Wojciech Zabłocki made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Wojciech Zabłocki as Polish architect and fencer (1930-2020).
Wojciech Zabłocki was born at Warsaw in 1930. His recorded nationality is Poland. He was educated at AGH University of Science and Technology.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as fencer, architect and olympic competitor.
His affiliations include University of Ecology and Management in Warsaw and Łódź University of Technology.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
His recorded fields of work are architecture, fencing and olympic games.
His work was formally recognised with the Commander of the Order of Polonia Restituta, Officer of the Order of Polonia Restituta and Pierre de Coubertin Medal.
Working from Poland shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Wojciech Zabłocki died in 2020, aged 90. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
