from the workshops of urban planners and landscape architects, we treat space design as a complex process of transforming an existing situation, rather than unilaterally implementing a "vision." Regardless of the function and scale of a project, we are interested in adding new functional qualities to places. Along with space, time is crucial to us. We are interested in both hedonistic temporariness, traditional sustainability and long-term planning. We also cooperate with various institutions in the preparation of the investment process through the realization of executive studies and the organization of competitions. The architecture we design draws freely from historical patterns and contemporary culture.
