Life and career edit
Buczkowska studied at the Polytechnic School in Gdańsk and the École Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris, from which she graduated in 1974 with a degree in architecture.[1][3] She has been inspired by the theories of French architect and urban planner Jean Renaudie,[3] as well as the way that towns were planned in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque period.[2] Buczkowska is opposed to the segregation imposed by urban zoning and to the functional urban layout proposed by the Athens Charter. She was innovative in her use of wood as a building material and advocates the use of free plan construction which facilitates movement through the building.[4]
Awards and recognition edit
Buczkowska received the Gold Medal and Special Prize at the Fifth World Biennale of Architecture at Sofia in 1989 for her project at Le Blanc-Mesnil and the silver medal and the Prix Delarue in 1994 from the Académie d'architecture for her collected work.[citation needed] In 2003, she received the Prix grand public de l’Architecture from the region Ile-de-France for her work at Le Blanc-Mesnil.[4] Buczkowska was awarded the 2024 Jane Drew Prize for being "a pioneer of timber construction and a fierce defender of the right to good housing".[5][6][7]
