Enjoy an extensive programme of events exploring how contemporary architecture and urban projects are transforming Poland.

The season examines the country's buildings, spaces and cities - how they are designed, shaped and adapted by architects, artists and the people who live in and use them - reflecting the realities, history and ambitions of a country undergoing massive change.

Events take place at the RIBA, 66 Portland Place and at Arup Phase 2, 8 Fitzroy Street, W1T 4BQ.
