"Earth Hotel. Living and Dwelling Well". A Meeting with Jo Jurga

An author event centered on the book Hotel Ziemia. Living and Dwelling Well. Despite having incredible technological capabilities and all the knowledge at our disposal, we still struggle to grasp how our immediate environment shapes us.

It takes so little to live better. Freer. Even… more beautifully.

Why did city builders thousands of years ago understand the harmony of the world better than we do today? Who spends more time playing outdoors each day – modern children or prison inmates? How can we design a twenty-five-meter ‘apartment’ with empathy?

Synesthetic designer Dr. Joanna Jurga is sparking a revolution in the way we think about space!
