Recorded 18.9.2018 at Tschechisches Zentrum Berlin

The early 20th century and in particular the interwar years saw
the rise of a range of new urbanist and architectural visions in
Czechoslovakia. After years of Viennese influence, suddenly the
opportunity was at hand to turn Prague into a modern big city and
fulfill the Czech nation’s aspirations for independence. Many
competitions were organised for designs of buildings or even
entire areas and these designs envisioned significant changes to
the look of the city. The great majority of projects proposed
were never ultimately brought to life. Klára Brůhová presented
her book, which focuses on these unrealised projects.

archint 1918_2018 is a series of events on the turn in
architecture after 1918, after the establishment of the First
Czechoslovak Republic. Young theoreticians of architecture will
present their new projects on heritage and the courageous modern
visions that have strongly shaped the Czech architectural
landscape. In cooperation with CzechTourism
