Centrala

Guided by the idea of Amplifying Nature, CENTRALA – Małgorzata Kuciewicz & Simone De Iacobis create projects that explore the relationship between architecture and natural processes. For them, architecture is a flow rather than merely a static form; gravity, water circulation, and atmospheric and astronomical phenomena are its building blocks. CENTRALA see architecture that combines the intimate, human scale with the scale of the planet as a way of tuning us into the rhythm of the world around us, strengthening our sense of connection with nature, opening us to the experience of its vanishing cycles, and drawing attention to the relationship between micro-events and changes taking place on the scale of the Earth. CENTRALA have presented their projects at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2018, 2023), the London Design Biennale (2021), Fundació Mies van der Rohe, Barcelona (2022), the Lisbon Architecture Triennial (2022), the Gwangju Biennale (2023), the Seoul Museum of Craft Art (2025), and the Copenhagen Architecture Biennial (2025).
