Architecture shouldn’t accelerate change — it should slow us down so we can perceive it.
The Warsaw-based research and architecture duo CENTRALA, explores how celestial architectures might attune the human scale with the more-than-human rhythms of planetary motion.
For the third installment of Slow Bar you could meet the Polish duo CENTRALA in conversation on Celestial Architecture, their work featured in the Slow Down Group Exhibition.
Slow Bar was an opportunity to wind down after working hours, while listening to conversations at the intersection of art and architecture. Now you can enjoy the conversation anytime!
About CENTRALA
Małgorzata Kuciewicz & Simone De Iacobis create projects based on exploring the relationship between architecture and natural processes. For them, architecture is a flow, not merely a static form; and gravity, water circulation as well as atmospheric and astronomical phenomena are its building blocks.
CENTRALA see architecture that combines the intimate, human scale with the scale of the planet as a means of tuning us into the rhythm of the world around us, strengthening our sense of connection with nature, opening us to experiencing its vanishing cycles, and direct attention to the relationship between micro-events and changes taking place on the Earth’s scale.
Support
CENTRALA’s contribution to the Copenhagen Architecture Biennial and this podcast episode was made possible through the support of LINA through Creative Europe.
