Dr Olgierd Nitka is a Polish architect, interior designer, and visual artist whose practice spans over two decades across Europe and Asia. He worked for international companies including KFE (Berlin), RAD (Hong Kong), and Malherbe (Hong Kong/Paris). His professional expertise is grounded in building materiality, construction detailing, and the passage from concept to construction.

Dr Nitka holds a PhD in Architectural Theory from the University of Hong Kong, an MSc in Architecture and Urban Planning from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, and an art diploma from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław.

His research examines creative industries and cultural programming at architectural and urban scales, exploring how a distributed network of small spaces emerges as an urban phenomenon. Dr Nitka integrates his research with hands-on practice by curating cultural events and maintaining an artist practice.

Prior to joining PolyU, Dr. Nitka taught design studios and visual communication at the Insight School of Interior Design in Hong Kong.
