07 October 2009 - 25 November 2009

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Venue:

Gallery 1, RIBA, 66 Portland Place

Description:

A series of free displays that examine the significant contemporary buildings and cutting edge projects transforming Polish cities.

Living Identity explores how, from 'paradise' gardens in communist era housing estates to informal markets in empty stadiums, the adaptation of even the most anonymous buildings and spaces is transforming the fabric of Polish cities.

Constructing Identity examines recent Polish buildings and projects that draw on ideas of Polish identity and history, while adapting them to contemporary technologies and needs, from the new National Stadium in Warsaw to the Polish Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai Expo.

Architects in Poland: Identity in Practice profiles eight Polish and international practices, highlighting the issues and experiences of working in Poland, through projects including housing, community centres, newspaper offices, museums and the new British Embassy in Warsaw.

Includes work by Pawel Althamer, ARÉ Architects, Mikolaj Dlugosz, Olafur Eliasson, Tony Fretton, GOGO Design, Jadwiga Grabowska-Hawrylak, Heidrun Holzfeind, Krzysztof Ingarden, JEMS Architekci, JSK Architects, Christian Kerez, Robert Konieczny, Rob Krier & Christoph Kohl, Daniel Libeskind, Medusa Group Architects, nsMoon Studio, Joanna Rajkowska, Jan Smaga, Monika Sosnowska, Rirkrit Tiravaniji, Julita Wójcik, and WWAA.
