Along with his academic career he has been developing his architectural practice, which has resulted with more than 150 projects and 70 competitions. His collaboration with some of our most eminent architects and professors is an example that architecture as a team work does not jeopardize one’s own unique identity and character. His work demonstrates a combination of qualities of talent, vision and commitment, put together in the multiple layers of what architecture should be: practicing, teaching, competition, team work, publishing and unselfish dedication to the well-being of the profession through his engagement in the Association of Architects.
Maybe the best way to describe Guleski’s work is an architecture which is created at the intersection of science and art. The sum of his work builds an incredible body of knowledge for future generations”,
