ABOUT ME

"As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown." ~

Norman Foster

I see architecture as art Studing architecture made me even more sensitive to what surrounds us, what has been created. Walking around the city, I do not pass ordinary tenements, but artistry and engineering craftsmanship, which I always closely observe and notice the details. Architecture has become my passion which I want to develop constantly

Since I was a child, I have enjoyed drawing and training it on my own. In high school the idea to orient myself to architecture appeared and it turned out to be the right choice. I also have a great interest in the field of photography and I feel most comfortable taking pictures of architecture, cities and the environment I attended a photography course, became a winner in the photography competition, organized by the National Museum in Stettin, and had the opportunity to take photos at special events

I have always been ambitious and participated in many competitions, often achieving success in them. During my undergraduate studies I participated in 7 architectural and urban design contest. My coligues and I qualifed for the Landscape Arena program The project was awarded in the "Spring Corner" competition organized by the Fractal Foundation as part of the International Event for Landscape Architects called Arena Landscape. Its presentation was given to the event guests on the Arena Landscape stage at the Poznan International Fair in November 2022.

The engineering diploma project was the completion and culmination of the first degree studies The distinguishing feature of this project is the developed proprietary rotating window modules. They make a rotation between 5 and 45 degrees, creating a dynamic façade. An accurate detail was developed for them. The project was created using Revit, the module detail was designed in AutoCad. The engineering thesis was appreciated by the reviewer and the committee allowing its defence to earn a very good grade

I am interested in both building design and urban design. I prefer to create large-scale buildings. I see each building as an individual unit, forming a common whole with its surroundings. Projects are preceded by analysis and observation of the surroundings, which allows me to create the overall shape of a future building The designed buildings should create a dialogue with the existing surroundings My goal is to further develop in the field of architecture, in particular to learn how to best use sustainable elements in my projects.

Boarding house on Kraszewski Street in Poznan

The subject of the work is a three-star boarding house with a conference center, a public restaurant and a public small park in the courtyard. The property is located in Jeżyce district, on Kraszewski Street The surroundings of the projected area are very attractive due to the nearby functions of the buildings, aesthetic qualities, architectural features and the wellconnected area It is very close to the city center from Kraszewski Street The proposed plot borders the Old Zoo The local zoning plan for this area prescribes the creation of frontage development, attaching the walls of the building to the walls of the existing buildings. The goal of the work also was to design the building using Revit, which is a BIM application. This means that the building is designed by parametric 3D modeling simultaneously on different planes needed for documentation, and it can be used by different tradesmen in one system

The designed building has 6 floors - 5 above ground and one underground, where the garage hall has been located. On the first floor, on one side of the building, there is a reception of the boarding house with security, a lobby, a small bar, administration and the necessary rooms for facility's employees The other part of the first floor has been devoted to the restaurant for guests outside of the boarding house. There is a kitchen where meals are prepared and delivered to hotel guests via a freight elevator going to the upper floor The first floor has been half allocated for conference rooms and restaurant space for hotel guests, along with a club room that includes a billiard or table tennis table. The remaining three floors are dedicated to hotel rooms. The body of the building is divided into two parts by a passageway to the courtyard, over which there is a glass connector It has three functions: it connects the two parts of the building, you can see the zoo through the glass facade, and it also acts as a hanging garden. The culmination of the entire building is the front facade, which was designed in an innovative and modern way It consists of window modules that self-rotate between 5 and 45 degrees The rotation is directed toward the southwest to get the best possible daylighting The technology of this idea is proprietary and has been developed in a very precise way to show its feasibility The rotating window module is an architectural and technological manifesto The development of this idea proves that modern technology enables contemporary architecture to do many interesting things which are worth focusing on in order to develop the field of architecture and make further breakthroughs in its subject matter. The rear elevation is a reference to the front elevation by pointing the windows towards the sun, rotating them by about 18 degrees from the building's originally flat wall The rear elevation is fixed to calm the body of the building.

The boarding house, with additional features in the form of meeting rooms and a restaurant open to all, located in a very attractive site is a very good place for different user groups By combining these functions, the building will always be vibrant with visitors The interesting front facade form, would be a major tourist attraction.

Technology Manifesto

By creating the same things over and over again so as not to disrupt the created urban fabric, we are not developing cities. Architecture is an art, but bold and original art has always exercised a superior force over what is traditional and ordinary Modern architecture has much greater possibilities, and as a result, it can excel not only in form, shape or material, but also in technological solutions This allows architects to increase the room for maneuver in design, whereby only the imagination becomes the limit

During the design work on the boarding house, an innovative idea arose to create rotating windows on the front facade Accordingly, self-supporting window modules were developed in great detail, which perform a rotation between 40 degrees The window itself is rotated relative to the facade by 5 degrees and tilts up to 45 degrees. Each module has a frame at the bottom and top on which rollers are mounted to allow movement. On the lower frame, which acts as a floor, is supported by a trapezoidal sheet, in addition, on which the platform is lined The platform is also placed on the ceiling, while on the sides of the module are mounted vertically rounded walls of the same material (metal coating). Everything is filled with polyurethane foam to provide thermal insulation. The modules are located one below the other, spaced a few centimeters apart to avoid friction with each other They are attached to a specially formed ceiling To prevent thermal bridges, displacement ventilation was used inside the rooms at the windows Completing the idea of rotating modules are perovskites pasted on their panes, which represent modern photovoltaics integrated into the building. With the modules facing the sun at the right angle, they capture as much sunlight as possible The perovskites are used to electrically power the windows so that they can move without requiring the consumption of additional energy, protecting the boarding house from additional costs

Museum of ceramic art

The theme of the work was to design an office building that also included a production facility. The idea of the project was to combine art studios for ceramic products for professionals, as well as students or amateurs who want to try their hand at working with ceramic products. The building was to combine the ceramic products plant along with a museum of ceramics, created at the time. The concept was planned at the intersection of Szewska and Stawska Streets, on the site of the current open parking lot. The building was to be attached to the existing buildings. The northern and eastern elevations overlook the view opening of an important transportation hub in Poznan

The nearest surrounding buildings have a brick façade, which was the inspiration for the openwork brick façade in the design. The building, in turn, is surrounded by all glass, which also provides an insulating layer. The building's structure is based on columns. The building is topped by a steep roof, resulting from the geometry of the roof of the building to which the development is attached. There is also a viewing terrace on the top floor, facing the Warta River. The museum's exhibition rooms are located on the first, second and third floors, along with a ceramics store and a café for visitors. Art studios, a drying room with a room with kilns for firing ceramics, and office space have been placed on the upper floors.

Academic year: 2021/2022

The main idea of the project was to develop Rataje Park, located in the southern part of Poznań.

The project area is currently an empty space, between blocks of flats The goal was to arrange the park in a way that is friendly to people and the environment. The most important element is the sports hall. The building has two floors: the first floor and level -1. On the first floor there are grandstands, a cafeteria, a changing room for visitors and public toilets On level -1 are located the players' locker rooms and the pitch

The development of the park also includes other sports fields, including tennis and soccer. A large skatepark has also been provided Care has been taken to ensure a rich plant composition, including various species of trees and shrubs The park is complemented by winding paths among the vegetation to make the time spent there more pleasant and varied.

Revitalization project at the Polish Theatre in Poznan

The project includes the revitalization of the square in front of the Polish Theater in Poznan, which is located on 27 Grudnia Street The street is located in the center of the city and belongs to its historical part It is an extension of Wolności Square

Before the war and during the interwar period, there were very compact buildings on 27 Grudnia Street, formed by frontages of buildings During World War II many buildings were destroyed, especially on the northern side of the street (only the theater survived there) After the war, the street was decongested In 1954 Okrąglak, which was a department store, was opened It was and continues to be a very important dominant feature at the intersection of 4th streets It is located at the western end of 27 Grudnia Street Currently, the southern side of December 27 Street contains compact frontage buildings, while on the northern side stands the Polish Theater, several tenement houses and two large parking lots. Along the streets, plane trees are planted, forming an avenue of plane trees

The aim of the project was to partially restore the old urban fabric by creating a development next to the Polish Theater to create an urban wall with a view opening to the theater. Care was taken with the flooring and vegetation An additional feature of the project was to take care of creating a courtyard development behind the theater, where, among other things, a stage for the summer theater was located.

Undeveloped empty space

PROBLEMATYKA MIEJSCA

Unsightly landscaped pedestrian traffic

Destroyed pre-war building structure

Disorderly greenery

27 Grudnia Street has experienced numerous transformations over the years of its existence It used to have compact buildings on both sides of the street Now the northern side, where the theater and Okrąglak are located, lacks expression The war introduced huge changes. Today there is no orderly architectural and urban wall there. The empty space created by the destroyed buildings during the war is now filled by two large parking lots unsightly pedestrian traffic and disorderly greenery
