Lead Dushan 2020 - celebratory gala evening

The Association of Architecture Students has organized the Olověný Dušan competition for the twenty-seventh time, during which an independent expert jury seeks the best projects and studios in the fields of design and architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of ČVUT for the winter semester. After the jubilee 25th edition in the Federal Assembly building and the 26th edition in CAMP, where Dušan became acquainted with other student associations and competitions, we as organizers wanted to continue and surpass previous years.

However, perhaps this year the largest feedback was received by the Association and the Olověný Dušan itself, and perhaps it deserves intense discussions about its form and content. Already during the organization, we as organizers were disappointed that despite the large amount of work, we had no time to consider how to provide feedback to the school and its students. Some suggestions from the jury confirmed our thoughts. Three days before the gala evening, we found that the audience and most of the jury would not attend. At one point, we were tempted to cancel the whole event.
The entire gala evening began with the entrance of the members of the Association of Architecture Students, who presented the audience with perhaps surprising facts about the Faculty of Architecture and the Olověný Dušan competition itself. The hosting duo Anna Blažková and Kuba Klouzek gradually introduced each member. All participants were then directed to the website olovenydusan.cz, where a survey was prepared with a simple question: How can Olověný Dušan be better? The questionnaire is still active, and you can participate in it as well.
However, we did not want the feedback from everyone to Dušan and to us to overshadow the recognition of the nominated and winning
