MARTA SĘKULSKAWROŃSKA Architect, Chair of architecture firm WXCA. Any innovation process is based on a mindset, values and practices that encourage creativity and the search for new ideas. Polish architect Marta Sękulska-Wrońska and the founder of The Loop Factory, in Sweden, Anna Altner, explain what it takes to create a genuine innovation culture within the sector. “Exploration is the key to successfully designing buildings that are sustainable, esthetically pleasing, comfortable, functional and intelligent. We ask ourselves a multitude of questions to uncover opportunities for innovation and identify potential challenges or constraints. Investing time and effort in this initial phase enables architects to make informed decisions that not only address immediate challenges, but also take into account the long-term implications for the building’s performance, sustainability and overall success. Such an approach also minimizes risks, optimizes resources and ensures that the final design solution actually meets the customer’s expectations, adding value throughout the building’s life cycle.” READ the full interview in Constructing a sustainable future 87
