The purpose of the lecture series organized by A&B is to educate male and female students beyond the institutional framework of universities. Participants have the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the profession through contact with active male and female architects, who emphasize the practical sides of the profession.
We are committed to ensuring that female and male architecture students, who are about to begin their professional work, learn from the best, strive to find their own solutions, take up challenges, because the quality of architecture and the urbanized environment in Poland is a topic they will face in their future design work.
