archint 1918_2018: Hradec Králové. Salon of the Republic

Recorded 5.12.2018 at Tschechisches Zentrum Berlin


The lecture by PhDr. Ladislav Zikmund-Lender showed that the
unique modern urbanism and architecture in Hradec Králové laid
references to historic periods, systematically incorporated
public green zones in the concept of the metropolis as well as
organically interconnected progressive and traditional
architectural forms. Additionally, because of a liberal
environment in the city, there was a unique permeation of
national identities in shaping the modern architecture – Czech
and German – and various religious backgrounds – Catholic,
Jewish, Protestant and after 1918 a new Czechoslovak church which
became very popular.


archint 1918_2018 is a series of events on the turn in
architecture after 1918, after the establishment of the First
Czechoslovak Republic. Young theoreticians of architecture will
present their new projects on heritage and the courageous modern
visions that have strongly shaped the Czech architectural
landscape. In cooperation with CzechTourism
