📚✨ Here is our second edition of the Revive magazine! This time, we take you into the fascinating world of ‘heritage’! 🏛️ We delve deep into some of our inspiring heritage projects – Vynckier in Ghent (p.18), Cavallia in Poznan (p.8), and Stocznia Cesarska in Gdansk (p.12).

🗣️ Innovation and modern architecture. Do they go hand in hand with heritage? We engaged in conversations with some intriguing experts.
