To measure a building is to know it. Measurements of the tenement house at 11 May 1 Street in Lodz, made in early spring 2020 in a two-person team together with arch. Marcelina Rębowska. Working in demanding conditions - most of the premises inhabited. But this was the most beautiful - to learn about the historic architecture of Lodz built from the narratives of long-time residents.

The experience is bittersweet: although the building has been beautified from the outside thanks to our work, inside it is impoverished by the community of previous residents. A valuable lesson on what home actually is.
