It begins with Mister, who won first place in the contest for the most beautiful building built in 1965 – the semi-detached house on Wojciecha z Brudzewa Street.

Our guide will be Krzysztof Ziental, an art historian and monument expert.

Workshops
The walk will be complemented by a reminiscence and impressions workshop with Marta Sieczkowska. The workshop will be a meeting based on conversation and the exchange of impressions gathered during the architectural walks in the footsteps of the book "Mister Wrocław.".
Participants will explore their experiences, memories, and emotions associated with the places they visit, and then translate them into creative activities. The process will create large-format maps—personal and collective records of experiences. Using collage, prints, drawing, and note-taking techniques, participants will visualize their reflections, creating unique, multi-layered images of memory.
