New spaces of CCEA
Center for Central European Architecture acquired in late 2008 to long-term lease beautiful, but now uninhabitable spaces in Karolíny Světlé Street in Prague 1. After reconstruction we need in these areas to build a center of modern architecture in which we organize lectures, seminars, exhibitions and workshops, and in this way to approach modern architecture and urbanism to the general public and thereby contribute to increasing the ability to read urban space and critically evaluate new projects, intentions and vision and a positive effect on the appearance and especially the quality of public space.
Information, walks
The information center will be oriented to all those interested in contemporary architecture, which will be able to obtain daily information on Prague's modern buildings as well as contemporary architectural and building developments in the capital, not least here knows everything about completed and upcoming projects CCEA. Based on the mapping of modern architecture in Prague prepare walking lines, which those interested in architectural tours of Prague recommend and provide them information materials.
Education, learning, playing
CCEA conceptual intention is to move the focus of activity towards education and architectural awareness. Previous Lectures and discussion will be extended practice on the educational program for high school building on the "Memorandum on a holistic and continuous training in the field of architecture" signed between the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and the Czech Chamber of Architects. The new center will organize all these events in their own spaces, which will have a positive impact on the quality of education, its organization and management of the CCEA.
Exhibitions, residencies
The new premises will be placed on library CCEA, which is composed of several hundred mostly foreign bonds, and which is finally due to the new location accessible to all those interested in renting. At the same time we intend to premises in Caroline Street Light used for the presentation of works of visual artists who come to Prague for residential stays. To contribute to the fulfillment of one of the fundamental ideas and visions CCEA, which is interdisciplinarity, research and describe the relationship of architecture and other fields of human activity.
Research and Theory
Another pillar of our activity is research and theoretical work, in which we focus on monitoring the interaction of architecture and blending with other arts and disciplines. The new facility will provide facilities for both their own research and to its organization and presentation of its output in the form of exhibitions, debates and workshops. The focus of research activity is currently a projectUrbanity twenty years later, in which you want to describe and interpret the changes undergone by the metropolis of Central States in the last 20 years. Another project currently underway is to make a catalog of buildings from the years 1990 - 2005 built in Prague 1 in the coming years, the project will start Prager - Schlup, in which you want to compare the conditions for the architectural work in Switzerland and Czechoslovakia of the sixties. All these projects will provide new space facilities, without which their implementation was unthinkable.
