The interview “Ego architekta kontra empatia architektki” on Krytyka Polityczna was conducted by Paulina Januszewska. In the interview, Architektoniczki collective discuss the contrast between traditional, male-dominated architectural practices and their more empathetic, feminist approach to urban planning. The conversation covers their research on Aleje Jerozolimskie in Warsaw, revealing how public spaces often disregard women’s safety and emotional well-being.
The interview emphasizes how Architektoniczki aim to bring an inclusive and human-centered perspective to architecture by prioritizing empathy and the lived experiences of all city users, particularly women. They advocate for rethinking architecture, moving away from grandiose, ego-driven designs to focus on social equity and community needs.
