On Weathering: A gallery talk and a microclimatic walk with Centrala

During a lecture at the VI PER gallery, Małgorzata Kuciewicz and Simone De Iacobis from the Centrala studio, along with curator Aleksandra Kędziorek, will discuss the advantages brought by references to older, traditional approaches in architecture. They will draw inspiration from vernacular architecture and modernist icons and contemplate the partly forgotten skills of shaping microclimates, designing alongside the weather, and inviting non-human actors into the design process. The lecture will provide a broader context for the works of the Centrala studio presented in the exhibition and expand it with their further projects, references, and research methods.
The accompanying event of the Centrala exhibition – Weathering: Chronobiological Architecture and Handing Over Control.
The event is held with the support of the Polish Cultural Institute.

During a gallery talk on Friday evening at VI PER, Małgorzata Kuciewicz and Simone De Iacobis from Centrala and architecture curator Aleksandra Kędziorek will discuss the benefits that come from forming an architectural arrière-garde. Drawing inspiration from vernacular architecture and modernist icons, they will deliberate on the partly forgotten skills of shaping microclimates, designing along with the weather, and inviting non-human actors to the process of design. The talk will give a wider context to Centrala's works presented in the exhibition, and extend it with their other projects, references and research methods.
