Exhibition "Amplifying nature" organized by Zachęta--National Gallery of Art and presented at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, May 26-November 25, 2018.

"Where did the term 'amplifying nature' come from? What does it mean that light oscillation, gravity and water circulation are materials of architecture? Where in the history of Polish architecture do we look for planetary design? Can a building be as dynamic as a climate? What has the roof got us used to and can we get unused to it? The book that accompanies the Amplifying Nature exhibition, presented with the participation of CENTRALA - Malgorzata Kuciewicz and Simone De Iacobis, with the collaboration of Iza Tarasewicz and Jacek Damiecki at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, uses examples of local Warsaw projects, proposing a reconfiguration of the narratives on architecture-in-nature and nature-in-architecture. In its optics, a planetary scale is necessary for architectural analysis: the Earth in a geological-astronomical system as a system supporting life as we know it."-- Provided by publisher.
