The best of the year: Discussion on the purpose of compiling architectural yearbooks
Thursday, September 15, 2016, at 7:00 PM
Gallery VI PER, Vítkova 2, Prague 8
Yearbooks of Czech and Slovak Architecture. One yearbook has a 16-year tradition this year, while the other is being established this year. The Czech one is published by a small architecture-focused publisher Prostor, while the Slovak one is published by a large publisher Slovart. One is an annual project by the publisher and guest authors, while the other is this year the work of editors and co-authors from the academic environment. One accumulates a series of annual curatorial challenges for selected architects from practice, while the other is a challenge to monitor and explore architecture production in the long term with a team of critics and theorists of architecture.
Guests:
Vendula Hnídková (historian and architecture critic, Institute of Art History of the Czech Academy of Sciences)
Henrieta Moravčíková (architecture historian, research fellow at the Department of Architecture at the Institute of Construction and Architecture of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, co-author of the Slovak yearbook)
Jitka Ressová (architect, Ellement studio, editor of the yearbook Czech Architecture 2014–2015)
Dagmar Vernerová (publisher, director of Prostor - architecture, interior, design, founder of the Czech architecture yearbook)
During the evening, the first Yearbook of Slovak Architecture will be presented, which maps the current Slovak architectural scene for the period 2014/2015. The publication, along with selected Czech yearbooks, will be available for purchase at a discounted price.
The discussion is organized by VI PER in cooperation with the Slovak Institute Prague / Slovenský inštitút v Prahe
