Exhibition in Stockholm
I prepared the design for the self storage conference in Stockholm founding the main idea around Swedish “Long Boat” and Steel Storage being the leader and winner. As the brave sailors crushing the waves and looking forward.
The result received so many positive comments so I decided to make small joke and created this funny trailer.
Hope I will make you smile:-)

Prague
For the end of summer we organize big event in Prague.
It happened 12-14 September and took a lot of energy to put it right together. I hope all of people and teachers enjoyed being there though.
I am preparing the series of videos from there but I will show you here just one with a overall view.
By the way in few days my stand goes to Stockholm for conference and I will be back with the photos and renderings!
Busy life 😉

1st step – Balancing on one foot
So I was 23 at the time, healthy and climbing mountains.
To my big surprise it happened to be very difficult to keep my balance for a bit longer. And there is a lot o Tai Chi exercises making you to realize this. It shook my nerves so I asked my teacher what I should do about this.
I am not sure what kind of answer I expected precisely. Probably something around en-lighted touch ‘-) Nothing like that ever happened though *) His advice was simple: “Stay on one leg as often and as long as possible”
It sounds very simplistic though when you try it, suddenly you realize how difficult it is. It upset me. Which is another problem you have to deal when practicing. All of those fillings, emotions and internal judgments… Too many of them actually.
– It is difficult for you.
– So what ?
– Just nothing. You just need to go trough this again and again and you will improve sooner or later.
There is only one answer to improvement and self development. It is Patience. You decide to go and practice and you keep your promise honest to yourself. Whenever you fall the routine and be sure it will happen – just peacefully start again. In some point it will become your second nature as it became mine.
Today balancing on one food doesn’t cause any problem and up to that makes me smile from time to time *-)

Tulip Staircase
The Tulip Stairs and lantern at the Queen’s House in Greenwich by Inigo Jones are constant inspiration for me.
Inigo Jones created this simplistic beauty in XVII century and it stays unbeatable for all those years in between greenish spread Greenwich.
So beautiful …
I have decided to play with the idea of his Tulip staircase and that is the first result produced with Revit :

Design Management
Design Management is very important part of CAD departments works.
Lately I was improving our Auto-Cad template and realized once more how necessary is to pay attention to the detail.
Each part has to be looked into and double checked carefully.
This is the end product – The template working as the structure for the drawings and at the same time the tool to keep our customers happy and interested:

My Tai Chi – Part 2 – The very beggining
Today because of Thomas Nowakowski and his Tai Chi School I practice every day which is itself priceless tool to combat trough life difficulties, speak more or less fluently 4 languages, co-organize international Push Hands meetings and all of it when being fully employed designer.
The way to achieve such a efficiency though began long time ago.
It was 1995 when I first time went to see what it is this Tai Chi.
Poland was at the time particular place. Just a few years after we had back our independence from Soviet Union where old ways were falling apart and NEW was coming suddenly, changing everything around.
Parts of the country were still in bed shape. Even some places in my favorite and beautiful Cracow looked like from horror movie.
Almost nobody there knew anything about this strange Chinese Tai Chi Stuff.
Thomas was one of the first and crazy enough to dedicate his life for such a creation 😉 If you want to meet him, here is the link to his Facebook page : Thomas Nowakowski
It was even more miraculous as Częstochowa – the town I’m coming from is known in Poland as “Holy City” which means highly Catholic attitude. Though all of those obstacles Ryszard Prokop, one of Thomas instructors has been holding the class there and thanks to him I could study.
So I have started. It went along with my architectural job and studding philosophy at the same time.
At the beginning the most difficult part was to get balance, concentrate and start daily practicing routine.
It takes most of us a lot of effort to break old negative habits.
But if you are dedicated enough it can change your life.
I mean… for better ‘-)
The same as Cracow did:
