Kaja Deleżuch was born in Poland and holds a BSc and MArch from the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. She is an architect and design-driven researcher with international experience across the UK, India, Poland, Australia, and Germany.
Her work operates across architecture and urbanism, treating design and construction as spatial research and the city as a condition shaped by architectural decisions. Grounded in the design–build model, her practice engages material systems, craft, and climate-responsive construction, translating conceptual questions directly into built form through close collaboration with in-house construction teams. Over several years, she coordinated a multidisciplinary team under the guidance of B. V. Doshi, developing planning strategies for the residential sector of a large-scale settlement in India.
At the urban scale, her work approaches the city as a constructed condition rather than an abstract policy framework. Through the study of thresholds, boundaries, and residential typologies, she investigates how architecture scripts everyday encounters, regulates access and visibility, and mediates between private and public realms. Operating between building and city, her work positions architecture as a political instrument that embeds agency and structures collective life through ordinary, inhabitable elements.
Kaja has taught in both institutional and on-site learning environments, coordinating international research programs for the Institute of Architecture at Camilo José Cela University and the University of Queensland, and supervising thesis students as an Assistant Professor at Dayananda Sagar College of Architecture. She also co-founded a design–build cooperative in Bangalore, leading small- to mid-scale projects combining traditional craft with contemporary techniques.
Since 2021, she has been a participant in the PEP↗– Practice-Based Doctoral Program at TU Berlin, where she investigates thresholds as spatial devices mediating the relationship between private and public realms and their role in enacting local political agency. She is a member of the CA²RE↗– Community for Artistic and Architectural Researchand works as an independent practitioner based in Berlin.
