Alicja Sienkiewicz

Alicja Sienkiewicz (born in 1995 in Poznań), a graduate of the Wrocław University of Technology, completed her first degree at the Poznań University of Technology, and also studied at the Politecnico di Milano at the Mantua branch. She combines her love of architecture with her passion for traveling and drawing. She won first place in the 2016 student competition for the best term papers at Poznan University of Technology. Among other things, she participated in a workshop led by Eduardo Souto de Moura at Politecnico di Milano in 2017 on the neglected neighborhoods of Porto. Another workshop - the summer school International workshop. Paper - based Water Tower for Emergencies Scenarios conducted by Dr. Jerzy Lątka in 2018 inspired her search for unusual structural and ideological solutions in architecture, which she developed in the design and construction of the Freedom Pavilion in Wroclaw in 2019. She continued this research in her thesis, referring to recycled architecture using neglected urban spaces. She proposed solutions that could help in the face of climate change, increasingly frequent droughts, hot weather and increasing social problems.
