Dalibor Hlaváček was re-elected as the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University

 
The Academic Senate of the Faculty of Architecture at the Czech Technical University in Prague elected Dalibor Hlaváček as Dean on November 5, 2025. After his appointment by the rector, he will begin his first term in February 2026. All fifteen members of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Architecture at the Czech Technical University voted for him.

"I perceive the election results as recognition of the work of the entire faculty leadership and all those involved in its development. At the same time, it is a commitment for me to continue the work that has begun and to further strengthen the quality and openness of our school," stated Dalibor Hlaváček after his election.

As the largest school of architecture in the country, the FA CTU has expanded its focus in recent years beyond traditional teaching of architecture and urbanism to include landscape architecture, design, planning, and development. "This diversification reflects the complexity of the modern world and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to creating environments," added Hlaváček.

He aims to continue developing the faculty as a creative and respected academic institution. "I strive for a school that responds to social changes, offers top-notch education, research, and artistic activities, and supports creative freedom and collaboration across disciplines," he stated.

In the upcoming four-year term, he plans to complete the revision of study programs, expand teaching in English, and open new opportunities for international mobility. The faculty will also strengthen connections with practice and interdisciplinary cooperation, creating a platform for joint projects with cities, institutions, and companies.

Another priority will be the modernization of the faculty's facilities for creative activities. The faculty is also preparing an online library that will provide open access to results emerging from the faculty. It also plans to start publishing a peer-reviewed journal that will publish original research results in architecture, landscape architecture, urbanism, and spatial planning, including artistic research.
