Event Description
Karolina began her studies at Krakow University in Poland before becoming licensed in the Netherlands and spending 3 years working as an architect for OMA between Rotterdam and Hong Kong. She relocated to the US in 2013 where she received her M.Arch from Yale. She is currently a Lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania and Architect and Principal at New York-based firm, Only If.
The ambition of this process is to create clarity and distill simplicity within often-complex circumstances and constraints. Rather than imposing additional regimes of complexity, we believe the role of the designer is to envision simple gestures and forms that impose structure, coherence, and identity. We believe in the potential of simple shapes and geometries—like circles and squares—framing and shaping underlying uncertainties and complexities.
