ARTUR CHOJNACKI

URBAN DESIGNER

Urban planning is a demanding task. Human communities, with all of their complexities,
are the subject-matter with which planning professionals work.
They must possess a set of fundamental skills combined with up-to-date management techniques
in order to meet the challenges of constantly evolving urban situations.

As a graduate in architecture from the Polytechnic of Cracow, Faculty of Architecture, I completed
my academic education by obtaining a certificate in Interior Design from the University of Montreal.
I therefore have a strong theoretical background that has been strengthened and broadened during
my twenty-five years in private practice in urban planning and landscape architecture.

I am able to participate in all stages of a project, from initial inception to implementation,
given the knowledge I have acquired and the tools I have mastered in architecture, urban design,
landscape architecture and graphic design.

These particular skills allow me to:

IMAGINER answers to development problems;

CONCEIVE solutions by producing sketches, concept plans, site plans and perspective views;

ILLUSTRATE these products using various software tools;

DESIGN the layout of reports, promotional posters or other visuals.

Furthermore, I can meet the requirements of a client who prefers a product with artistic accents
by using traditional manual illustration techniques.

The many multidisciplinary projects in which I have actively participated since 1990 attest to my ability
to provide a unique expertise in project development, from initial design ideas to final technical support.
