Tradition?!<\/em> is the main theme of the 8th East Design Days, traditionally organised by the Faculty of Architecture of Bialystok University of Technology.<\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

East Design Days<\/a> 2025 became a space for meetings of different generations, experiences and approaches to design. The lectures showed how tradition meets the future in spatial design, education and everyday creative work. The workshops, which connect generations \u2013 from traditional crafts to modern forms of expression \u2013 gave participants an opportunity for the practical exchange of knowledge.<\/p>\n

The block \u201cFrom student to master\u201d presented the professional paths of graduates of the Faculty of Architecture<\/a> of Bialystok University of Technology \u2013 from local studios to projects in the largest cities of Europe.<\/p>\n

\u2013 I graduated in 2005 and, like most young architects, I was wondering where I could start working. In December 2005 I was already in Denmark \u2013 says architect Jakub Lewkowicz, a graduate of the Faculty of Architecture of Bialystok University of Technology, Vice President of the Management Board of the K+A studio (Kury\u0142owicz & Associates). \u2013 Shortly afterwards, the idea of opening a Polish architectural studio emerged. We had investors interested in building in Poland, although the cooperation was at times demanding. These experiences taught me perseverance, consistency and the fact that in an architect\u2019s work the most difficult challenges can be the most motivating.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Education at the Faculty of Architecture of Bialystok University of Technology is a foundation for building a career in Poland and abroad.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Studying at the Faculty of Architecture of Bialystok University of Technology was a key stage of my professional path. It was here that I felt the freedom of creative work and only during my studies did I understand that architecture is my life path \u2013 recalls architect Wojciech Pop\u0142awski, co-founder of the OP ARCHITEKTEN studio, with offices in Warsaw, Vienna and Krak\u00f3w. \u2013 When I started my studies, I was not yet fully convinced, but the opportunity to go abroad, difficult at the time, though possible, opened my eyes to how broad this profession is and how many different perspectives on architecture one can encounter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
