Aga Kuś is an architectural designer specializing in collaborative housing design in hazard-prone areas and is currently pursuing her PhD in Architecture at KITLV and TU Delft. She has a strong background in resilient neighborhood planning and incremental building design, developed through her studies and work at TU Delft, Turin Polytechnic, and Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. Committed to advancing affordable and adequate housing through community engagement, her design work includes incremental social housing projects in Mumbai, India, and flood-adaptive circular housing in Bandung, Indonesia

In her PhD project, undertaken as part of the Island(er)s at the Helm group, she developed and applied the "Designing for a flow" approach to create safe, sustainable housing that supports gradual improvements and adaptations in St. Martin. Her goal is to design affordable, resilient solutions tailored to the needs of low-income communities in the Caribbean.
