Maximilian Gwiazda completed his PhD at Cambridge University in 2007, with a dissertation in the History and Philosophy of Architecture, entitled, Engaging with the World: Cistercian Reform, Architecture and Medieval Society in the Languedoc. This explored how monastic reform and its architectural embodiments related to the urban renascence of the High Middle Ages. It concentrated on the spatial dimensions of everyday practice and interactions within concrete topographies in relation to a web of social and religious tensions, investigating how physical and symbolic boundaries could help to negotiate conflictual identities.
Gwiazda is a founding member and former president of “Architecture Sans Frontières – Cambridge” (www.asf-uk.org), an international network of academics, practitioners and public agencies dedicated to the social dimensions of urban development.
Gwiazda holds a BA in History from King’s College London, and an MPhil in History and Philosophy of Architecture from Cambridge University.
