Architecture as Strong Coffee - How Building Regulations are Made

The Zapálení 02 group cordially invites supporters of quality architecture to another debate evening from the series Architecture as Strong Coffee; this time our guest will be architect and urban planner Pavel Hnilička. The meeting will take place on Thursday, December 6th at 7 PM in the café of the Pilsen House of Music.

Topic: How Building Regulations are Made...
Public (common) interest and ways to defend it...?
Regulations and authorities - good will or also arbitrariness...?
Norm and normality, exception and exceptionalism...?
The favorite mantra - regulation versus creative freedom...?
Public (common) space and values in our individualistic time...?
Freedom in itself...?

The Pilsen group ZAPÁLENÍ 02 brings together architects and passionate supporters of 20th-century architecture. To promote itself, it organizes public lectures, engages in publishing activities, and seeks out and visits valuable yet forgotten places and buildings in the region. It identifies with the legacy of the significant local architect Hanuš Zápal. The group recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of its founding and, in collaboration with Pilsen 2015, o.p.s. and the House of Music in Pilsen, has been organizing a debate series entitled Architecture as Strong Coffee for the second year.
