ILMM

ILMM, founded by Tomasz Starczewski, is a research-driven architectural practice that operates at the intersection of design, research, and innovation, exploring architecture through systems thinking and scenario-based design. ILMM aims to develop process-driven frameworks that address complexity, adaptability, and spatial narratives, fostering collaborations with diverse professionals and embracing cutting-edge technologies to deliver forward-thinking architectural solutions.
