Hello, we are architektoniczki agency

for gender-smart innovation.

We create feminist spaces in urban areas and architecture

We are actively gathering evidence to demonstrate the profound impact of spatial design on individuals' life trajectories. We are dedicated to challenging conventional norms and promoting inclusive, equitable, and diverse methods in urban planning and design.

Impact Areas

We focus our attention and impact on all scales - from mm to km

Architecture

Are you aware that kitchens are often the only spaces designed with women's dimensions in mind? How can we work towards changing this inequitable situation?

Public Space

Do you know that most excluded group from public space are teenage girls? How can we effectively teach about spatial equity when the design of physical spaces ofthen cotradicts it?

Urbanism

Is your city familiar with methods researching human behaviour within physical spaces?
