O prezentaci

Kristine Jensen: On site and off site Heritage site, a cemetery and a project for a new urban city space. All show different ways of rethinking access to nature and landscape within social structures in the modern city perimeter. What do these sites tell as found, what do they have in common and what do they offer as platforms in the search for landscape architecture to come? Urban spaces are places where we meet in the city, the 4 works in urban spaces shows both new settlements and transformation of existing environments. But the aim is to transform the spaces of the city into sensuous reflected attractions that relate to both people and places as cultural sites. As the city is subject to constant change, the program for the use of an urban space needs to be open minded to an extend that allows and reflects time and change again and again. We are always aware of involving history in our projects, and we see conservation as a source of inspiration for the development of the forth coming identities. Urban spaces are not mere voids between buildings but places where we meet ourselves both past and present. These works with urban spaces of transformation includes an ongoing investigation of how we perceive our surroundings. The mere creativity is born out of these reflections and therefore nature, weather, the change of seasons as well materials and social programs are always used with creating sensuous experiences in mind. Iwona Wilczek: Dreams and reality The architectural profession gives me the ability to turn ideas into real and tangible objects. Every visit on one of our building sites comes with this feeling of good decisions taken during the design process. I will tell about the work of a small, non-commercial studio in a town in south Poland. I will talk about teamwork, endless discussions, about what we did and what plans we have. I will speak about the reality of this work for me as a woman, about people we work with and most important things in this profession.

O organizátorovi (KRUH)

A civic association KRUH (Circle) was founded in 2001 by a group of architecture students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Focus of our activities lies in an ongoing cycle of lectures on architecture held by leading Czech and foreign architects and architecture critics. In addition to that, we have organized excursions to contemporary architectural realisations and film festivals. During ten years of our activity, we have provided almost 200 lectures (e.g. series of lectures 'Across Swiss Architecture' – in cooperation with a Swiss foundation Pro Helvetia and Swiss Embassy in Prague), three excursions abroad, two film festivals on architecture, an exhibition, and published four collective anthologies with texts on architecture. All our activities gained both a favourable public response (200 – 500 visitors per lecture, 2000 visitors at film festival) and a response of professional press (awarded Architekt magazine prize in 2003). So far we have lined up lectures by significant figures of contemporary architecture eg. Aaron Betsky, Eva Jiřičná, Jan Kaplický, Luigi Snozzi, Mario Botta, Dietmar Eberle, Francisco Mangado and as well many starting Czech architects. In all we do our goal is to create a continuous dialogue about contemporary issues among architects, architecture theorists and public. Our target group consists of architecture students, architects, construction engineers, humanities students and last but not least the general public. This year our programme is focused on lectures and presentation of recent projects, which came out from important architecture competitions in Czech Republic. The aim of the project is to show what is happening right now in architecture, what is new and progressive for architects, and how they deal with the idea of competition.
