At the international exhibition Atlas of the Unbuilt World, which is part of this year's London Festival of Architecture (June 7 – June 27, 2013), three designs from Czech studios Hájek Architects, Šépka Architects, and Opočenský Valouch Architects will be showcased alongside 60 models from 40 countries. The participation of these projects, nominated for the prestigious exhibition by the Czech Centre London, is a great success for Czech architecture.
On Tuesday, June 11, 2013, there will be a meeting with Jiří Opočenský. The Czech architect has a unique opportunity to introduce his project The Community House in Slavonice to an international professional audience.
Atlas of the Unbuilt World is an international exhibition organized by the British Council in collaboration with the Czech Centre and other cultural institutes. The exhibition is part of the regular International Architecture Showcase held within the London Festival of Architecture. The curator of this representative exhibition, designed by the London studio Pernilla Ohrsted, is Rob Gregory from the Architecture Centre in Bristol. Its aim is to present exceptional, yet unrealized architectural projects and visions for the direction of global architecture through 3D models.
Petr Hájek Architects present the project The Krkonošsko Environmental Education Centre in Vrchlabí, a striking example of conceptual and contextual architecture where the resulting building serves as a hybrid between landscape and home, mirroring the surrounding mountains. On the other hand, the studio Šépka Architects represents residential architecture with its visionary project
House-Garden, which combines living space with a garden into one whole. An example of sensitive restoration in the historical center is the Community House Slavonice, which has already won an award for young architects in 2009, from the studio Opočenský-Valouch Architects. Thus, Czech architecture stands alongside ambitious projects such as the new museum in UNESCO-protected Troja by the Turkish studio Yalin Mimarlik Architects or the prototype floating school for Lagos by NLE from Nigeria.
Also part of the exhibition is a 3D printer from the agency 3Dpeasy, which will provide architects, students, and designers from around the world with a unique opportunity to produce 3D models of their designs. The challenge and more information on project submissions - here.
