Biography

His parents were involved in medicine; his father, Jakub Puterman, was a doctor, and his mother, Anna Margulies, worked as a bacteriologist and was the heiress of a family that owned the Meyerhold Steel Industry in Sosnowiec.[3]

After graduating from the Commercial School in Będzin, he moved to Kraków, where he completed his secondary education in 1911 at the Higher Real School. He then moved to Munich, where he began engineering studies at the Technical University of Munich. The outbreak of World War I forced him to interrupt his studies, but he resumed them in 1916 and graduated as an architect-engineer a year later. Until February 1918, he held the position of assistant at his alma mater, then returned home to become a plant architect at the Azoty Plant in Chorzów, while also apprenticing under architect Jan Rakowicz.[3]

In 1919, he became a professor at the Higher School of Construction in Poznań. He held this position until the end of the 1925/1926 academic year, with a one-year break for military service during the Polish-Soviet War, in which he fought as a private. In 1926, he moved to Warsaw, where he opened a private architectural office.[3]

He was a professor at the Warsaw University of Technology in the Department of Sanitary Construction. From 1928, he served as the head of the design office of the Ministry of Post and Telegraph. From 1929, he co-ran an architectural firm with sculptor Antoni Miszewski. During 1939–1940, he lived in Kaunas. From 1940–1941, he worked in Vilnius as the head of the Industrial Design Office.[3]

In 1944, in Lublin, he participated in organizing the Ministry of Reconstruction. From 1945, he lived in Warsaw, where he worked in the Bureau of Reconstruction of the Capital (BOS) until 1947.[3]
