Individual architects & architectural firms

Robert Konieczny, founder and principal of KWK Promes, in Poland, specialises in projects renowned for inventive concepts and unique design. His works examine closely the nature and interpretations of spatial journeys for the viewer or those who inhabit the space, be it for residential works, public buildings, or cultural festivals and exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale. The firm's work with kinetic architecture as exemplified in the 2018 Quandrant House is an outstanding example of fusing seamless design principles with an inventive concept, namely a movable structure that both catches light and creates a uniquely experiential environment. A leader in industry innovation, Konieczny and KWK Promes was awarded the World Architecture Festival Award for the best building in 2016.

AUTHOR: Robert Konieczny is a graduate of Architecture at Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland. In 1996 he finished his studies at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He established the KWK Promes architecture studio in 1999. Konieczny has been nominated multiple times for the European Award of Mies van der Rohe Foundation (for Aatrial House, OUTrial House, Komoda House, Broken House, Safe House, Auto-Family House, Living-Garden House in Katowice and Living-Garden House in Izbica). Konieczny's practice has often been cited as one of the most exciting architectural studios in the world.
