Natacha Mankowski French , b. 1986

Overview

Natacha Mankowski (b 1986, Paris) practices architecture of the surface. Her work evolves around her ongoing investigation in the immersive qualities of architecture and its practice as an all inclusive experience. By radically liberating her praxis from it's conventional tools or classical forms of architecture, she creates spaces to return to the very essence of her view as an architect.
