- Associate Lecturer
- Interior Design MA
Sylwia Janka Poltorak, also known as Lobster Architect, is venturing between London (UK) and London (Kiritimati) investigating the impact of architectural exteriors and interiors on cognitive performances and bodily functions.
Sylwia's research is oriented around human longevity, happiness and well-being, and how this can be enhanced and sustained by architecture. She also studies absurdity and playfulness as agents of change in the built environment.
In addition to her academic practice, Sylwia is a yoga teacher looking into the links between the restorative effects yoga has on the human body and architecture and the built environment in general.
Sylwia graduated from The Bartlett School of Architecture (BSc & MArch Architecture) in 2019, where she won the Archigram Award for cheerfulness in design.
