Topic of the lecture: The concepts of Hild & K Architekten always emerge from dialogue. A dialogue engaging both contractor and employees alike wherein a question is unearthed and formulated, which will then serve as a leitmotiv for the design. The answer is always related to already existing forms. The styles, buildings or things selected, serve as references in finding the best possible answer to the question previously presented. Throughout this process, the architects aim at being as unconstrained as possible. Call them eclectic if you wish! In his speech, Andreas Hild will illustrate this design approach using select sample projects. About speaker: Hild und K architects are headquartered in Munich and the office was established in 1992. The initial studio called Hild und Kaltwasser was renamed Hild und K in 1999 and led in partnership by Andreas Hild and Dionys Ottl. In 2011, Matthias Haber joined the office as a third partner. Andreas Hild (*1961, Hamburg) studied architecture at the ETH in Zurich (1987) and at the Technische Universität in Munich, graduating from there in 1989. Since 2013 he is professor for Architectural Design, Rebuilding and Conservation at the Technische Universität in Munich.
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.
