Josef Pleskot: Cities

5/11 2022 – 12/2 2023
Museum Kampa

The exhibition Josef Pleskot: Cities focuses on three specific urban settlements where architect Josef Pleskot has completed the most projects: Ostrava-Vítkovice, Litomyšl, and Prague. The four halls of the Kampa Museum, however, present more than merely individual buildings and projects; the exhibition seeks to convey Pleskot’s approach to architecture and the work of his studio in a broader, more general context and to contribute to addressing the issue of the social role of architecture.

The project includes a rich accompanying program, a debate meeting with Josef Pleskot, and many other stimulating guests. In this respect, the exhibition is not intended to be just a balanced retrospective but also an experimental search for the key questions and challenges of today which are by no means limited to architecture.
