We returned from Athens with two SHARE awards: for the Museum of the Polish Army in the CULTURAL-HERITAGE category and the revitalization of the Mokotowski Field in the LANDSCAPE - CITY PLANNING category! The event was attended by Dr. Paweł Grodzicki, who previously represented our studio during the presentation session of 75 final projects before the jury at the Athens Conservatoire. Thank you!

The announcement of the final list was preceded by several stages of evaluation, including the presentation of the project in front of the jury, followed by an architectural tour, which we had the honor to lead already in Warsaw. In the justification of the jury, we read (and grow with pride!) : ❝ The Museum of Polish History demonstrates excellence in all areas: from expressive and at the same time inclusive architecture, through the conscious application of sustainable development strategies, regenerative aspects and placemaking, to the institution's extensive educational program. And the most important and so important today is its importance to the culture and mission, the scale of which is becoming more important and is a vector of change ❞ (Sophie Henley-Price, CEO and Managing Director of STUDIOS Architecture). Thank you very much!

The International Architecture Awards is an international architectural competition organized since 2004 by The Chicago Athenaeum International Museum and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. This year's 19th edition of the award was in many ways a record. More than 850 entries from all over the world were qualified for the competition “short lists”. The jury included design critic Claudia Donà, architect and designer Flavio Manzoni, Luke Pearson (founder of Pearson Lloyd) and Silvio Pietro Angori (CEO of Pininfarina). The jury appreciated our design proposal, in which the layout of the internal courtyards opens a complex of representative public buildings to the city. Thank you!

At the exhibition you can see three of our projects for Warsaw and two models: the concept of reconstruction of the pre-war front of Piłsudski Square with the Saxon Palace and the Brühl Palace, the vision of FSO PARK as well as the concept of a multi-family building at Stalowa Street. In addition, the exhibition included the project of the Miastonatura Foundation “City by the River”. While these projects are different in many ways, our design assumptions in both cases came from the same values — values that we consider timeless, that focus on the needs of the user and the identity of the place. We are glad that we have the opportunity to present mock-ups of projects to a wide audience, including residents of Warsaw. We cordially invite you to the exhibition and invite you to familiarize yourself with our proposals.

Great news! The 1st Prize in the Implementation Competition for the cultural, scientific and didactic building of the I.J. Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznań is ours. We thank the jury and SARP Poznań and congratulate the entire WXCA team: Szczepan Wroński, Marta Sękulska-Wrońska, Michał Lipiec, Maciej Wewiór, Jakub Hlebowicz, Jakub Matela, Małgorzata Bonowicz, Maja Przewoźnik, Aneta Szwejk, Jakub Kołomański, Maciej Sachse, Oliwia Pakuszewska, as well as the Acoustic Studio Piotr Kozłowski, ARUP, Piotr Banak

Great news! We have started the next stage of our development and we are proud to announce the opening of the WXCA office in the Tri-City. This is our next location in Poland. Carrying the baggage of previous experiences, we catch the wind in our sails and face new challenges. The Gdańsk headquarters is located in a historic tenement house, where we left the most valuable elements of architecture, and now we bring new energy. See you at Politechnika 2A street!

The Museum of Polish History has been awarded in the category “Icon” by the daily Rzeczpospolita! “Not only is it a new reference point on the left side of the Vistula, rising above the walls of the citadel, but also — along with other new buildings — it restores this area to the inhabitants of the capital. For a long time a symbol of the oppression of the Russian occupier, then a military site, today it is an open park - in the literal sense, and soon a cultural park,” the organizers enumerate. Thank you for appreciating our design work!

The building of the Polish History Museum was included in the list of The World's Most Beautiful Museums 2024 announced by the Prix Versailles (Versailles Prize)! As the jury of the renowned architectural award writes in the justification: “The mission of the museum was subtly engraved on the walls of the stone monolith of the Museum of Polish History. The concept of the WXCA studio was to cover the facade with slabs of marble arranged in horizontal bands, which emphasize the layered structure of the stone and the differentiation of individual compositions through changes in tonality and texture”. As the jurors add, thanks to reliefs symbolically referring to motifs from the architectural tradition, visitors can “read the mission of the museum on its facade”. A total of 7 magnificent museum objects from around the world were awarded in the list. Next to the Museum of Polish History are the A4 Art Museum (Chengdu, China), the Great Egyptian Museum (Giza, Egypt), the Smritivan Earthquake Museum (Bhuj, India), the Simose Art Museum (Hiroshima, Japan), the Paleis Het Loo (Apeldoorn, The Netherlands) and the Oman Through the Ages Museum (Manah, Oman).
