Life and work
[edit]In 1900, he graduated from secondary school and began to study at the Lviv Polytechnic at the Faculty of Engineering. After one year, he changed the subject and pursued studies at the Faculty of Architecture, which he graduated from with honours in 1907. Since 1907, he worked at the architectural company of Jan Levinsky where, together with Witold Minkiewicz, they created a number of projects. In 1911, Derdacki and Minkiewicz established their own architectural company. He was a member of the "Zespół" Architecture Association as well as the Polish Polytechnic Society in Lviv (Polskie Towarzystwo Politechniczne we Lwowie). In 1914, he was appointed a member of the examination board of the Faculty of Architecture of the Lviv Polytechnic. In 1924, he was awarded the title of a professor. In 1922-1923 and 1927-1930 he served as dean of the Faculty of Architecture.[1][2]
In 1946, after the postwar population transfers, he settled in Gliwice where he worked as Head of the Department of Civil Engineering at the Silesian University.[3] He engaged in an active academic work, researching efficient dwelling houses planning and published numerous architecture-related articles in professional journals.[4]
