All the activities carried out are fullfiling the idea out of the box, approach that i learned during the JA program. The projects are ecological, economical, effective and glamorous, everything to create a unique object. One of them is the Water Park of Tychy – an element of the city of the future, which instead of absorbing energy generates it as part of the energy cycle coupled with the city. The waste generated by the inhabitants is processed in the wastewater treatment plant. With the help of algae, all CO2 is absorbed and the enriched bio-gas is produced. From this renewable source of energy, electricity, heat and cold necessary for the Aquapark are produced in the building. The excess energy is transferred to the city. At some moments, almost 25% of the city is heated thanks to the Water Park in Tychy, from waste generated by the city. Andrzej holds an MSc degree in Architecture at the Silesian University of Technology, and is currently completing PhD degree in the field of architectural gamification at the Technical University in Krakow. He is the author of several scientific publications in the field of aquaparks, gamification of architecture and conservation of monuments. He also received numerous architectural and construction awards for his work. Privately, he has PPL (A) pilot licenses to freely move in real 3D.
