PROFILE

Bartosz Haduch founded NArchitekTURA in 2007. Based in Krakow, the studio takes its name from the fusion of nature and architecture, with a remit that extends to landscape design, graphics, photography and even journalism (Haduch has contributed to wallpaper.com in the past). Haduch has worked in Holland, Austria and Spain, as well making research forays around the world. Working together with Bartosz Kardaś, Michał Haduch and Michał Sapeta, Haduch combines practice with PhD studies at Wroclaw's University of Technology. Attuned to the media age, NArchitekTURA's work explores the ways in which architecture conveys information, 'transforming it into a game of searching, hearing and reading, to which all users and visitors are invited.' Vernacular forms are a constant inspiration, 'simple buildings and objects designed by people whose names will probably never end up in Google.'

'Sheltering Sky'

Inspired by Bernando Bertolucci's 1990 film, the Sheltering Sky House is designed for the city of Djenne in Mali, where the streets are made up of traditional clay buildings. 'The house is a hypothetical proposal of a scenery for the future life of the film's' main character, Kit Moresby, after her husband's death,' says Haduch. With a fictional client in hand, NArchitekTURA's wedge-shaped design is effectively a stage set, a void around which two floors of 'furniture walls' are placed, freeing up the internal space. The living space has just one window, a vast opening roof – 'to connect with ever changing nature and the 'sheltering sky''.
