Timeline
The encounter: The Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses
Is contemporary architecture being designed only with our eyes in mind? Have we neglected our other senses? On the occasion of the publication by the Institute of Juhani Pallasmaa’s book The Eyes of the Skin, these are the questions addressed by Maciej Miłobędzki and Michał Choptiany. The encounter led by: Dorota Leśniak-Rychlak.
A curator-guided tour of the exhibition Everything Forever – Now: Polish and British Sustainable Design
Magda Kochanowska will be talking about the works of Polish and British designers who, thanks to ‘intelligent design’, in an organic way develop a sustainable environment and prevent undue pollution.

Sustainable design in industry and everyday life
On 15 February at 6 pm you are invited to a discussion accompanying the exhibition Everything Forever Now: Polish and British Sustainable Design. The participants and invited guests will together reflect on the viability of introducing sustainable design into mass production and will consider the ways that it would function in Poland and in Britain.
Obsessive Scenes
In Beta Gallery a collection of short art films by the design-generation group will be shown. The films evoke places in the cultural imagination that has been grafted onto us. They are daring, eccentric and humorous; often, cruel, terrifying and obscene, too.
Utopian Design
In Alfa Gallery, utilitarian and decorative objects will be exhibited, including an eclectic bench, a rosary praying game, an Art Deco newspaper rack and a framed trophy. This exhibition will be a reference to the Polish and British design exhibition at Level 0.
Everything Forever Now. Polish and British Sustainable Design
The exhibition presents sustainable design projects, which aim to enable development without destruction. The characteristic features of these projects are their use of renewables and the elimination of any negative impact on the natural environment.
