THE EVENT
Be inspired by innovation: visit A@W!
The main reason for visiting is that A@W is THE meeting place for specifiers such as architects and interior designers to discover innovative products. This takes place in a custom-designed concept, where all attention is focused on the innovations approved by a judging panel. A@W also offers an extensive seminar and features programme. The aisles have been transformed into cozy lounge areas with free catering. Here, specifiers can exchange ideas with technical advisors and fellow architects.
Theme: REFLEXION
At ARCHITECT@WORK Warsaw, the theme Reflexion invites us to pause and look at architecture from multiple angles. Reflexion is not only about what surfaces mirror back to us; it is also about the thoughts, questions, and intentions that shape every architectural decision. It encourages us to slow down, observe what we often overlook, and reconsider the impact of the spaces we create.
In this spirit, reflexion becomes a guiding principle for innovation. It asks us to think about how materials age, how buildings respond to nature, and how our choices influence the future of our cities. Reflexion is the moment of hesitation before adding something new to the world, a moment that helps us avoid the unnecessary and focus on what truly matters. It reminds us that architecture can be powerful not only when it stands out but also when it listens, adapts, and respects its surroundings.
This year’s exhibition invites every visitor to see architecture as a shared responsibility. Each booth becomes a mirror, reflecting both creative potential and the choices we carry forward. ARCHITECT@WORK Warsaw offers a space to look deeper, to discover new possibilities, and to rethink how we build. Reflexion is our starting point, an opportunity to move ahead with clarity, purpose, and renewed awareness.
