Jan Jehlík: Handbook of Urbanism
Vladimír's bookstore Serius and the civic association PLAC cordially invite you to the 36th lecture from the series "Printed Architecture." This time, on Friday, December 9, 2016, at 6:30 PM in Jablonec, we will welcome urbanist Jan Jehlík, who will present his new book Guide to Urbanism.
The guest of the evening will be architect and educator Jan Jehlík, who will present his new book Guide to Urbanism with the subtitle Architecture of Understanding and Designing the Environment. The publishing house Ausdruck Books presents the book: „In the Czech context, the first original work that comprehensively addresses the previously somewhat neglected discipline of architecture. How to approach urban tasks, how to proceed from small scales to large, from the general to the particular, from idea to form? The text seeks to encompass all aspects of the field and the general framework conditions for settlement creation, from the basics of human existence in the world to the technical and political spheres of decision-making, and formulates theses from which methods of design, evaluation, or design decisions can emerge in practice. The Guide to Urbanism is also a personal testimony of the abilities and possibilities of organizing the architect's thinking world in the context of an extraordinarily challenging task: to understand the surrounding environment and consciously design its valuable transformation.”
Doc. ing. arch. Jan Jehlík (*1959) graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at Czech Technical University. After completing his studies, he worked at Stavoprojekt, subsequently leading the development department of the City Hall of Ústí nad Labem. In 1996, he founded his own studio Jan Jehlík – architectural office (see www.janjehlik.cz). Since 2007, he has been the head of the Institute of Urbanism at the Faculty of Architecture, Czech Technical University in Prague. He is the main researcher in the research work Methodology for Drawing Up Urban Plans, a program project of the capital city of Prague, and the main researcher of the five-year NAKI II project: Origin and Attributes of Heritage Values of Historical Towns of the Czech Republic. Since 2010, he has organized the annual conference Inventory of Urbanism and is also the author of numerous journalistic texts on architecture and urbanism. A selection of them was published by Ausdruck Books in 2014 under the title Community and Settlement. On Landscape, Urbanism, and Architecture.
