Jadwiga Grabowska-Hawrylak (born October 29, 1920 – died June 4, 2018[1]) was a Polish architect active between 1954 and 1993.
[5] In 1950, Grabowska-Hawrylak graduated from the Wrocław University of Technology, after having completed a thesis on interior design.
Her first professional work was a historic reconstruction of Burgher houses in Wrocław's market square.
[3] Her work – especially "Manhattan", the residential estate at Plac Grunwaldzki, perhaps her best-known project – became emblematic of Brutalism, but unintentionally so: her planned white balconies filled with greenery were built with gray concrete and left unpainted.
[3] Her unbuilt works include a tourist center in Como, Italy, residential development in Manila, the Philippines, and a New Urbanist housing estate in Oleśnica, in southwestern Poland.
