== Career == Mączyński was born in Wadowice in southern Poland. He trained with the architect Slawomir Odrzywolski, and in 1900 won an international architectural competition organized by the Paris-based magazine Moniteur des Architectes with a design of a villa in the ethnic Zakopane style. Already accomplished as an architect, he continued his studies at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts under Konstanty Laszczka from 1902 to 1904, and finished his education in Vienna and Paris. Mączyński's work is concentrated in Kraków.
