Krystyna Pietrzyk

Studierektor at Architecture and Civil Engineering

Design with uncertainties. Krystyna deals with modelling of building/urban performance under environmental load (caused by climate, users’ behavior etc.) to support building design and urban planning. She takes into account uncertainties coupled to performance of different design solutions by applying the methods of risk/reliability analysis. Krystyna is experienced in research activities, in leading projects, consulting Master students, PhD students and post-docs, and in organization of research. She has been active in the area of building physics in application in Architecture. She deals also with architectural and engineering research approaches to the problems where uncertainty, complexity, and wickedness are present. Krystyna is the Director of Studies for Graduate school of Architecture.
