Agnieszka Kępkowicz, PhD. I’m landscape architect. I defended my PhD degree in 2007 at the Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW). At the same University and at the same Faculty, I received my Master's degree in 1989. From 2027 to the present, I work as an assistant professor in the Unit of Landscape Studies and Land Management (Faculty of Agrobioengeneering) at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. Previously, from 1998 to 2008, I worked as an assistant with the Unit of the Landscape Art, at the Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW). In the meantime, I was engaged in designing and arranging green spaces, first in the company EKO-VISION as a co-owner (1994-2004), then in the years 2004-2012, as the owner of the company: LANDSCAPES. My research interests focus on urban sprawl as well as public open space development, and their implications for the environment, well-being and social relations. In designing and academic teaching, I value an openness, creativity, and an interdisciplinary and multi-sensory approach to the study of landscape, human nature and urban/rural/natural environment.
