4. Scientific accomplishments, following Art. 16 Para 2 of the Act on Academic Degrees and Titles and on Artistic Degrees and Titles of 14 March 2003 (Official Journal No. 65, Pos. 595 with amendments): 4.1. I submit my own monographic book as a scientific achievement for assessment: Miłosz Walerzak, Ogrody regularne na terenie dawnych Prus. Identyfikacja nawarstwień kompozycyjnych jako podstawa ochrony i kreacji krajobrazu wybranych założeń parkowo-ogrodowych (Regular Gardens in Former Prussia, The Identification of Compositional Layers as the Basis for the Protection and Creation of Landscape in Selected Park and Garden Complexes). Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego w Poznaniu, Poznań 2017, ISBN 978-83-7160-864-3; in Polish (abstracts in English and German) 320 pages, (192 original analyses, schemes and illustrations, including: 173 colour illustrations and 18 black and white ones). 4.2. The scientific/artistic objective of the aforementioned study, its results and their possible application The original monograph Regular Gardens in Former Prussia, The Identification of Compositional Layers as the Basis for the Protection and Creation of Landscape in Selected Park and Garden Complexes, summarises my research on historical garden complexes with regular compositional styles which I conducted between 2007 and 2016. The monograph featured gardens in former Prussia. The aim of the study was graphic reconstruction of geometrical garden compositions in selected palace and garden complexes established in the 17th and 18th centuries by means of research and analyses specified in the methodology. The study encompassed research and analyses of: Wilków Wielki, Prosna, Bęsia, Holstein, Marków, Kwitajny, Drogosze, and Friedrichstein, i.e. eight selected palace and garden complexes located in former Prussia (at present: Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and Kaliningrad Oblast (Russia). The research resulted in analyses and drawings in the form of projections and perspectives. They were particularly useful for identification of compositional layers, which were used as the basis for the protection and creation of landscape in palace and garden complexes. The monograph presented a very likely appearance of geometrical garden compositions and


4

spatial arrangement of palace and garden complexes, which together with the surrounding landscape, were characteristic of selected decades in the 17th and 18th centuries. There have been more or less detailed references to the of palace and garden complexes in former Prussia in available literature. Some publications discussed the problem of these complexes fully and in detail, whereas others covered the issue only in individual chapters or included perfunctory references only. Most publications presenting former mansion complexes treat the surrounding gardens and their compositions very superficially. These publications usually describe architectural complexes or history of the families who owned these estates. Since the late 16th and early 17th century geometrical garden composition were created near private estates in Prussia. Little is known about the first garden compositions. Supposedly, most of them were utility gardens. In the beginning ornamental gardens were relatively rare. Their layouts and proportions corresponded to medieval quartered arrangements. In the early 17th century there were noticeable traits of simplified Renaissance style with additional layers of medieval gardens., e.g. Wilkowo Wielkie. These arrangements were located near mansions and they did not have any particular axial or compositional connections with the building. In Prussia there were hardly any Renaissance gardens with stylistically pure compositions. Likewise, this style was not particularly marked in manorial architecture. There are only individual examples of buildings with traits of this style. On the contrary, the baroque style could be seen in many places. The second half and the end of the 17th century was the time when baroque gardens were created due to the rapid development of building in that area. Conspicuous baroque mansions were built and new geometrical gardens were established near them, e.g. Prosna, Bęsia, Gładysze, Kamieniec, Słobity, Sztynort, Markowo, Kwitajny, Holstein, Drogosze, Friedrichstein. The programme and spatial layout differed considerably in the size of individual estates, their area and diversity of compositional elements, but the constructors tried to keep the same quality and compositional standards as in the models in France, the Netherlands and Germany. The monograph presented examples of palace and garden compositions in former Prussia which were influenced by the French and Dutch school and very noticeably inspired by Italian baroque solutions. Terraced garden compositions perfectly matched hilly areas in former Prussia. The monograph analysed the spatial composition and measurement characteristics of selected geometrical gardens based on historical materials and field research. If historical materials were available, the author presented stages of transformation in the composition which took place in consecutive years as well as mutual relations with the mansion and surrounding landscape. The palace and garden complexes, the outline of their history and ideograms of the reconstruction of the composition are documents of the historical appearance of these estates. The author presented specific aspects concerning selected estates, which used to exhibit high standard of garden art and architecture, corresponding to the period in history. The criteria used for the selection of estates for research enabled the choice of representatives of high standard of geometrical compositions of garden art.


5

The estates were selected according to the following criteria:

regular, geometrical composition, e.g. medieval, renaissance or baroque style,

characteristic elements of the programme, which match not only the period in history but also the style in which they were created (it particularly applied to the garden part),

identifiable and legible relics proving the regular form of composition (later stylistic transformations were very important for this aspect),

regular composition, at least partly documented in archival materials.

The last two criteria considerably influenced the course of research even if they were partly met. Historical plans and drawings supplemented information about estates if their regular composition was not fully legible upon site inspection. By analogy, if there were few archival materials about an estate, very detailed site inspection and inventorying provided additional information. The research methodology was divided into the following six stages:

I. Specifying the aim, choosing a group of estates according to the selection criteria and specifying the range of research.

II. Collecting archival materials, assessment of the reliability of contained information and their usefulness for further analytical work.

III. Historical analysis of estates and identification of historical boundaries and areas of individual garden estates.

IV. Analysis of spatial composition, including the identification of individual elements of the garden programme, analysis of the arrangement of compositional axes, measurement characteristics and historical scenic connections. This stage also included analyses based on the results of field research. Compositional relics were identified and divided into four groups: elements of vegetation, architecture, topography and water.

V. Collection of final data and formulation of conclusions. They were used to formulate guidelines and premises for making ideograms of reconstruction of selected historical garden estates.

VI. The final results were presented in the form of a series of reconstruction ideograms.

The research on the spatial composition and analysis of measurement characteristics revealed a wide range of compositional dependences as well as specific and individual solutions. Aspects related with the location of estates and their relations with the surrounding landscape were important for the research. Eight estates located in former Prussia were selected for identification of compositional layers, which was the basis for the protection and creation of landscape in palace and garden estates. Wilkowo Wielkie, Prosna, Bęsia, Holstein, Markowo, Kwitajny, Drogosze and Friedrichstein are eight mansion complexes with geometrical gardens characterised by stylistic diversification. The reconstruction ideograms resulting from the research and


6

analyses present the historical compositions and spatial arrangements of these complexes, which underwent major transformations or were destroyed and became illegible. The analysis of the selected estates showed the individual character of their compositions, programmes and location in natural landscape. The abundance of natural waterbodies, rivers and brooks, which is characteristic of the region, was used for water elements in gardens, whereas the diversified terrain enriched the composition of these estates topographically. The research and analyses resulted in the following most important conclusions: 1. Few relics of the former 17th and 18th century geometrical compositions have been

preserved due to numerous stylistic transformations in the 19th century.

2. The estates under study could be divided into three groups according to their stylistic characteristics: I - Wilkowo Wielkie – the renaissance style; II - Prosna and Bęsia – transitional composition combining elements of the renaissance and early baroque styles; III - Markowo, Kwitajny, Holstein, Drogosze, Friedrichstein – noticeable traits of the baroque style.

3. The measurement characteristics (garden construction modules) were legible in complex

and multi-interior baroque compositions (Drogosze, Friedrichstein). The rules of spatial layout were less legible in Holstein, Markowo, Kwitajny, and Bęsia as well as in renaissance estates and those combining the renaissance and baroque styles (Wilkowo Wielkie and Prosna). The measurement (module) characteristics in individual estates were characterised by the following ratios:

Wilkowo Wielkie, Friedrichstein – 1:2 and 1:3;

Drogosze, Holstein – 1:3;

Bęsia –1:3 and 1:5

Kwitajny, Markowo – 1:2

Prosna – 1:2 and 1:5. 4. The sequences of consecutive interiors (and view sceneries) were located along the

main axis. They followed exquisite and notable French models, such as Versailles and Vaux-le-Vicomte. The following arrangements of garden interiors were distinguished:

single-interior (Bęsia, Wilkowo),

double-interior (Drogosze, Kwitajny, Holstein, Markowo),

triple-interior (Prosna),

quadruple-interior (Friedrichstein). `Individual interiors differed in their layout along the main axis:

symmetrical arrangements (along one axis): Bęsia, Drogosze, Kwitajny, Holstein, Markowo, Friedrichstein,

asymmetrical arrangements (many axes): Wilkowo Wielkie, Prosna. 5. The palace complexes could be accessed by bridges or dykes stretching over water

elements. Canals, rivers, ponds and small lakes were the water elements which played a


7

significant role in the composition. They surrounded or bordered the complexes under study:

Drogosze – a semi-circular arrangement of three ponds,

Friedrichstein – a system of canals, lake and pond,

Prosna – a system of canals, ponds and a natural meander of a river,

Kwitajny – a system of four ponds connected by canals,

Wilkowo Wielkie – a moat and pond,

Holstein – a river,

Bęsia – a lake. 6. Numerous scenic openings and axes were important compositional elements in the

gardens under study. Later these historical scenic connections became modified (the geometrical garden composition was transformed into a scenic park) or obliterated due to negligence. The main axes were designated by characteristic elements, such as ponds, lakes, and rivers. The estates were located so as to include pronounced water elements as extensions of the main axes, e.g. Friedrichstein (a lake and pond), Bęsia (a pond and lake), Holstein (a river), Drogosze (a river) and Markowo (a pond). At present the scenic connections are vestigial and poorly legible.

The interminglement of various solutions from geometric compositions and the use of varied terrains abundant in natural water elements resulted in the development of a specific individual style, which was distinct from other European compositions made at the time. Use of research

This publication considerably extended the knowledge of historical manorial estates and geometrical garden art created at some periods in history. I attempted to reconstruct the former composition and specific character of spatial arrangements, resulting in unique identity of historical gardens, by making numerous projections and perspectives based on scientific investigations and analyses. The trend of the research follows the current search for new methods and trends used for cognitive analyses and valuation of historical green space arrangements, which are part of the cultural heritage and landscape. The role of compositional layers is particularly important because they may affect the legibility of the original composition and the value of relics. The character of investigations extends the resource of research methods used for revalorisation and conservation of historical garden estates. The methods used in the research are the author’s contribution to the methodology in this scientific discipline and specialisation and as such it can be used as a set of procedures to follow in research on other garden estates. The monograph has both scientific and educational character. It can be used for academic purposes by universities as well as state and local government institutions responsible for conservation of monuments and spatial planning.

The research methods extend the teaching material which can be used in seminars, lectures, design tasks and examinations. As a teacher of conservation subjects, I use elements of the methodology, data analysis and interpretation for identification of relics and compositional layers. When I was employed at the Poznań University of Life Sciences in 2010, I proposed and introduced lectures and classes including analysis of spatial composition and measurement characteristics into the curriculum of subjects teaching revalorisation of historical garden estates in the field of Landscape Architecture. The conclusions from these studies can be very useful for planners, urbanists, architects, landscape architects and conservators, as well as local authorities designating specific trends of conservation works to save monuments, which are elements of the cultural heritage and landscape.

5. Other scientific research (artistic) accomplishments 5.1. Scientific research From 1995 to 2001 I was a student at the Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Horticulture, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Poland. I participated in student workshops and scientific trips which focused on the conservation of the cultural landscape in Poland and other western and southern European countries. I became interested in historical manorial complexes and the art of historical gardens next to these estates. During my scientific trips and workshops I explored historical gardens in the regions of Masovia, Greater Poland and Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (Warmia, Masuria, Powiśle). I became particularly interested in the estates in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (former East Prussia). When I was researching these areas, I became fascinated with baroque gardens established in the late 17th and 18th centuries and transformed into scenic gardens in the 19th century only to restore their regular composition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The changes in the structure of vegetation and transformations of their stylistic forms which took place in consecutive decades resulted in numerous compositional layers. They are a fascinating field for research and analysis of relics of former garden compositions and attempts to reconstruct their former appearance. Increasingly advanced research methods and systematic extension of knowledge of the history of gardens and conservation procedures produced increasingly accurate research results and interpretations. My fascination with this issue resulted in my master’s thesis ‘Revalorisation of the Mansion Complex in Sztynort Wielki’, supervised by dr inż. Anna Majdecka -Strzeżek, (PhD Eng.) and distinguished by the Dean of the Faculty in 2001. My thesis was based on a visit to archives, extensive historical analysis of the estate and detailed field research and analyses, which resulted in a concept of revalorisation of the historical park and the surrounding architectural complexes. It was my first study where I presented ideograms of the reconstruction of the garden and park composition at three historical stages. I used scant cartographic materials and early 20th-century photographic documentation as well as detailed inventory of the tree stand, which specified the age of individual trees. This part of my study inspired me to continue my research and improve the methodology which could


9

be used for the reconstruction of the historical composition of degraded parks and gardens if there are insufficient archival materials. Since the beginning of my employment at universities my scientific research activity has been closely related with my teaching activity. In October 2001 I started working as a university teacher at the Department of Landscape Architecture, Warsaw University of Ecology and Management, Poland. In the beginning I taught designing. Later I worked as an assistant lecturer, extended my knowledge and improved my conservation skills under the supervision of Professor Janusz Bogdanowski. In consequence, I started teaching how to conserve and revalorise historical garden complexes. Simultaneously, for two terms in 2001 and 2002 I was employed at the Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Poland. I taught history of gardens as well as conservation and revalorisation of historical garden estates. At the time I started conducting research for my doctoral dissertation. I concentrated on historical gardens, especially baroque ones in Warmia and Masuria. I was interested in their composition, the genera and species of plants, technical solutions in elements of garden architecture, their state of preservation, legibility of the composition and historical scenic connections with the surrounding landscape. I explored archives in search for iconographic and cartographic materials which showed the former appearance of these estates. Simultaneously, I used historical plans and analysed them trying to find the mathematical principles of the composition, planning and division of space in regular gardens. When I was searching for measurement characteristics and modular composition of gardens, I concluded that these estates were characterised by unique specificity of historical green space arrangements created in former Prussia. My first publications concerned this subject, e.g.: Miłosz Walerzak, (2007). Aspekty kompozycji wybranych ogrodów barokowych Mazur i Powiśla, Międzynarodowy Kongres Architektów Krajobrazu, Czasopismo Techniczne Politechniki Krakowskiej, zeszyt 10/2007, Rok 104, Kraków, 104-106

The scientific research conducted between 2002 and 2007 resulted in my doctoral dissertation ‘French Gardens in the Landscape of Warmia and Masuria - a Case Study’, supervised by dr hab. inż. arch. Zbigniew Myczkowski, (PhD Eng. Arch.), a professor of the Cracow University of Technology, Poland. My dissertation was distinguished and I was conferred a doctoral degree in April 2007. Some problems discussed in my dissertation were supplemented with new results of the research (especially perspective garden reconstruction ideograms) which I conducted for three years after my doctoral examination. It resulted in a monograph published in 2010: Miłosz Walerzak, (2010). Gładysze, Kamieniec, Słobity, Sztynort. Ogrody barokowe przy rezydencjach dawnych Prus, Wydawnictwo Borussia, Olsztyn; język polski, 160 stron, 131 autorskich analiz, schematów i ilustracji barwnych

In 2011 this monograph received three awards: the 1st Ars Libris Award in the book contest organised by Przegląd Wydawnictw Regionalnych, the 2nd Award of the Rector of the University of Warmia and Masuria for the best publication promoting Warmia,


10

Masuria and Powiśle and a Special Award of the President of Olsztyn - EKSLIBRIS by Zbigniew Urbalewicz. Between 2007 and 2010 a series of my scientific studies on the historical aspects of gardens and their research methodology was published:

In 2010 I began a new stage of my research, which coincided with my employment at the Department of Green Space and Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Poznań University of Life Sciences. At the time the main subjects of my scientific research concerned selected aspects of cultural landscape, namely:

a) the methodology of research on historical gardens, analysis of the state of their preservation, legibility of composition and stylistic layers,

b) assessment of the state of their preservation of historical values in garden and park

estates, c) analysis of the composition and measurement characteristics in baroque gardens d) the influence of urban development on the historical arrangement and composition of

parks and gardens, e) assessment of the influence of environmental variables on the health of selected tree

species in parks in cities.

The common problem discussed in my publications and scientific research is historical green space arrangements, including park and garden complexes, which usually accompanied historical architecture, and the influence of surrounding cities, villages and open landscape on these arrangements. The results of my research were systematically published in reviewed articles in scientific periodicals or chapters of reviewed monographs written in Polish and English. Apart from the aforementioned monograph ‘Gładysze, Kamieniec, Słobity, Sztynort. Baroque Gardens near Mansions in former Prussia’, published in 2010, I authored and co-authored 36 publications (10 individual publications and 26 co-authored ones), which appeared between 2007 and 2017, i.e. after my doctoral dissertation. Apart

My research results were also presented in papers read at scientific conferences. Between 1999 and 2006 I participated in three conferences (a poster in 1999 and two papers read in 2001 and 2006). When I did my doctorate, between 2007 and 2017 I participated in fifteen conferences and I read individual and co-authored papers at eleven of them. I was particularly satisfied to participate in the International Congress of Landscape Architects in Cracow, where I read a paper, and in eight consecutive Landscape Architects’ Forums, seven of which were organised after my doctorate. I read individual and co-authored papers in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Since 2006 I have participated in consecutive Horticultural Conferences organised by the Cracow University of Technology and Władysław Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences. During these scientific meetings we discussed problems of historical and contemporary green space compositions and their role and location in urban areas and outside cities. These aspects strictly correspond with my research, especially in the context of historical parks and gardens. In 2006 and 2007 I read individual papers at consecutive Horticultural Conferences in Cracow. In 2014, 2015 and 2016 I read co-authored papers. Apart from that, I took part in two international conferences and one international scientific seminar on the cultural heritage of Warmia and Masuria. The meetings were organised in Olsztyn (Poland), Göerlitz (Germany) and Galiny (Poland) by the Wspólnota Kulturowa Borussia Association from Olsztyn, the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation from Göerlitz, Academia Baltica from Lübeck (Germany) and the Polish-German Foundation for Conservation of Cultural Monuments. During these meetings I read two papers on historical parks and gardens near manorial complexes in former Prussia. In 2006 during the scientific seminar ‘Gutshäuser im Ostseeraum: Erbe und Zukunft zwischen Weichsel und Memel’ I read a paper titled ‘Baroque Gardens in Former Prussia – History, Development and Composition Problems’. In 2008 during the Polish-German Symposium I read a paper titled ‘The Palace and Garden Complex in Sztynort Wielki - History and Development of Garden Composition’.

I was invited by the Herder Institute in Marburg, Germany to participate in the research project ‘Virtual reconstructions in transnational research environments’. In 2013 I was invited to read the paper titled ‘Schlodien and Friedrichstein. Archive Materials, Research and Analyses’ in English at a teleconference. It concerned two manorial complexes in former Prussia, which were significant to the research project. Since my employment at the Department of Green Space and Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Poznań University of Life Sciences I have cooperated with training centres, e.g. the National Centre for Agricultural Education in Brwinów, Poland. During the training in 2014 I gave a lecture and conducted field investigations. I have cooperated with local government institutions, such as commune councils, which commissioned concepts of public space development and students prepared them as part of their master’s theses. These concepts have not only educational character and the final effect of studying landscape architecture but also they are put into practice by communes. In 2016 the Naramowice Estate Council in Poznań invited the Poznań University of Life Sciences to collaborate on a design of a park to be established in the estate. Second degree students of landscape architecture prepared a series of designs under my supervision during classes in integrated designing. The designs were submitted to the Naramowice Estate Council. Having consulted the residents, in 2017 the best design was selected in a contest. At the moment detailed designs are being prepared and the park will be financed from the Poznań Citizens’ Budget 2017. In 2009 I was consulted by Arkady Publishing House on a scientific publication on historical gardens. The monograph by Lucia Impelluso was titled ‘Gardens and Mazes, Lexicon – Art and Iconography’. It was published by Arkady Publishing House in 2009 (380 pages). 5.2. Creative achievements When I was still a student, between 1995 and 2001, I prepared my first projects in landscape architecture. I was able to do it because I had received secondary education and a diploma of a technician specialising in green space arrangement and care when I attended Green Space Technical Secondary School, Czesław Nowak Green Space School Complex in Radzymin, Poland. Studying landscape architecture at university extended and developed my designing skills considerably. When I graduated and received a diploma of a Master of Engineering in 2001, I prepared numerous concepts and designs for private investors (house gardens) and the public sector (public open spaces). In 2005 I was a co-author of designs for the Warsaw Military University of Technology: a design of recreational space in the main courtyard of the Warsaw Military University of Technology and a design of recreational spaces for the staff and students of the Warsaw Military University of Technology. My designs were implemented in 2006. Apart from that, in 2006 I co-authored three designs for the National Defence University of Warsaw: a design of recreational spaces for the staff and students of the National Defence University of Warsaw, a design of green space near the main building of the National Defence University of Warsaw and a design of leisure and


14

recreational spaces for students of the University near the halls of residence. The designs were implemented in 2007 (authors: Miłosz Walerzak and Krzysztof Sukiennik). I took part in design contests. In 2003 I co-authored a design (team: Danuta Barańska, Jakub Botwina, Emilia Janeczko, Miłosz Walerzak) in international Peter-Joseph-Lenné-Preis design contest, where we reached the semi-final. In 2006 I co-authored the design ‘Revalorisation of the Park in Żelazowa Wola’ (team: Jan Olizar, Jacek Knothe, Andrzej Chmiel, Miłosz Walerzak, Anna Błaszkiewicz, Jakub Botwina), which was presented at the contest organised by the Association of Polish Architects, Warsaw Branch, where we received the 2nd award. During my career I tried to develop my creative skills in landscape architecture. It is particularly important, because I taught designing. When I was conferred the degree of a Doctor of Technological Sciences in Architecture and Urban Planning in 2007, I continued my designing activity. Apart from designs of private house gardens, I made conservation designs, including concepts of revalorisation. In 2008 I prepared a design of revalorisation of plant compositions in the historical mansion and park complex in Gałki near Siedlce, Poland (implemented in 2008). In 2014 I was head of the team responsible for a concept of revalorisation of a fragment of the historical palace and park complex in Gorzyń, Poland (authors: Miłosz Walerzak, Anna Walerzak, Piotr Urbański, Michał Krzyżaniak and Dariusz Świerk). The concept was prepared in collaboration between the Poznań University of Life Sciences and the Village Council in Gorzyń. All analyses, results, conservation guidelines and the design were published in ‘Nauka Przyroda Technologie’, a scientific journal of the Poznań University of Life Sciences. I set up and became head of a scientific research team (Miłosz Walerzak, Piotr Urbański, Dariusz Świerk and Michał Krzyżaniak) at the Department of Green Space and Landscape Architecture and we worked on the last project together. The team conducts scientific research on historical green space arrangements in urban areas and outside cities, particularly on parks and gardens near historical mansions. The designs concerning the historical palace and park complex in Godurowo, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland, which I made in 2016 and 2017, deserve special attention. So far I have individually prepared three designs: a design of an orchard and a goods garden with ornamental plants, a concept of a regular rose garden, and a design of a Japanese garden in the historical palace and park complex in Godurowo. The designs are being implemented at the moment. The last design covers an area of more than 2 ha and it is the first stage of design work to be continued in 2018 and 2019. Between 2007 and 2016 I also prepared conservation studies and analyses of different complexity. Between 2007 and 2008 I worked on a concept of revalorisation of the palace and park complex in Wilanów. I prepared analyses of the spatial composition and measurement characteristics and a concept of revalorisation of the road system in the upper terrace of the historical palace and park complex in Wilanów. I also prepared analyses of the spatial composition and measurement characteristics and a concept of revalorisation of the baroque garden next to the conservatory in the historical palace and park complex in Wilanów. All these works were commissioned by the design studio Autorska Pracownia Projektowa – Ewa Wowczak Jerzy Wowczak from Cracow. In 2007 I


15

cooperated with the landscape architecture studio PLENERIA from Warsaw. I prepared analyses of the spatial composition and measurement characteristics as well as ideograms of reconstruction of the historical mansion and park complex in Niegowić near Tarnów, Poland. Apart from that, in 2009 I prepared a conservation study including cartographic and iconographic analyses of archival materials, the spatial composition and measurement characteristics of the historical palace and park complex in Otwock Wielki, Poland. The work was commissioned by a private investor. In 2008 I participated in the Polish Cultural Landscape Conservation Programme. I was responsible for a cartographic analysis, which I made as part of the Programme of the National Centre for Research and Documentation of Monuments in Warsaw. I made a graphic analysis of 150 maps of individual communes, voivodeships and the entire area of Poland. In 2016 I prepared a conservation study: ‘An Analysis of Archival Materials, Spatial Composition and Measurement Characteristics and Ideograms of Reconstruction and Composition of the Historical Castle, Garden and Park Complex in Zator, Poland’. The study was commissioned by a private investor (the owner of the complex). My elaboration included an analysis of archival materials, dendrochronological analysis (the age and species structure of the tree stand), analysis of the spatial composition, ideograms of reconstruction (composition) of the historical complex at different periods in history, comparative analysis of spatial composition transformations, analysis of measurement characteristics and construction modules of the garden, analysis of historical and current scenic connections, conclusions and guidelines concerning revalorisation of the complex. My creative contribution to all of the aforementioned designs and studies is listed in Appendix 5. Selected examples are listed in Appendix 6.

Additionally, my practice in landscape architecture resulted in more than ten designs of development of house gardens and green space surrounding other buildings. I was the chief designer of the projects commissioned by private investors.
