Passion and science accompany young researchers from Lodz University of Technology. Evidence of this can be seen in the PhDs carried out in the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School. One of the 12 disciplines that the young researchers are developing is architecture. Eng. arch. Marta Piórkowska, M.A. talks about her research into the influence of landscape on 20th-century architecture in the Nordic countries of Finland, Norway and Sweden, the subject of her PhD.

The final PiCoDe workshop took place in Eskişehir (Turkey), in a city founded by the Phrygians around 1000 BC. A group of students and teachers from Portugal, Poland, Turkey and USA worked on the design and prototype of a new product, primarily made from a local material called meerschaum.

The 3D modelling of the prototypes and development of sketching and preideafication boards and experiemental material displays were exhibited to public on 7th October 2022 at Atilla Özer Karikatürlü Gallery, Eskişehir.
