VŠUP - Theses 2010

In the second half of June, about fifty students completed their studies at the Prague Academy of Art, Architecture and Design. They dedicated six years to their future specialization in one of the twenty-three studios. Four of them focus on architecture. From each, we select one final project based on the recommendation of the studio leader.
(In the case of the studio Architecture IV – Architecture and Design, the editorial team was unable to obtain a direct recommendation; however, the chosen project, in our opinion, will most significantly spark a debate about public space and architecture.)
