This project is located in Krakow, Poland.

Fighting developer pressure erasing Kraków’s Krowodrza, this project searches for authenticity and roots by activating the memory of place. Through an ephemeral trail tracing the lost Młynówka river and the permanent revival of the Modrzejówka Villa, architecture becomes a sensory, living laboratory where heritage is actively lived.
