 The office M1 Architekti, whose distinctive style is defined primarily by three partners Jakub Havlas, Jan Hájek, and Pavel Joba, was established in 2000. Although they are more of a small design office, where in addition to them, there are usually three to five other architects working as needed, it turns out that even with this relatively small number they are capable of “leading and executing two to three fairly large projects and thus managing contracts with an investment value around one billion”.In this interview, we have decided to overlook the recent significant experience of reconstructing the Czech National House on Manhattan in New York (2004 – 2008) and focus primarily on questions that revive the often neglected truth that architecture is not design and must respect broader urban relationships. Against the backdrop of the city, we thus addressed the new building of the Faculty of Science in Olomouc (2004 – 2009) as well as the yet-to-be-realized project of the Janáček Cultural Center in Brno (1st place in the competition, 2003 – 2004). |
