For some, there are unsightly cube-shaped buildings and anonymous panel housing estates; for others, works like Ještěd, the Máj department store in Prague, or the Thermal hotel in Karlovy Vary designed by renowned architects. These can represent two different views on the architecture left by the era of communism. This Thursday, June 13, the theme of Czechoslovak socialist architecture will be addressed at the conference "Crossroads of Architecture." This year's edition bears the subtitle "Architecture with a Red Star - Without Stigmas and Prejudices" and aims to open a public discussion on the controversial impacts of construction between 1948 and 1989. At one event, conservationists, architects, and city representatives will come together to present all angles of perspective on the heritage from this period to the professional public. The panel discussion will also address issues of copyright protection in architecture. The conference will take place in the thematic spaces of the former Federal Assembly in Prague, now the New Building of the National Museum. The event is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
