Prague – At the German Museum of Architecture in Frankfurt am Main, an exhibition titled More is Now! New Czech Architecture will take place. It focuses on the works of a younger architectural generation, particularly the so-called millennials. It involves multiple partners, and the curator is Helena Huber-Doudová from the Collection of Art after 1945 of the National Gallery Prague (NGP). The gallery informed CTK about this today through spokesperson Jana Holcová.


The exhibition, which will run from September 19 to January 17, 2027, will present 28 architectural realizations as part of the Year of Czech Culture in German-speaking countries. These will be projects that have generally received awards. Among them are the headquarters of the Lahofer winery in Dobšice near Znojmo, the conversion of Gočár's Automatic Mills in Pardubice, the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows in Nesvačilka near Brno, and the footbridge to Štvanice Island in Prague.

According to NGP, the projects illustrate the diverse approaches of contemporary Czech architecture to working with the landscape, historical heritage, and new technologies. "Collaboration with the Deutsches Architekturmuseum and the fact that the exhibition is one of the events of the Frankfurt Book Fair, where the Czech Republic is the guest of honor, adds an extraordinary international dimension to it," said NGP director Olga Kotková.

The Frankfurt Book Fair will take place from October 7 to 11, with the Czech Republic as its honorary guest. Selected 75 Czech authors are to present their books there.

The German audience is not very familiar with contemporary Czech architecture, admitted DAM director Peter Cachola Schmal. "The exhibition More is Now! New Czech Architecture presents a unique opportunity for Deutsches Architekturmuseum to showcase contemporary Czech creation to the German audience," he stated.

The title More is Now! refers, according to curator Huber-Doudová, to the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, who, among other things, co-designed the Tugendhat Villa in Brno with Lilly Reich. The exhibition questions how contemporary architects interpret the modernist notion that less is more.

In addition to NGP and DAM, the exhibition is also supported by the Czech Center in Berlin, the Museum of the City of Brno, CzechTourism, and the Czech Chamber of Architects. It has been supported by the Czech-German Future Fund.
