C + S architects is architectonic office based in Italy; the managing architects are Carlo Cappai and Maria Alessandra Segantini. The office works in various fields of architecture: from landscape architecture and urban planning, through design of buildings of various scales, to interior design both for private and for public sector. C+S architects have won several important international competitions, for example health center in Milan, Tenova headquarters in Verese, residential complex in Japan or college students’ housing in Venice. The architects have received many architectonic awards; among others they were nominated for Mies van der Rohe Award 2009. The participated in the 8th Venice Architecture Biennial. Cappai and Segantini believe that high quality in architecture can be achieved through constant dialogue, be it with clients, consultants, contractors, or end users. And all this comes hand in hand with high environmental requirements.
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.
