Zdeněk Fránek: Figures

At the Gallery of Ladislav Sutnar, it was possible to visit a unique exhibition "Zdeněk Fránek: Figures" until April 11.

You can virtually walk through it in the video here.

Zdeněk Fránek has an impressive portfolio of international projects that are both innovative, intelligent, and entertaining. Since 2019, he has been teaching architecture at Sutnarka. The interview with curator Jan Van Woensel offers insight into his relationship with nature, into architecture as a form of co-creation, and into the future

After all, he is creating a habitat for the dominant creature on our planet..."
