He is one of the most famous architects and travellers of the second half of the 20th century, researching, documenting and popularising the achievements of world architecture in Poland, and promoting Polish architecture in the world – ‘ambassador’ and ‘window to the world’ to the post-war architectural community of Eastern Europe.

Marek and Ewa Dziekoński are one of several pairs of architects who, together with Hanna Adamczewska and Kazimierz Wejchert, Maria and Andrzej Czyżewski, and Bożena and Janusz Włodarczyk, co-created the town of Nowe Tychy.
Stanisław Niemczyk, Architect
One of the most outstanding and original creators of Polish contemporary architecture. Born in Czechowice-Dziedzice, he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Cracow University of Technology (1968) and spent most of his professional and family life in Tychy.
Jerzy Witeczek, Architect
Author of over 150 completed constructions in Poland and abroad. Winner of almost thirty awards and distinctions in national and international competitions.
Janusz and Bożena Włodarczyk, Architects
At the end of the 1950s, at the invitation of Kazimierz and Hanna Wejchert, they came to Upper Silesia where they linked their professional and private lives during the construction of the new Tychy. Their joint projects and implementation of educational, residential, service, commercial and sacred buildings have become a permanent feature of the town’s landscape and that of many other towns in the Silesian voivodeship.
