Jan Szpakowicz

The exhibition shows designs and implementations of an architect whose multidimensional work remains almost completely unknown in Poland. The curators of the exhibition are Łukasz Wojciechowski and Aleksandra Czupkiewicz - the architects and researchers of Szpakowicz’s works.

Jan Szpakowicz – an architect, author of many outstanding designs in the field of single- and multi-family architecture, graduate of the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Architecture, professionally associated with the Miastoprojekt-Warszawa Design and Research Office for General Construction, the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Sonatiba design studio and Agence Nationale d’Aménagement du Territoire (Algeria), living in Millas, France since 1992.

The logical order and mathematical rigor of the systems designed by Szpakowicz make the solutions he proposes extremely universal - they function beyond the scale, function and cultural or stylistic boundaries. His work echoes the inspiration of avant-garde artists from France (Claude Parent), Japan (Kenzo Tange), but above all - the works of architects associated with the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts - Oskar Hansen, Zbigniew Ihnatowicz and Jerzy Sołtan.

You can also read the e-book that aims to present and popularize the work of an outstanding architect who, thanks to his unique, original language of design, expanded the boundaries of architecture, connecting the distant worlds of mathematics and art.
