The Academic Radio Luz has announced the winners of the next edition of the Mug for a Lecturer poll. Kajetan Sadowski, PhD from the Faculty of Architecture was one of the five winners.

This year, the poll had a slightly different character. The organisers wanted to honour the lecturers who during the COVID-19 pandemic stood up to the challenge and treated the possibility of remote work as an opportunity to do something even better than before.

– Woken up in a new reality, we had to adapt to a different world. Also, a different world in terms of teaching. Some of us did it more efficiently than others - explains Anna Geryn, editor-in-chief at the radio station.

Eventually, for the first time in history, the organisers decided to award as many as five people with a radio mug, including Kajetan Sadowski, PhD, Eng, Arch from the Department of Architectural and Construction Design at WUST’s Faculty of Architecture.

– I consider these awards to be a token of recognition and a thank you for the work and commitment I put into delivering my classes - says doctor Kajetan Sadowski. – Conducting classes online, a new situation in which we all found ourselves, was stressful but also very motivating for me. I wanted to use all the potential of remote teaching tools. I think that we took a big step forward, us and the students.

Doctor Kajetan Sadowski teaches Structural Mechanics and Energy Characteristics of Buildings. His scientific interests revolve around the issues of buildings’ structural shaping as well as possibilities of applying the principles of sustainable development and renewable energy sources in architectural design.

– Apart from theory, I also try to pass on to everybody interested the practical knowledge I gain in my daily work at my design studio – says the winner.

In his private life, doctor Sadowski is a fan of good science books, sci-fi films, and space architecture. – I also play some music and of course draw, as befits an architect – says doctor Kajetan Sadowski. And adds that he devotes far too much time to endurance sports.
