O architektuře osmdesátých let
Institute of Theory and History of Architecture, FA CTU under the leadership of prof. Petr Vorlík is organizing a conference concluding the NAKI project Architecture of the 1980s in the Czech Republic – Distinctiveness, Identity, and Parallel Reflections Against the Background of Normalization. The aim of the conference is to meet and debate among personalities from various professions related to architecture and building culture of the 1980s in Czechoslovakia.
THE 1980S opened a number of themes in architecture and construction that still retain significant relevance today. More than the preceding periods, they co-form the present reality, and despite all the so-called technological "progress," they are mentally closer to the current era than previous decades. In our environment, it was precisely in the 1980s that society began to become more aware of many things we now consider commonly shared and accepted attitudes…
We have contacted direct participants, architects, artists, designers, conservationists, theorists, and we want to confront the perspective of the "witness" with the view of today's researcher. We have selected four key thematic areas that attempt to capture the developmental tendencies and intellectual currents in the field of architecture of that time, not only in the sphere of official architectural congresses but
also in informal discussions.
The areas are set to highlight the diversity and multi-layered nature of 1980s architecture, allowing space for critical evaluation, and at the same time, trying to define and map important moments and themes characterizing the events of that time:
Materiality – construction, materials, construction processes
Historic environment – heritage conservation, new entries into historical architecture
Design – interior, urban interior, ground floor, fine arts
Ecology – buildings – settlements – landscape
