The Stefan Kurylowicz Foundation: Lecture with Amanda Levete in Warsaw

On 1st April 2016, The Stefan Kuryłowicz Foundation in association with the Polish Cultural Institute in London, organised the first ever lecture by Arch. Amanda Levete in Poland, which took place during The Foundation’s annual event celebrating winners of its THEORY and PRACTICE programmes, which support young Polish architects.

Introduction

Amanda Levete is a one of the top British architects and one of the few who have been awarded the Sterling Prize. She started her career in 1980s and after having worked with Jan Kaplicky at Future Systems, where she received the Sterling Prize for the Lord’s Media Centre, she now leads practice AM_A in London. One of AM_A’s current projects is a design of the new courtyard, entrance and gallery of the Victoria na Albert Museum in London.

The lecture title was “From vision to completion” (Od wizji do projektu)
This first visit of Amanda Levete in Poland was a great opportunity for attendees of the lecture to ask her questions about her life’s work and current projects. The lecture was inspirational, and showed that persistence and a drive to follow one’s believes and convictions goes a long way, and not only in architecture, of course.

      ‘Cookies’ and how we use them
      In certain circumstances we may use cookies to track information or specify preferences when viewing our site or those of our clients. An HTTP cookie – commonly referred to as just ‘cookie’ – is a parcel of text sent back and forth between a web browser and the server it accesses. Its original purpose was to provide a state management mechanism between a web browser and a web server.  Without a cookie (or a similar solution), a web server cannot distinguish between different users, or determine any relationship between sequential page visits made by the same user. For this reason, cookies are used to differentiate one user from another and to pass information from page to page during a single user’s website session. A web server uses cookies to collect data about a given browser, along with the information requested and sent by the browser’s operator (the visitor). Cookies do not identify people, but rather they are defined themselves by a combination of a computer, a user account, and a browser.  This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.  You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
