Dipl.Ing. Stefan Meier

Landscape architect

 

Marcin Gasiorowski has learned everything from scratch to work on natural and man-made waters as part of his in-depth university education. The chemical, physical and biological parameters in waters are very complex and interact with each other. To understand these ecosystem-related relationships and to steer them in the desired direction by means of planning or construction measures (clear water, less algae) absolutely requires such sound training.

For almost 20 years Marcin Gasiorowki has been working full-time with the planning of swimming ponds. His job is also his private passion. He has already realized hundreds of such systems of all sizes and construction totals.

Founder and President of the Polish Swimming Pond Association PNSWK
