"10 Questions to..." is a series of short conversations with architects and female architects, to whom we address the same pool of questions. In today's installment of the mini-interview, Kazimierz Srodka of SRDK Architects Studio Srodka talks about who he would like to have the opportunity to design something with and what city inspires him the most.
Kazimierz Srodka - a graduate of Wroclaw University of Technology, an advocate of innovation and passionate about new technologies, which are the driving element of development and a tool to improve work in all areas of design. He believes in total design. He combines technical sense with urban planning knowledge to close the created spaces to the smallest usable detail. An architect is a creator, but creates for people - space users and investors. Together with Dorota Jarodzka-Srodka, he runs the author's studio SRDK Architekci Studio Srodka.
