     According to her, the project author Lucie Králová chose exceptional Czech buildings from 1993 to 2011, which have attracted attention both in the Czech Republic and abroad.

According to her, these are not only residential buildings but also include a swimming pool, a barn, a lookout tower, and even a printing house.
     The cycle will feature, for example, the new Faculty of Architecture in Prague, modern swimming pools in Brno and Litomyšl, or private villas in rural areas and satellite suburbs designed by the studio HŠH. The documentaries will showcase interesting personalities among architects - Martin Rajniš, Josef Pleskot, or Alena Šrámková, as well as investors and users of the buildings. The program will be broadcast every Saturday until the end of the year.
