Petr Klíma: Anchors of May - Czech Department Stores 1965-1975

Unwanted Monuments / A lecture series on not-so-recent architecture and artistic values that we have so far overlooked. Buildings from the time before 1989 are often the subject of open hatred: we associate them with the malaise and arrogance of normalization. However, not all architecture from that time deserves such harsh judgment. In this series, we want to draw attention to the buildings and authors whose work unjustly bears the stains of the era.
