About Dr Piotr

Struggling to develop your studio project, clarify your concept or build a strong portfolio?

I’m Dr Piotr Lesniak, Architecture Tutor, Researcher and design practice Director based in Glasgow, UK. I help BArch/MArch students and applicants transform ideas into clear concepts, strong drawings and confident project narratives.

I teach architectural design at university level. Over the past 12 years I have guided award-winning student projects at undergraduate and postgraduate stages at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Strathclyde. My approach combines rigorous critique, visual clarity and research-by-design methods — all tailored to your own voice and ambitions.

Whether you want a focused crit session, a full portfolio review or long-term studio support, every lesson is structured to move your work forward immediately.

>> Who I work with:
- BArch / MArch / Part 2 students,
- Architecture school applicants (foundation, undergraduate, postgraduate),
- Students preparing portfolios, thesis projects, or design-led dissertations,
- Professionals seeking design or representation support,

>> What I can help you with:
- Studio projects (concept → development → presentation),
- Portfolio creation & improvement (selection, layout, sequencing),
-Design-led research & thesis writing,
- Representation (plans, sections, diagrams, collages, narratives),
- Crit practice, review preparation, and understanding feedback
- Academic writing in architecture (essays, dissertations, methodology)

>> How a typical session works:

Before the lesson:
- you send your work (PDFs, images, text, models),
- I complete a preliminary review and identify key issues & potentials.

During the session we:
- discuss your intentions and project challenges,
- go through drawings/boards together via screen-share, sketch ideas, test alternatives, annotate your work,
- clarify concept, programme, narrative, and representation

You leave with 2–3 concrete tasks for measurable progress.

Follow-up support available via shared folders or message.

>> Teaching Style:

My approach is:
- Supportive, honest & actionable,
- Research-driven but grounded in practice,
- Focused on developing your voice, not imposing mine,
- Structured to produce visible improvement each session.

Students are invited to submit a short statement outlining: their academic/professional goals; current financial constraints; why mentorship would make a difference to their journey. Applications are reviewed confidentially. Priority is given to motivated candidates with limited access to structured design support.
