In 1997, Daniel Karpinski (OAA, Ph.D.) had opened Daniel Karpinski Architect in Toronto, Ontario (Canada). But he was practising architecture much earlier in Europe, then in Canada. His award winning designs have been published in Architectural Design and The Canadian Architect among others. His work has been exhibited in galleries, including the Museum d’Orsay in Paris, the Aedes Gallery in West Berlin, the International Congress of Architecture in Berlin 2002, and the Cracow Biennale. Among earlier projects are Housing for Single Parents, IBA, Berlin, Germany (completed in 1994), a prize-winning redevelopment of the Jewish Town in Cracow, and Governor General’s Award for Emery Yard, North York (1994 with Julian Jacobs). In Berlin he was working together with Zaha Hadid (a Pritzker Prize Winner) on the development of the Blok 2 in South Kreuzberg, West Berlin, where his building was constructed.
He currently teaches at Ryerson University Con Ed and writes about philosophy of architecture.
He is also a writer – his book Yad (Friesenpress, 2019) received a second price at Paris Book Festival in the category of Fiction and the Polish version of Jad (Novae Res, 2019) was nominated to the European Award Angelus. His two books – I jak Inni (WL, 1998) and Fikcja (WL, 2000) were nominated to Nike Award.
