DRN is a new mixed-use building erected on the prominent corner of Národní and Mikulandská streets in the centre of Prague. There'd previously been a parking lot on the site, since 1966. It is adjoined by the baroque Schönkirch Palace. By combining the Palace with a new contemporary building, a mixed-use “palace” with a courtyard, shops, restaurants and offices was created. The intermingling of the baroque world with the modern, the old with the new; those are the main motifs that permeate the project and can be found in the main structural elements as well as small parts of the interior.

Surely there are nations in the World that would like Czechoslovakia to continue to lead such a passive life in terms of economy. Surely many people would still like us to use the same methods, to take care of small things and postpone big ones. Surely someone would benefit from it if we were scared to take responsibility, if we’d rather mend unemployment with pittance, if we’d patch leaky laws with laws equally leaky...

Na jaře loňského roku proběhla v Brně vyzvaná architektonická soutěž na řešení víceúčelového centra pro děti a mládež s názvem „Dětské sportovně-kulturní centrum Staré Brno“ a parkových úprav přilehlého okolí. Jako vítězný byl vybrán návrh Ateliéru Vizage, který projekt následně dle požadavků investora dopracoval. Letoš v září byl odhlasován návrh na vypsání výběrového řízení na projektovou dokumentaci podle návrhu, který se v soutěži umístil na druhém místě. Vítězný tým na vzniklou situaci reaguje otevřeným dopisem zastupitelům MČ Brno-střed.

Pustevny is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Beskydy Mountains. Its attractiveness is mainly due to a group of buildings built in the traditional “folk secession” style, designed by architect Dušan Jurkovič and built completely from wood in the late 19^th century. Today, inappropriate use and insufficient infrastructure are serious issues here. Last August, the new exit station of the cableway was opened, replacing the original and unsuitable facility, offering an open restaurant with panoramic views. The contemporary building of stone, wood and glass had to meet the client’s demands as well as those of heritage conservation and nature protection agencies. It’s considered the first step in the transformation of the whole area, which will include a new design of public spaces according to a single manual, among other things.
