The company Hager is a partner of the Czech Architecture Award 2022

The Czech Award for Architecture is a competitive exhibition organized by the Czech Chamber of Architects. The intention of the CKA in holding this prestigious exhibition is to promote the quality results of work by both established and emerging architects to the public. The jury evaluates the submitted projects annually not only from the perspective of their aesthetic and technical quality but primarily in the context of their creation, relationship to the environment, and social contribution. The partner of the Czech Award for Architecture for the year 2022 was Hager.

On June 23, 2022, a magnificent Nomination Evening of the 7th year of the Czech Award for Architecture took place in the Valdštejn Garden, where the chamber announced 29 works that were nominated by the international jury for the prestigious selection from 201 submitted buildings. The name of the main award winner and other finalists will be revealed to the public in November 2022 at a gala evening at Forum Karlín. The Nomination Evening was held under the patronage of the Chairman of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, Mr. Miloš Vystrčil, who also presented his Award of the Chairman of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic to authors Janica Šipulová and Martin Sládek from the studio CONSEQUENCE FORMA architects for the project sports hall / gymnasium of ZŠ Nový Hrozenkov.

A special award - the Tribute from the CKA for 2021 to the eighty-three-year-old first lady of Czech architecture, Ms. Eva Jiřičná, was an unforgettable experience for all present. This lifetime achievement award honors significant personalities in the field of architecture. According to the jury, the architect has indelibly etched her name in the history of Czech architecture and has also left her visible mark on world architecture.
