Building Dreams

A second generation architect, Maja Wronska began drawing and sketching at three when she would play in her mum's architect supplies - fine colored pencils and paints. Currently working towards a masters in architecture at Warsaw University of Technology, she somehow finds time to do freelance sketching/ drawing and post videos of her art making magic on Youtube . Maja doesn't know it yet but she's definitely building my dream mansion. Blueprints, materials, decorations, everything start to finish it's all her.


Building for the Future

Architecture has changed a lot since Maja first started. Now more than ever, sustainability is vital for the longevity of our planet and art. Architects have to see Earth's natural beauty and design buildings that favor it. Gentle enough to exist amongst Earth's charming allure yet strong enough for people. Looking at any of Maja's projects you'll find there's a positive effect of her aesthetics.

The wood panels are probably a lightweight plywood that's readily available anywhere around the world so it's cheap to use but also easy to work with. The white exterior reflects sunlight so the structure won't absorb heat during moderate to hot temperatures. The overall minimalistic design is very clean cut but also blends in with the natural surroundings.The flat roof could have more layers and floors added to house more people if necessary. My dream mansion is going to look similar but bigger.

 Architecture is changing partly because we're better able to see the impact we have on the planet. Archi- tects aren't just making buildings anymore, they're building dreams too. For proof check out Maja's hyperstructure, or futuristic city, once only possible in the scifi realm, could be common in the near future. Look at all that green - so gorgeous. These models were made with computers, but Maja needed to be able to visualize her ideas on paper before busting out a keyboard. Which brings us to her paintings:

 

I love Maja's paintings because of the way she uses cool and warm colors to show perspective and by doing so captures the dualities in life; the light oranges and reds that brighten up our day and the dark blues that cast shadows on it. Looking at Maja's sceneries and landscapes, you can imagine the time and passion that goes into every stroke. And certainly if you talk to Maja you'll find that passion is the sole motivator for all her artistic endeavors. If you talk to Maja, this isn't a career or hobby. This is her life and all of that zest comes through in all she produces. Don't be surprised if years from now you're not in a building she designed or see her work in a gallery.
