FURNITURE
Prototypes collection inspiring changes in behavioral use of ordinary furniture. The chair with stretched backrest makes person sitting on a stool dependent on the one using the chair. It’s comfortable for one who can sit on bench alike. The chair with two backrests for lap sitting can be also used by one choosing suitable position. The ready-bent shelf is the way to show off with the weight of printed knowledge even when you have one book - which is possible in the times of e-prints.

The lamp is just cheap and assembled in 15 minutes.
STUDENTS’ HOUSING PROJECTS BOOKLET
The booklet introduces the 2nd year students’ works made during 3rd semester 2010 of architectural course on the Faculty of Architecture, Technical University of Wroclaw, in the group tutored by LW. The projects of the housing estates are based on a landscape concepts defining the open space, the interior and the relations between them two. The issue is to research the continuum between house and garden as a complex inhabited landscape which is also a tool for defining unique qualities of sites which lack identity. In other words a landscape becomes an operational system which is able to hold various programmatic applications.
