"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, Marcin Tomaszewski of REFORM Architekt talks about his favorite book, a unique city and his dream of design collaboration.
Marcin Tomaszewski - a graduate of the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University of Lodz, founder of the studio REFORM Architekt, whose visual identity is associated precisely with Lodz.
