Meeting: Miastoprojekcje cycle. Construction On the Horizon: the Challenges of Coastal Architecture, Resort Style, And the Impact On the Environment And Well-Being of the Local Community
after the screening of the film E.1027 – EILEEN GRAY AND THE HOUSE BY THE SEA, dir. Beatrice Minger and Christoph Schaub,
Partner: City Culture Institute’s Cinema in Gdańsk
The film is a contribution to a twofold discussion. Firstly, we will discuss the present-day status of coastal architecture, looking back at the history of the buildings in the Tricity and northern Kashubia. How do human activities affect our environment? To what extent are they legal? Does beach building deprive us of natural protection against flooding, and what does man resort to in the name of greater economic gain? The second line of discussion will revolve around the feminisation of architecture. We will examine whether gender sensitivities translate into urban space. What do female architects and male architects pay attention to? Joanna Wiśniowska, who has been covering the climate processes on the Polish coast in Gazeta Wyborcza for years, will talk with our experts.
