I bring a wealth of expertise in the field of architectural preservation, with a focus on integrating historic conservation with modern design principles. My comprehensive approach ensures that every project I engage with respects the past while embracing the future, creating spaces that are both meaningful and innovative.
#1
Collaborating with Architects and Individual Clients
I provide expert conservation consultations for both historical architecture and modern designs within historical urban contexts. My primary focus is advising on the adaptation of historical buildings for new uses. I actively participate in the design process, analyzing structures to identify and highlight their most significant historical and aesthetic values. These elements are then creatively integrated into new interiors, ensuring a harmonious blend of modern aesthetics with the building's historic essence. On an urban scale, I consult on modern architectural projects in historical settings. By conducting detailed analyses of the architectural context, I highlight the distinctive features of the historical surroundings. This ensures that new designs maintain an aesthetic relationship with their environment, enhancing the space while respecting its historical significance. I also offer professional consultation for clients seeking to design new buildings or interiors that reflect historical architectural styles. Achieving aesthetic consistency between new designs and authentic old styles demonstrates my expertise and results in exceptional quality and client satisfaction. My consulting services cover upscale apartment complexes, hotels, residences, and both residential and commercial interiors.

Collaboration with Cultural and Academic Institutions
I am deeply committed to promoting the study of architectural history and heritage conservation. For over five years, I have led classes and lectures on the conservation of architectural and urban monuments for graduate students in the Architecture field at the Cracow University of Technology. Sharing knowledge is my passion, which is why I enthusiastically collaborate with universities and higher education institutions to conduct lectures and design student curricula. My academic specialty is the social interpretation of architectural monument aesthetics throughout history, considering political, economic, and cultural changes, with a particular focus on Central and Western Europe and North America. I explore the history of heritage conservation through writing books, publishing scholarly articles, and conducting field research and archival investigations. I also collaborate with museum curators to promote knowledge about architectural history, technology, and art. My expertise is invaluable in determining the scope of collections for exhibitions and designing the exhibits themselves. I create displays utilizing gathered collections and offer consultations on drafted designs. The essence of my work emphasizes educational accessibility, ensuring that presentations capture the spirit of the era through appropriately arranged historical collections. The design of the exhibit space plays a crucial role in the impact on the viewer and the lasting impression of the artifacts.
