Detail knihy ~ Czech modern architecture, Vladimír Šlapeta
The book was created in cooperation with dozens of museums, galleries, regional institutions, archives, and professional research centres from across the Czech Republic and presents a representative selection of the finest achievements of Czech architecture over more than 125 years – from Cubism and interwar Functionalism, through post-war experiments, to contemporary architecture after 1989.With exceptional erudition, the author interconnects individual buildings, personalities, and periods into a coherent whole that presents Czech architecture as a distinctive and internationally respected phenomenon. The publication is not merely a catalogue of buildings, but a fundamental synthesis of architectural history, giving architecture context, continuity, and meaning.
The book was officially presented at the European Parliament in Brussels, accompanied by a major exhibition. It is an outstanding title intended for professionals, students, and all readers seeking to understand Czech architecture in its full breadth and depth.
