We participate in the postcard project “Architects VS Rest of the World” by the Itinerant Office.  Here below our answer to the question put forward by Gianpiero Venturini “What is the role of the architect in contemporary society?”

Agnieszka: Architecture is (not) proportion
Bartek: Architecture is (not) us
Dawid: Architecture is (not) doing things
Jola: Architecture is (not) creating networks
Luis: Architecture is (not) analysis
Maciej: Architecture is (not) over
Marta: Architecture is (not) interspace
Pawel: Architecture is (not) solution
Tomasz: Architecture is (not) life

We put everywhere „not” in between the brackets, as we’re uncertain if we will be feeling and thinking the same way tomorrow.

Here below addition by Gianpiero to our answer:

Dawid and Jola are running Atelier Starzak Strebicki and they have asked to the office to contribute to the postcard, an interesting participative vision on our profession.

Maybe we should also add: „Architecture is (not) participation”, what is (not) architecture, for you?

Exhibition text:

What’s the quality of public, private and collective space in polish housing estates? Does it help to create a social life and build the network of relationships between the inhabitants? What happens between the buildings? Exhibition Home.Housing.Dwelling is a result of collaborative research of architects and sociologists on the issue of common polish housing estates. Field for studies and subject of research are six different housing areas, focusing on the topic of everyday life.

The exhibition shows among others: books and magazines related with the issue of quality of housing and public space, results of studies of Polish constitution and selected acts of law, which describe and are responsible for the quality of urbanism in Poland. And above all, results of research (including typology and density studies, photographs, movies, interviews with inhabitants) on six different housing estates in Gdynia and Poznań, which are part of the current urban fabric in the city and represent three different time periods: housing estates from the 30’s, pre-fabricated housing units from 70’s and contemporary housing neighborhoods realized by private developers.
