By their very nature, it is clear that after a rich domestic and foreign architectural practice – among the realizations, let us mention, for example, the school in the city block (Amsterdam, 1992), the Czech Center in Paris (1997), the object of the Northern Canal Administration (Ijmuiden, 1999) or the Administration of the Amsterdam Ring Road (2001) – today his attention is primarily focused on teaching activities.
The interview conducted in the dean's office, visually literally against the backdrop of the growing new faculty building, thus logically uncovered not only experiences from the Dutch architectural and university environment but also the further direction of the Prague school.
