"The well-being of the sick be the highest command to everyone."
The history of the Olomouc, today's university hospital began to unfold as early as 1896. However, by the end of the 1930s, the hospital, where the very first corneal transplant was performed in the early 20th century, belonged to outdated and unsuitable health institutions. At the behest of the regional administration between 1940-1941, the Brno architect Bedřich Rozehnal prepared a study for a new Regional Hospital.

What does Plzeň mean to us? A city at the confluence, districts between rivers, bridge promenades, or thoroughfares? Vast and unique, yet neglected lowlands in the city center?
