ARCHITECTURE
I obtained my architecture degrees from the Poznań University of Technology and Architectural Association, London. I write and lecture about architecture and urban planning, I also cooperate on architecture projects as a freelancer.
Since 25 years I advocate for and work towards sustainable architecture and green compact cities.
