Robert Konieczny

Polish architect

Robert Konieczny practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.

The record lists Robert Konieczny as Polish architect.

Robert Konieczny was born at Katowice in 1969. His recorded nationality is Poland. He trained at Faculty of Architecture, Silesian University of Technology.

Contemporary practice is global, computational and preoccupied with energy: the profession's central question is now what a building costs the climate.

He is recorded as architect.

Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.

Recognition followed: European Prize for Urban Public Space.

That the work was built in Poland shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.

Robert Konieczny is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
