c) Presentation of the scientific/artistic goal of the abovementioned work and the results that have been achieved, along with a description of their potentia! implementation

The monograph submitted for approval summarises my many-years-long academic research, which led to the formulation of an original method of assessing elements of views, perceived from the eye-level of the observer. This method can be useful both in preparing an extant state survey, as well as in the analysis of the impact of new development projects on their surroundings, in the comparing of various design alternatives or monitoring the transformation of views.

The work is primarily addressed to landscape architects, however, it can also be useful to representatives of other professions: planners, urban designers or officials, in other words-all persons who should tend to the shaping of spatial order. This method is meant to supplement existing research techniques with numerical indices which, thanks to their objective nature, will add verifiable criteria to expert assessments.Due to the lack of appropriate software, a computer application was developed that makes it possible to perform all the necessary calculations.

The notion of the measure used in the title has multiple meanings. On the one hand it can denote a comparative unit, or even a tool used to assess objects in terms of various characteristics (length, size, weight), while on the other-it can constitute a measurable criterion describing these characteristics. Of note is the fact that it can also be associated with fitting, a concept that can be ascribed to any new theory or method. The method that I proposed has yielded expected results in numerous cases, however, taking into account the complexity of the matters concerning the perception of the surroundings, it requires validation in various situations and further academic discussion.

Motivation for taking up the subject

During the writing of around a dozen expert opinions concerning the placement of new development projects within the landscape, whether commissioned by the Voivodship Conservator of Historical Monuments or various economic entities, I noticed that there had been a lack of research tools that would guarantee the reproduction of results in any given case study. Due to the complexity of the subject matter associated with the landscape, assessments performed by different researchers often did not produce the same results. The arguments used by specialists in favour of environmental protection, based on their professional knowledge and experience, were difficult to defend when confronted with other purely practical considerations or even the desire for quick profit represented by developers. In such cases, it was always the landscape that was the losing party, and the results of these decisions were irreversible.

This is why a team of researchers with which I had the possibility of cooperating started to search for methods of studying space that would guarantee objective results. As we belong to the first generations that has had the possibility to use personal computers, we observed that

These parameters can be described using an individual number, such as height or surface area, or with severa! values-like colour or shape. Due to this type of results, the method should be classified as a quantitative method.

The "7S" M ethod should constitute an element of comprehensive studies, and view analysis should be preceded by: camera! studies and an on-site visit, identifying objects that determine the identity of the landscape (landscape determinants), determining the scope of the visibility of these objects, delineating places that are significant due to the potentia! possibility of their observation and the verification of the accessibility of these places. It is important to conduct visual studies of places that are visited often, with particular emphasis on users set on the observation of the landscape (e.g. tourists).

The results of the use of the "7S" M ethod can be useful in assessing the characteristics of the components of a view, comparing them and determining the function that they play within the whole. They can lead to formulating a classification of factors that determine the quality of a view, and, as a result, to identifying "sensitive" areas that should be protected. In such places it is recommended to perform visual analyses in the case of every planned change.

Due to the interdisciplinarity of the work, which uses digital photographs, as well as image processing algorithms and calculations of various parameters that describe forms, the work's intermediate goal was to familiarise readers with selected matters of information technology.

Structure of the work

The work has been divided inio three primary sections: an analytical and theoretical section, a technical section and a practical section. The introduction features a formulalion of the goal of the work and the group to which the publication has been addressed. Afterwards, it includes a presentation of the subject of the study, the methods of research work and techniques that were employed. The end of the section includes a definition of the tempora!, factual and territorial scope of the study, as well as an outline of the work's structure.

The analytical and theoretical section covers the four chapters that follow. The first presents the state of the art, which was divided into four thematic scopes: selected systems of landscape assessment used in English-language-speaking countries and in Poland, visibility analyses, view and panorama studies and, finally, attempts at using various forms of measures and numerical indices in the precise measurement of landscape characteristics.

The following chapter includes a description of the fundamentals of visual perception and the physiology of vision, including various theories concerning the perception of brightness and colour, as well as the matter of the angular resolution of vision. It was supplemented with a description of the sequence of observation of view motifs and studies of eye movement.

The next chapter, which constitutes a natura! continuation of the previous one, is meant to describe the structure of the view and its individual components. An attempt was made to parameterise view motifs (dominant or landmark, subdominant, accent), while using the definitions of these elements.

Prior to defending my doctora! dissertation I completed a year-long training course at the Pedagogical Study Course for Assistants taught by the Centre of Pedagogy and Psychology of the T. Kościuszko Cracow University of Technology (2002).

In October of 2000 I began my employment with the CAD Studio (Computer Aided Design studio) at the Institute of Computer Modelling at the Faculty of Technical Physics and Computer Modelling of the Cracow University of Technology as an academic and teaching assistant.

In 2003 I obtained the degree of doktor nauk technicznych in the architecture and urban planning discipline at the Cracow University of Technology for the dissertation entitled Idea organiczności w architekturze - analiza, systematyka oraz perspektywy rozwoju. The dissertation's supervisor was dr hab. inż. arch. Zbigniew Radziewanowski, prof. PK. The subject of my research interests from this period include matters concerning contemporary architecture and the !atest completed architectural projects.

Research work after the defence of my doctoral dissertation (after 2003)

Chronologically speaking, the first research area that interested me after the defence of my doctora! dissertation was the possibility of using graph structures in the conceptual phase of architectural design. I cooperated in this regard with members of the team directed by prof. dr hab. Ewa Grabska, director of the Design and Computer Graphics Division of the JU and dr Janusz Szuba. This cooperation resulted in scientific articles published in journals and at an academic conference. As a part of the DS programme, I individually conducted a grant-funded research project entitled: Zastosowanie gramatyk grafowych w koncepcyjnej fazie projektowania architektonicznego (2004).

Graphs (schemes) are used by architects in the process of formulating conceptual design proposals of buildings and are often included in handbooks for designers. They aid in correctly planning rooms or zones and in taking into consideration their relative placement. Graph grammars can constitute a significant aid in the design process. Their structure makes it possible to introduce additional conditions that are set in construction law, which building and individual spaces should meet (e.g. evacuation routes, orientation relative to the cardinal directions or cross-ventilation).

Graph structures are composed of vertices that can correspond to specific interiors and relations between them (e.g. adjacency or accessibility). I proposed a graph of actions (a functional graph), as well as a graph of rooms in which users perform said actions (a forma! graph), corresponding with the previous graph. They were modelled using the semi-formal UML language ( Unifled M odelling language). This concept was considered innovative and a computer program was developed on its basis, providing the ability to verify the correctness of the functional layout of a building.

I continued my research work associated with the broadly understood application of digital technologies in landscape architecture. One of its important research fields are visibility analyses, as well as studies of active and passive exposure of objects of significance to the physiognomy of the landscape. Each time they required an innovative and unconventional

15

This cooperation resulted in my doctora! dissertation. Due to my long-term cooperation with the doctora! candidate, I was given the function of ancillary supervisor in the doctoral degree confernment procedure of dr inż. Piotr Łąbędź, whose dissertation was entitled Algorytmy frak talne w cyfrowej analizie obiektów przestrzennych (supervisor: prof. dr. hab. inż. T. Burczyński). The work was defended at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research in 2017.

In 2012 I presented the subject of view analyses using digital methods at an international research workshop organised in France by the CNRS (A. Ozimek, Digital Analysis of Scenic Views and Panora mas, Ecole thematique MoDyS 2012 [MOVE_REAL] Modelisation et visualisation de dynamique spatiales: Raisonner sur !es temps long et ses incertitudes, CNRS, Frejus 2012). The subject of the week-long meeting of researchers focused on the modelling and visualisation of spatial phenomena that occur over time.

I presented the initial phases of the "75" M ethod in the article entitled Quantitative and Qualitative Analyses of Landscape Views (2013). In it I attempted to use coefficients that describe the shape of objects and which are used in medicine and materia! engineering, to characterise architectural and landscape forms. I continued these studies in the years that followed. My most significant work in this field is my co-authorship of the academic monograph entitled Planowanie przestrzeni o wysokich wartościach k rajobrazowych przy użyciu cyfrowych analiz terenu wraz z ocenę ekonomiczną (2013). In subsequent publications I further defined the constituent elements of the method. Thus, in the article entitled Cyfrowa analiza dopasowania kolorystycznego nowych obiektów do istniejącego otoczenia (2016) I took up studies concerning the colour of buildings, particularly roofs. In the following work, entitled Zachowanie tożsamości k rajobrazu - gdzie leży granica? I pointed to the usefulness of the method in defining elements that create the identity of a place. Finally, in my!atest article, entitled Dominanta krajobrazowa - próba parametryzacji pojęcia (2019), I focused on defining the characteristics that cause architectural and natura! forms that fulfil the role oflandmarks and dominant elements in a view to stand out. This subject was also investigated as a part of a research programme funded from the DS budget, entitled Algorytmy przetwarzania obrazu w analizie fotografii krajobrazowej, which I conducted by myself in 2009.

Since 2015 I have participated in the academic research of the CUT Institute of Landscape Architecture (DS). Since 2017 I have been conducting a research project funded by a "dean's grant" entitled Obiektywizacja oceny widoków i panoram wspomagana narzędziami komputerowymi.

The automatic identification of individual elements and constituents of views and panoramas has been another of my academic interests. The preparation of an image for analysis is a very time-consuming and labour-intensive process, as it requires the careful tracing of every object (building, tree, forest surface or meadow). Furthermore, the result can depend on the precision of the operator performing this task. Imprecision can lead to a falsification of results, as it can result in changes in surface area or height, as well as the shape of a given element. If the process could be performed automatically, such errors could be avoided.

17

In the publication entitled Algorytmy przetwarzania obrazu w wyróżnianiu tworzywa kulturowego i przyrodniczego na fotografiach krajobrazowych I enumerated problems associated with landscape photography analysis, which are specific to it and do not appear in other types of images (medical, biologica!, materia!). In other disciplines imaging can be parameterised in an easier manner, e.g. by taking samples that meet specific technical criteria (e.g. samples with strictly defined thicknesses), and then properly lighting them. In the case of images depicting the landscape we are dealing with an immense diversity of visible objects, changing climate and lighting conditions or the seasonal appearance of plants. This further increases the difficulty of precisely identifying areas of the landscape that correspond to specific elements. By using a eustom photographic camera, which made it possible to photograph the infrared spectrum, I attempted to adapt the methods used in remote sensing for the purposes of detecting greenery. The results were presented in articles entitled Rejestracja panoram widokowych w zakresach pozaspektralnych jako narzędzie oceny atrakcyjności krajobrazu (2010) and Detecting Greenery in Near Infrared Images of Ground -level Scenes (2011), however, the results were not fully satisfactory. In views from human eye-level, fragments of tree trunks and branches could be seen (which were not detected as plant sections), as well as reflections off of reflective materials- glass panes and car bodies (which were misidentified as greenery).

Another idea that I described in the article entitled Discrimination of Distance-Dependent Zones in Landscape Views (2012) was the automatic division of a view into subsequent planes (proximal, intermediate, <lista!). I proposed the creation of a distance-dependant colour space, using such phenomena like aerial perspective (a heavier blue tint of the more distant parts of a view) as well as contrast decrease along with distance: contrast, saturation and colour variety.

In the work entitled Sztuczne kompozycje kolorów w segmentacji fotografii krajobrazowej (2014) I utilised an artificial colour palette modelled after the FCC standard (False Colour Compositions) used in remote sensing. I modified it using, instead of the standard RGB colour standard (which uses the red, green and blue constituent colours), the CIE Lab system (the broadest colour set, corresponding to the spectrum perceived by humans). In this case, the identification of objects using standard graphical tools provided much better effects than in the case of using standard photography.

The last of my research fields pertains to plant visualisation. lt is a difficult problem due to the geometrical complexity of plant objects and the uniqueness of every specimen. My studies pertained to algorithms that use rules that enable the creation of forms that are distinct for specific species, while at the same time providing a certain degree of freedom so that a distinctness of individual specimens can be achieved. I published the results in my work in Wirtualny ogród - o komputerowym modelowaniu iwizualizacji drzew (2017).

In connection with the interests described above, I was given the duties of ancillary supervisor of the doctoral dissertation of mgr inż. Jolanta Gintowt entitled Wnętrze krajobrazowe a parametry energetyczne budynku. Optymalizacja wielokryterialna i wielopoziomowa w projek tach architektury krajobrazu (supervisor: dr hab. inż. arch. Sabina Kuc, prof. PK). The goal of this work is to perform an analysis of the dependencies between the design of a garden, the selection and placement of plants, and the heating demand of a building.

18

In 2014 I received a joint first-degree award of the Rector of the Cracow University of Technology for the monograph entitled Planowanie przestrzeni o wysokich walorach krajobrazowych przy użyciu cyfrowych analiz terenu wraz z oceną ekonomiczną.

I participated in numerous domestic and international conferences, presenting the results of my studies and moderating academic sessions in English.

Research expertises

I cooperated with others on multiple research projects, of which I find the following documentation to be of the greatest significance:

Plan koordynacyjny dla III Kampusu UJ wraz z Parkiem Technologicznym. Etap II Rozszerzenie planu o tereny „Parku Jagiellońskiego" - director: prof. dr hab. inż. arch. Aleksander Bóhm (2000).

Adaptacja analizy możliwości kształtowania zabudowy na terenie miasta Krakowa do wymagań systemu informatycznego stosowanego w BPP oraz modernizacja treści analizy, commissioned by the Spatial Planning Bureau in Krakow, prepared as a part of a team, including: A. Bóhm, P. Ozimek, A. Ozimek, M. Kisielowski (2006).

Studium urbanistyczno - krajobrazowe do miejscowego planu zagospodarowania przestrzennego miasta Łęknica - część krajobrazowa, commissioned by the National Centre of the Study and Documentation of Heritage Sites, prepared as a part of a team including: A. Bóhm, A. Ozimek, P. Ozimek, E. Szymańska (2007).

I was also the co-author of 10 other expert opinions concerning the impact of new forms on the landscape.

International cooperation and cooperation with other centres

In 2004 I underwent a four-month academic stay in France after being invited by the CRNS in Gamsau (Groupe de Recherche pour l'Application de Methodes Scientifiques a l'Architecture et a l'Urbanisme) Marseille Luminy, France. My work was associated with knowledge modelling and visualisation and pertained to the urban structure of Medieval Krakow. Cooperation with the academics from this facility was continued in the following years. In 2012 I participated in a week-long workshop entitled Ecole thematique M oDyS 2012 [M OVE_REAL] M odelisation et visualisation de dynamique spatiales: Raisonner sur les temps long et ses incertitudes, organised by the CNRS in Frejus, and in 2012 and 2013 its employees taught classes during student workshops organised as a part of the POKL "Politechnika XXI wieku" programme.

Since 2007 I have been a reviewer of articles submitted for the Digital Landscape Architecture conference, organised yearly by Anhalt University (Germany). Up to 2015 they

19

were published in the form of monographs published by Wichmann Verlag. Since 2016 they have been published as the foDLA (Journal of Digital Landscape Architecture ) academic journal. The reviews are performed anonymously and have two stages. Submissions in the form of an extended abstract (a minimum of 1500 words) are evaluated by at least 5 reviewers and a ranking is held on this basis, which qualifies works for publication. Full texts are reviewed by three researchers.

In 2015 I was a member of the Academic Committee of the Digital Landscape Architecture conference in Istanbul.

I also prepared reviews of articles for the following journals: ITU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture (Turcja), Prace Komisji Krajobrazu Kulturowego PTG and Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports.

Thanks to numerous contacts formed with members of the community oflandscape architects who focus on digital technologies, I was invited to participate in the International Geodesign Collaboration international research project, which has been conducted since 2018 at almost 100 academic facilities. As a part of the project I fulfilled the role of the leader of the "Jnd ustry" team.

In 2018, by invitation of prof. dr hab. inż. Aleksandra Sas-Bojarska I participated in the academic debate entitled Ochrona krajobrazu w ocenach oddziaływania na środowisko w świetle współczesnych uwarunkowań prawno-metodologicznych organised as a part of a research project funded by grant no. RV-4/2018 financed by the WFOŚiGW in Gdańsk by the Chair of Urban Design and Regional Planning of the Gdańsk University of Technology FoA. I gave a presentation entitled Badanie chłonności widokowej k rajobrazu przy użyciu modeli cyfrowych w procesie lokalizacji nowych inwestycji.

I continued my cooperation with professor Ewa Grabska and her doctora! candidate, mgr Agnieszka Mars, whose research interests are associated with the use of measures in the assessment of architectural forms. Unfortunately, this work has thus far not resulted in any academic publication.

In the years 2008-2010 I look part in the e-M onument programme at the Siłesian University in Opava. Il included a 10-day-long workshop concerning the digital modelling of architectural monuments. As a part of this workshop I supervised a group of students from the Cracow University of Technology and gave the following lectures: 3D model creation basing on photographs (2008), Terrain modelling in AutoCAD environment (2009) and Realism in digital buildings models (2010).

Competitions

In 2017 I took part in two competitions:

Bandirma Park Competition. An international architectural and urban design competition for the design of a public park in Bandirma, Turkey (2017).

20

The design pertained to a public park located in Bandinrma, Turkey, along with public buildings, architectural structures, street furniture and areas of greenery on a sile placed on a hill with the historical remains of military structures. It covered a site development plan and conceptual designs of public and commercial buildings (an Institute of Design, 4 and 5-star hotels, a shopping gallery, restaurants).

Achievements in teaching

As an employee occupying the post of academic and teaching adjunct, I consider high-quality teaching to be a very important, yet highly underappreciated aspect of our work.

During my doctora! studies at the Faculty of Architecture of the Cracow University of Technology I taught classes as a part of the Architectural and urban design of service complexes module.

In 2000 I started to work at the Cracow University of Technology at the CAD Studio of the Institute of Computer Modelling of the Faculty of Technical Physics and Computer Modelling. As a result, my teaching activity was associated with computer-aided design. During my first year of work I taught computer classes as a part of the CAD - computer-aided design module at the architecture and urban design course and Digital technologies in chemistry at the chemical technology course.

21

22

The first of these is used during teaching the module block concerning computer-aided design at the landscape architecture course, while the second-during the LIM (Landscape Information M odel) elective module and during diploma project design.

During my employment with the Institute of Computer Science (2000-2015) I also taught modules associated with broadly understood computer graphics. At the technical physics course these were: Engineering graphics and M ultimedia technologies. The first module featured students preparing projects in accordance with the standards of technical machine drawings and gained knowledge concerning vector and raster graphics, including various forms of imaging and skills useful in adapting images for analysis. The scope of the second module covered three-dimensional modelling, as well as elements of animation and visualisation.

After the establishment of the computer science course (first-tier studies) I gave lectures and taught computer classes as a part of the module Graphics and man-machine communication (second year, fourth or third semester). Here it was necessary to acquaint students with the principles of work using various graphical environments (both raster and vector-based), the programming of graphics and the basics of software utility.

At the computer science course (single-tier Master's studies) I was responsible for the Image recognition and processing module (lectures and laboratories). Here it was necessary to acquaint students with programming algorithms of image processing and segmentation and supervised and non-supervised classification.

In 2007 the computer science course established second-tier studies in the Computer graphics and multimedia specialisation. Up to 2015 I taught classes at the course as a part of the modules: Computer imageprocessing (first year, first semester, lectures and laboratories), M an-machine communication (first year, second semester, lectures and design project), Team project (first year, second semester). As a part of the first of these modules, teaching included matters of raster image recording, processing and analysis, including the use of digital filters, morphological operations, skeletonization and frequency modulation. Man-machine communication was meant to sensitise students to problems associated with software utility. They prepared projects meant to address the actual needs of real users. The team project prepared during the pre-diploma semester had the practical task of making use of the knowledge and skills obtained during other modules and the creation of a multimedia work.

During the 2011/12 academic year I gave lectures on Digital visualisation and animation at the second semester of Master's studies.

I was also the sole instructor teaching the module Computer image processing for students of the Erasmus programme. lt included lectures, laboratories and projects in English.

I prepared module curricula for all of these modules, in addition to multimedia presentations for lectures and conspectuses for laboratory classes.

I have been the supervisor of 58 Master's and 14 Engineer's theses at the computer science course and 2 Engineer's diploma projects at the landscape architecture course, in addition

23

to being the co-supervisor of 4 Master's theses at the technical physics course. Of these 18 projects or theses have been defended with honours. I wrote numerous reviews of diploma projects and theses.

Since 2007 (with a two-year-long pause) I have been the supervisor of the "Visgaph" Computer graphics students' academic club. The club is very active and currently has over 20 members who participate in various projects. The most significant of these include participation in the University Academic Club Sessions. In this year, students of the SKN "Visgraph" Michał Dolina and Jakub Dec were awarded first place during the session conducted at the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science of the CUT.

The club's main field if interes! is 3D Mapping, which is based on creating multimedia spectacles utilising the architecture of the building and projected onto its facades. The task requires skills in terms of image recording, visualisation and animation development, as well as image and sound editing. The group is responsible for logistics, organisation and the promotion of the event, as well as cooperation with the company that rents professional equipment. It is the perfect opportunity to cooperate as a part of larger group while participating in an artistic event. We have prepared and presented 5 such projects, which were presented during events like Festiwal Nauki i Sztuki, Noc Naukowców and the Mapping Festival as a part of the Daisy Days in Pszczyna. In this competition, students of the SKN "Visgraph" carne second. This year we are preparing an event for Dni Europy, which will be presented at the Main Market Square in Krakow.

Members of the club also participate in other tasks, which include training courses and conferences. In 2018 they advanced into the second round of the POTENCJOmetr programme, whose goal was to activate people who are active in academic clubs and to improve their soft competencies.

During the 2015/16 academic year we initiated cooperation with the Library of the Cracow University of Technology, preparing a system of visual identification, some of the graphical elements of which have been put to use by the Library (flyers, posters).

In 2019 we organised a Pinhole camera photography workshop, which acquainted students with matters concerning image recording using traditional methods (without the use of a photographic camera) and creating negatives and prints. We plan to do another round of such a meeting during the spring season.

Other fiełds of activity

I took part in the programme „Akademia Inżyniera" organised by the MAEŚ, funded from the ECF Human Capital programme, as an instructor, as a part of which I conducted three editions of training courses: Computer science - AutoCAD basie course, Computer science - AutoCAD intermediate course, Computer science - AutoCAD advanced course, as well as in the project „ Wiedza Techniczna" conducted by the CUT Institute of Physics, financed by the ECF Human Capital programme.

Summary

To quantitatively summarise my academic activity, it should be stated that I am the author or co-author of 40 academic or popular-science publications (10 prior to obtaining the degree of doktor), incłuding 1 original academic monograph in Polish, 1 joint bi-lingual academic monograph (in Polish and in English), 20 academic articłes in English, and 26 peer-reviewed articłes. I gave 14 presentations at conferences, incłuding 6 in English. I have received the joint first-degree award of the Rector of the Cracow University of Technology for an academic monograph. I took part in 3 projects funded by grants received from the KBN and the NCN, in addition to preparing 13 expert documents commissioned by the Lesser Poland Conservator of Historical Monuments or other commercial entities. I have undergone a 4-month academic visitation abroad by invitation of the CNRS (France). Since 2017 I have reviewed academic articles in an international academic journal. I fulfilled the role of ancillary supervisor in a doctora!degree confernment procedure that culminated in the defence of a doctora! dissertation in January 2017. In September 2018 I was given the same duties concerning another dissertation.

My body of work concerning teaching covers co-authorship of 2 academic handbooks, the individual preparation of either the entirety or a part of a curriculum for 14 modules at the following courses: landscape architecture, computer science, technical physics, chemistry, architecture and urban planning. I have given lectures, taught laboratory and design dasses as a part of 16 modules.I have supervised 16 Engineer's projects or theses (computer science and landscape architecture), as well as 58 Master's theses (computer science). I was the co- supervisor of 4 theses on technical physics. Among these theses and projects, 18 received honours. Since 2007 (with a two-years-long pause) I have been the supervisor of the actively operating "Visgraph" Students' Academic Club.

I have participated in two programmes funded by the ECF and one by the POKL. I am a member of the SPAK, where I a member of the General Auditing Commission. I have taken part in numerous specialist training courses.
