On October 1, the exhibition Humanist modernity: Maciej and Stanisława Nowicki, opens in the Center for Architecture in New York. Alongside the opening, the Center will host a public talk and a guided tour led by the exhibition's curator, Kacper Kępiński, Deputy Director of NIAiU.
Humanist modernity presents the work of Stanisława Sandecka-Nowicka and Maciej (Matthew) Nowicki, two significant figures in the history of American and Polish architecture. The exhibition takes its title from a concept the two architects developed in the 1940s: modernism as a human-centered approach to design, concerned with understanding who a building is really for and how it binds a person to the space around them. It follows this idea across their work and asks what their architecture offers us today.
