| David Kraus (*1970, Prague); Self-Portrait |
Architect David Kraus went through a successful practice in Ateliér 8000 after school in the mid-90s. He got to know the workings of an established design studio and recognized the specific handwriting of the authors Krupauer, Střítecký. He gained experience from working on the Prague Steam Navigation project by Jean Nouvel. While practicing at an established studio, he prepared a solo exhibition in the lower space of the Prague Gallery of Jaroslav Fragner.

David says about himself that he works like a lone wolf. He belongs to a generation of architects for whom there were hardly any other alternatives in the beginning. In the 90s, our architectural scene was just clarifying who the new master was. New structures of architects have been forming here in recent years ad hoc without a public naming of architecture and without public agreement on the meaning of architecture. Thus, for twenty years, new personalities of architects have been forming here often individually, as soloists - wandering boulders with their own working philosophy. For a successful path, they had to rely on a solid authorship foundation. Today, on our architectural scene, they represent a specific group, a kind, a subset, authors as lone wolves. A brief list of those I know personally: Jan Sedlák, Pavel Kolíbal, Václav Alda, Tomáš Novotný, Jan Stempel, Ivan Kroupa, Karel Kameník(†), David Kopecký(†), Jan Šépka, Michal Kuzemenský, Jan Studený, Svatopluk Sládeček, Kamil Mrva, Marek Štěpán.
