architektura to nie tylko ambicje

"Architektura to nie są tylko ambicje. Myślę, że o wiele ważniejsza jest pasja, zaangażowanie, marzenia, plany, zainteresowania... To jest taka praca, o której nie można przestać myśleć. Z drugiej strony, jeśli architekt jest za ambitny, to może być bardzo nieszczęśliwy, ponieważ te ambicje nie zawsze można zrealizować".

Wszystkie projekty dotychczasowe Ewy Kuryłowicz przeplatają się z twórczością jej męża Stefana Kuryłowicza z którym współpracowała. Nie wiadomo jak potoczą się dalsze losy pracowni po tragicznej śmierci Stefana Kuryłowicza w czerwcu tego roku. Niemniej jednak Ewa Kuryłowicz jest przykładem kobiety silnej, zawodowo odnoszącej sukcesy, czynnie działającej w świecie naukowym (prof. PW) i architektonicznym oraz matki dwóch synów.
