Memorial celebration for the 120th anniversary of the birth of Bohuslav Fuchs
One hundred and twenty years ago, on March 24, 1895, one of the most significant architects and urban planners of interwar Czechoslovakia, Bohuslav Fuchs, was born in the picturesque Záhoří at the foot of the Hostýn Mountains in the village of Všechovice. To commemorate the anniversary of his birth, a small memorial celebration took place in Všechovice in the Přerov district. The organizers were the village of Všechovice, Foibos books publishing house, the Kotěra Center for Architecture, and the Záhoran Microregion in cooperation and with the support of the Olomouc Region and the Faculty of Architecture at VUT Brno.
The celebration was opened in the Bohuslav Fuchs Exhibition Hall by the mayor of Všechovice, Radovan Mikuš. The life and work of Bohuslav Fuchs and the exhibition in the hall were subsequently presented by doc. ing. arch. Jiří Palacký, PhD., the vice-dean of the Faculty of Architecture at VUT Brno, who contributed the most to the creation of the exhibition. The attendees were also welcomed by the deputy governor of the Olomouc Region, Mgr. Radovan Rašťák. This introductory celebration also marked the beginning of the project "Journey through the Buildings of Bohuslav Fuchs" not only in the Olomouc Region. The project was presented by Dr. Oldřich Janota, the director of the Kotěra Center for Architecture. In his speech, he also praised the establishment of the Exhibition Hall in Všechovice and gifted the village a woodcut with a self-portrait of Fuchs's teacher Jan Kotěra, the founder and leading figure of Czech modern architecture.
After touring the exhibition, the meeting participants laid a bouquet at the architect's birthplace and stopped by the memorial to the victims of World War I, authored by Bohuslav Fuchs. Accompanied by the owner of the castle, Jaroslav Mikl, the attendees had the opportunity to see the progress of the extensive reconstruction of the Všechovice castle and its park. The meeting concluded with a visit to another of Fuchs's works, the intimate Všechovice cemetery and the family tomb of the Fuchs, which are listed as cultural monuments.
