Jan-Carlos Kucharek

Jan-Carlos Kucharek
Assistant Editor

Not to be held back by his dubious Mediterraneano-Slavonik origins, Carlos gained his diploma in architecture at London’s Bartlett School, and qualified at Foster and Partners, working on City commercial projects. Architecture being a bad habit he just can’t kick, he still practises for half the week, the other half being spent at the RIBA J and freelancing for construction mags.
Book choice: The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
Favourite object: TV/ Asplund’s Keyhole to the Woodland Cemetery Crematorium, Stockholm
Guilty secret: The perfect margharita
