After a short break, we would like to invite you to another episode of the series Awakenings, i.e. morning conversations about the beginning of the career, the time of studies, childhood, as well as the current professional work and plans for the future with well-known people from the creative industry. Tomorrow, on January 14 at 9:00 a.m., Lukasz Harat will talk with Monika Arczynska.
The Awakenings series is created as part of the anti-RAMA collective 's project Street Cloud, a micro-TV show about urban culture. In the next installment of the morning talks about how the vaccine for the coronavirus will change the spatial and social face of our cities, why architectural studies should not instill the cult of individualism and whether architecture is a science, Monika Arczyńska, architect, co-founder of A2P2 architecture & planning studio, researcher at the Gdansk University of Technology and author of the SIX LETTER CITY blog, will talk.
