/ met Mietek at the close of the 1950s. He was an engineer photogrammetrist, assistant in the Geodesy
and Cartography Faculty of the Warsaw University of Technology, in charge of the geodesist team
involved in the inventorying of the castle in Kostrzyn on the Oder, the historic buildings of the town
of Glogow and many other monuments in the so-called Recovered Lands of Poland (the western
provinces). I was in charge of the architects on this project and it is in this capacity that we first coop-
erated. PIans were measured in the traditional way, elevations by the photogrammetric method and
sections made with a combination of the two.
Ί he photogrammetric method for architectural surveying was first applied by Meidenbauer at the
turn of the 19th century and in Poland Prof. Piasecki had taken advantage of it already before
World War II. But it was first used on such a broad scale in 1957 by a young, 25-year-old accdemic
assistant, Mieczyslaw Niepokolczycki, who did it without publicity or any extra payment. The
work involved hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of historic architecture.
