Anna Jaruga-Rozdolska, PhD, architect and researcher. Scientific career focused mainly on AI as part of future practices in the architect's work; in architectural practice, workflow is mainly analogue.

Brief information about the projects that you/your company have been involved with. For instance, what scale have you focused on/preferred, any significant projects where the company/ individuals have been Involved?

I focuse on single-family houses. My other field of artistic expression in sculpture.

What does architecture mean to you and what is the role of an architect in your society?

I want to design houses where love can dwell.

Why do you participate in architecture competitions?

I participate in competitions because I believe there is no progress without discomfort. Being judged is never pleasant, but it is essential for continuous growth.

What advice would you give to individuals who struggle to decide whether it would be beneficial for them to participate in architecture competitions?

It is always a good thing to test your vision on a neutral field. For an artist, hidden works are often the closest to the heart, but pubic opinion always tests their commercial potential well.
