Krystyna Johnson lived through the Nazi occupation of Warsaw with its famine, repressions and terrors, which taught her the need to conserve, to recycle and, at all costs, to avoid waste. She helped found SEDA and got huge satisfaction from teaching at the two schools of architecture in Glasgow.

After her death in 2003, it was natural that her husband, Jim, and SEDA would create a student award in her memory - the Krystyna Johnson Award, which is assessed on the criteria of sustainability.
