Spolka
Civil society organisation
Košice, SlovakiaAbout
We are a team of experts in the field of architecture and sociology. Spolka was founded in 2016 in Košice as an informal collective of young women who were connected by their interest in their hometown. Building on the values of care and sustainability, Spolka has been engaged in place-making issues for more than 8 years. Currently, the collective brings together 6 members, from the fields of architecture, sociology and urban planning. Spolka has been part of several international initiatives (e.g. , New European Bauhaus Awards shortlist 2024, LINA fellow 2023, Year of Climate Care 2022 and others) and has successfully established itself in projects with the themes of caring planning and co-creation in Central Europe. In 2022, the organisation expanded its scope to include Spolka Studio, which implements the values of care and sustainability in place-making, design and architectural practice.
