Synopsis of PhD:

• Harmony and perception of urban

composition in context of multi-

family residencial buildings,

emphasis placed on high-rise

residencial buildings in densly

developed city areas.

• Research for mathematical

algorithrm/model of harmony and

balance in urban enviroment.

• Use of 3D modelling and computer

graphics in aim to visualize beauty or

ugliness.

• Attempt to develop software to

evaluate level of harmony of given

area.

• Influence of high-rise multi-family

residential buildings on human

senses and behawior.

• Research on composition,

proportions and relations between

complex urban areas.

Research interests:

My current research is connected with:

• Sub-objective perception of people

• Attempt to develop a participation survey

• Graphic visualization of data (understanding

harmony)

My questions mostly emphasis on the research :

• Factors and releations that mostly influenced people

in urban complex

• Transformation of participation survey into digital

models of harmony and balances.

• Elements or areas of urban composition

My literature research is based on books of:

• History of Beauty – Umberto Eco

• Scope of Total Architecture – Walter Gropius

• The Seduction of Place – Joseph Rykwert

• Elements of urban composition – Kazimierz Wejhert

• Delirous New York - Rem Koolhaas

Research methods:

• Literature research based on

books listed above.

• Theory and philosophy provide

me with stable base

• Attempt to employ computer

graphics and programming

• Visualization to let people

understand intentions

• Participation survey provides

possibility to evaluate value of

the urban area.

• Attempt to use computer

programming based on neural

network as tool of evaluation of

urban area.

Teaching experience:

• Didactic internship at the Faculty

of Architecture

• In academic semester 2013/14 – I

was fellow teacher of major

course – Architectural Designing 2

• Basic Services – schools,

mountain shelters, hostels,

library, kindergarten

• Course addressed to

sophomore students

• Currently - fellow teacher of major

course, Architectural Designing 3

• Designing of multi-family

residential building

• Course addressed to junior

students

• Course provides

introdaction to principles

and methods of solving

problems related to

designing multi-family

residential complex.

Other relevant experience /

membership of professional bodies:

• I am employed at Wrocław University of

Technology as the lab assistant in Virtual

Medical Laboratory.

• research on laparoscopic simulator

• Research on methods of processing Motion

Capture technology

Skills I developed during work in the lab:

• Developing 3D enviroment in Medical

Simulations

• Skills in 3D modelling and rendering

• Software: Blender, 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD

Proceding jobs:

• Over 4 years of work expirence as assistant of

architect in studio.

• Skills developed: team work ability,

comunication, dealing with stressful situations,

suport office equipement and software,

• Drawing skills - from sketches to final drawings.

Conferences attended:

• City For People - attended as listener. (2014)

• Habitats 2014 (International Conference).

Reactivation of small local communities. My

article will be published in conference book -

March 2015.

• Shapes of Logic – International Conference on

Parametric Design – Wrocław March 2015. I’m

planning to attend to this conference.

Publications:

• „Elements of forming architecture of

small habiats” – chapter in book for

International Conference – Habitats

2014

• integration of people in

landscape, phenomenology of

perception, architecture of

habitat, forming of landscape,

harmony of habitat, vertical

objects in landscape,

• This article is an effort to frame

reasons, relationships and

regulations to develop computer

tools for design (plan) process.

Essential proposition is that

planed object (building) should

not disrupt harmony of habitat.
