Two new publications on brutalist architecture in Prague will be presented. First, a richly visual piece with many photographs titled "Prague Brutally Beautiful: Exceptional Buildings Constructed in Prague Between 1969 and 1989”. The second piece takes a more academic approach "Beton, Břasy, Boletice. Brutalist Prague”. The impulse for both projects came from the recent demolition of buildings that were only appreciated by a minority, and were yet to be taken seriously by experts. Now is this the last cry of desperation, or the beginning of a wider public and official appreciation? How will brutalist buildings be dealt with in Berlin?
Featuring: Evžen Šimera (Prague Brutally Beautiful, Scholastica, Prague), Klára Brůhová (Beton, Břasy, Boletice, Czech Technical University in Prague) and Gunnar Klack (Citizens' Initiative Mäusebunker, Berlin)
archint_1989_cz:de is an event series focusing on the architecture and monuments from the post-war period and how they have been dealt with since the Velvet Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Why does our freedom often manifest as the freedom to destroy or simply just to forget? Can these actions be seen themselves as not only interventions but as actual monuments to the regained freedom, reunification and post-1989 transformation? Should these works of art and architecture be disconnected from their political connotations and instead be respected for their artistic value? Is it a question of East – West division? Here, Czech and German architectural theoreticians will present their new projects and discuss them.
Partners of the event series: Embassy of the Czech Republic in Berlin, Collegium Hungaricum Berlin, Polish Institute Berlin, Slovak Institute in Berlin, EUNIC Berlin.

The lecture by PhDr. Ladislav Zikmund-Lender showed that the unique modern urbanism and architecture in Hradec Králové laid references to historic periods, systematically incorporated public green zones in the concept of the metropolis as well as organically interconnected progressive and traditional architectural forms. Additionally, because of a liberal environment in the city, there was a unique permeation of national identities in shaping the modern architecture – Czech and German – and various religious backgrounds – Catholic, Jewish, Protestant and after 1918 a new Czechoslovak church which became very popular.
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.

Die Fotografin der Ausstellung “Schwarze Jahre” erzählt von ihrem Leben in West-Berlin nach 1985 und den 1970er und 1980er Jahren in Prag, wo das Leben auf den ersten Blick grau war, auf den zweiten aber auch aufregend sein konnte, wenn man wie die Fotografin die Gesellschaft der Unangepassten suchte.

At the beginning of the 20th century Zlín was a small town with no more but regional importance. But then the Baťa family began to develop the shoe factory and build the company town nearby. Thus emerged an extraordinary example of a modernist city complex, but the architectural heritage is quickly vanishing under sediments of recent conversions. The presentation by Klára Eliášová and Barbora Vacková introduced the book “The Baťa Home: Zlín’s Vanishing Architectural Elements” focusing on the residential architecture in Zlín, specifically on the family houses intended for the company employees.

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.
