Zdeněk Makovský: Le Corbusier - drawing, painting, architecture

On Wednesday, March 21, 2018, at 1:00 PM, a lecture by sculptor and architect Zdeněk Makovský will take place in room B510 at the Faculty of Architecture of the Brno University of Technology, Poříčí 5. He will analyze the drawing expression of Le Corbusier, particularly from the perspective of the interplay between artistic drawing and its integration into realized buildings. For Le Corbusier, the inseparable connection of his thinking with hand drawing is vital.

Doc. Ing. arch. Zdeněk Makovský (*1946 Brno) is a sculptor and architect from Brno, whose father was the academic sculptor Vincenc Makovský. After studying architecture and urbanism at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Brno University of Technology (1964-70), he worked as a designer at Investprojekt Brno in the studio of Ing. arch. František Kočí (1970-75) and subsequently practiced as a freelance artist in the field of fine arts (1975-90). Since 1990, he has been active at the Faculty of Architecture in Brno, where he was habilitated in architecture in 1997. Until last year, he led the Institute of Visualization. Currently, he runs his own architectural practice in Brno together with his son Daniel Makovský. The minimalist studio on Minská Street, where their office is located, materializes Zdeněk Makovský's lifelong passion for concrete mix.
