– Just like in music, the melody is composed not only of notes, it also needs pauses, in architecture sometimes you need a void, free space, in the Virilovsky’s words “espace vide” (…) We were looking for such a diploma. Wise, conscious, sensitive. The diploma, which will show the high level of young and already mature Polish architecture.
