Natasza Minasiewicz is an architect, researcher and educator active in Hong Kong and Warsaw. After four years as Research Associate and Architect at Urban Ecologies Design Lab, Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong, she now works independently and teaches at the Division of Landscape Architecture (DLA) of the same institution. She is also a doctoral candidate at The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Institute for Art and Architecture within the Construction, Materials and Technology Platform.
Her work explores the relationship between landscape and architecture through the dynamic flows of matter and time. Through her design, writing, and teaching, Natasza unveils layers of geological presence both inside and outside built spaces. By creating dialogues between architecture, art, and sciences, she seeks new modes of practice, with environmental and climate issues, local communities, and material resourcefulness at the core.
Her teaching focuses on observation and translation of dynamic topographies and atmospheric conditions, to merge design inquiry with ecological processes. Interrogating the limits of representing temporal and spatial phenomena—such as time, matter, and elemental flows—within static media like drawing and material-model making, hopes to foster future climate-responsive design strategies.
Her independent work can be found in the permanent collections of the M+ Archives and Library, Asia Art Archive, and the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Her projects have been exhibited at the 17th and 19th Venice Biennale of Architecture (Hong Kong Pavilion, 2020 and 2025), ‘Fragments of Curiosities’ at Hart House (2024), and ‘Re-locations’ at the Anita Chan Lai-Ling Gallery (2024). She was a 2019 Design Trust Fellow and a 2023 Resident at the Ma Umi Residencies in Japan.
Natasza was born in Warsaw, Poland, and earned a MSc in Architecture and Urban Planning from TU Wrocław. Since 2013, she has been living and working in Hong Kong. Her cat, Kota, resides in Warsaw, which Natasza visits frequently.
