The work of Kamila Mrva at the exhibition in Valašské Meziříčí
Buildings and projects from the period 1999 - 2015
You will see the buildings and projects of architect Kamil Mrva from the years 1999 – 2015 at the exhibition titled KAMIL MRVA ARCHITECTS, which was opened on December 10, 2015. The exhibition in the 2nd floor of the Museum and Gallery Center in the Žerotín Castle will last until February 7, 2016.
Architect Kamil Mrva, a graduate of the Secondary Technical School of Construction in Valašské Meziříčí, is one of the most prominent representatives of the younger generation of Czech architects. After completing his studies at the Faculty of Architecture in Brno under Professor Masák and a brief internship at the Prague studio Gama led by Karel Prager, he embarked on a study trip to North America, where he studied primarily the works of F. L. Wright. Full of energy from this trip, he returned to his hometown of Kopřivnice and began working on one of his first buildings, his own family house with a studio. Here he realized his manifesto and experienced the construction of a house from the perspective of an architect, investor, and construction supervision. The house, bearing his characteristic style, attracted great attention and brought the young architect his first commissions. This was followed by several family houses that are distinguished by the combination of contemporary architectural forms with traditional materials and the landscape character of the Beskydy region.
The exhibition in the Museum and Gallery Center, whose foundation was presented at the architectural Gallery Jaroslava Fragnera in Prague in 2010, will showcase a cross-section of his studio's work. Although Kamil Mrva initially gained remarkable renown especially for his wooden constructions, he did not remain solely with this technology and in the subsequent stage of his work expanded his architectural repertoire with other materials and architectural tasks. His portfolio includes larger buildings and ensembles as well. The dominant structural material of the houses currently under construction is no longer just wood. With other materials, such as stone, concrete, metal, and glass, Kamil Mrva approaches them in a way that utilizes their characteristic properties and realizes buildings that are simple, clean, and purposeful. Several of his latest projects also concern public spaces in municipalities with which his studio collaborates in the long term.
