About the Book

- This uniquely presented monograph combines a highly illustrated album with the author's incisive, personalized narrative, explaining the bold concepts of many single- and multifamily residential projects and public buildings, e.g. Warsaw's German embassy, Dublin's U2 tower, and a bridge over Adige River in Verona, Italy, as well as contemporary museums and galleries, including the just completed Plato Contemporary Art Gallery in Ostrava, Czech Republic, as well as many others- The International Jury of Museum of Architecture and Design in Chicago has placed several KWK Promes's houses on the list of the best houses in the world; Konieczny's own house, the 'Ark' received a Wallpaper* Design Award for Innovative Design; and Robert Konieczny has been awarded multiple times for his high-caliber achievements, including by the Minister of Culture in Poland for his outstanding achievements in the field of architecture- The book is filled with full-color photographs and detailed plans and diagrams, as well as incisive commentary by renowned architectural writer Philip Jodidio on the innovative process of this firm's practiceRobert Konieczny, founder and principal of KWK Promes, in Poland, specializes in projects renowned for ingenious 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 international cultural festivals and exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale. The firm's work especially with kinetic architecture fuses seamless design principles with inventive concepts, namely movable structures that both catch light and create 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.
