Architecture and Society through the Eyes of Josef Pleskot

On the occasion of the 70th birthday of the important Czech architect Josef Pleskot, the Kampa Museum has prepared an exhibition entitled Josef Pleskot: Cities. What is the meaning of architecture, what is its social role, how does it influence public space and democracy, and what impact does the environment have on everyone's life? These are the questions to which the programme Evening on the Theme on Czech Radio Vltava seeks to answer.

The almost two-hour programme takes you through the four halls of the exhibition at the Kampa Museum: 'Ostrava', 'Litomyšl', 'Prague' and 'Atelier'. In addition to Josef Pleskot, the editor Teresie Bečková also interviews Jan Světlík, the initiator of the transformation of Vítkovice Ironworks, Miroslav Brýdl, the first post-Soviet mayor of Litomyšl, and the two curators of the exhibition, Jan Skřivánek and Norbert Schmidt.
