September

ARCHITECTS DAM 1989–2009

The exhibition has been extended until 20. 9. 2009

The exhibition documents the buildings as well as unrealized projects of a leading Czech architectural firm on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary. The leading figures of the studio R. Doležal and P. Malinský present, along with their associates and team, selected buildings and unrealized projects that map the entire period of DaM's existence. The first part consists of an image presentation of their work, while the second features lesser-known unrealized works in the form of abstract conceptual models. The exhibition and the summary of the results of 20 years of the firm’s activities are captured in a carefully prepared monograph.

20 AFTER 20 CZ-SK/

TWENTY AFTER TWENTY CZ-SK

On November 16, a Czechoslovak exhibition will be opened, primarily presenting the creative approach and thinking of young architects. Instead of classic models, actual implementations will be exhibited, albeit somewhat unconventional: CZ - doghouse, SK – birdhouse. The project "20 after 20" will present twenty Czech and twenty Slovak architects who began their university studies after the Velvet Revolution. A catalog will be published for the exhibition.
