Humanist modernity

Linking architecture to the human being for whom it is designed may be understood as the humanism of our art.
Matthew Nowicki

Stanisława Nowicka (nee Sandecka) and Maciej (Matthew) Nowicki are two prominent figures in the history of American and Polish architecture. She was a talented graphic artist and designer, the first female professor of architecture in the history of the United States. He collaborated – despite his young age – with renowned architects on prestigious projects whose implementation was interrupted by his tragic death. Their story is a fascinating tale of creative passion, their life together, and the possibilities and limitations of the turbulent beginning of the 20th century.
