Currently she is working as a freelance architect and developing her own creative practice at the intersection of fields – architecture, scenography and visual arts. Recently in her work she focuses on issues of architecture in the natural sites and subconscious creative processes.
During her residency in SODAS 2123, Agnieszka will research on improvisation techniques such as automatic drawing developed by the surrealists and Real Time Composition invented by Portuguese choreographer João Fiadeiro. The main aim is to explore how forms and concepts freely created by the subconscious, can be translated to the language of architecture, as a process-oriented creation practice.
