In the course of 20 years of experience in practice, Buchner Bründler Architects have developed a number of built projects, which possess a strong physical presence, precise detailing and are executed with excellent craftsmanship. They mirror an attitude to society beyond conventions, seeking answers for the way we live together today and in the future. Many buildings are the result of extensive participation in competitions. We consider this as the actual research level within the office, where we experiment with new ways of using materials, explore the possibilities of contemporary constructions and develop our typological knowledge. A central theme of all this work is the consideration of the city as a built form and as a living organism. The work on urban space requires contextual consideration. Direct commissions for private houses have also formed an important part of our work. The smaller scope of such tasks permits a shifting of priorities, thereby offering new possibilities. Inner depth takes the place of outer complexity. The small houses are concentrated artefacts of our architectural thinking and action. A shift in the reference spaces is important. The lecture traces the influence and interaction between the two task fields of small projects and projects with an urban scale by using pairs of contrasts from Buchner Bründler's work: How are conceptual approaches found and tested, how do they mature in the course of further development and how do they establish new architectural topics.
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.
