The Faculty of Architecture of CTU, in collaboration with the FORUM 2000 Foundation, is pleased to invite you to a series of lectures by leading world architects, held as part of the 14th Forum 2000 conference "The World We Want to Live In".
Juhani Pallasmaa — October 8 at 6:00 PM at the Bethlehem Chapel
Juhani Pallasmaa (* 1939, Hämeenlinna, Finland) - an architect and architectural theorist sensitive to the human dimensions of architecture. He served as the dean of the Technical University of Helsinki and as a visiting professor at Washington University in St. Louis. He worked at the Museum of Finnish Architecture, and his exhibitions of Finnish architecture have taken place in over thirty countries (including Czechoslovakia in the 1960s). His texts have been translated into Czech by P. Kratochvíl and published in the Golden Ratio.
Stefan Behnisch — October 11 at 6:30 PM at the Bethlehem Chapel
Stefan Behnisch (* 1957, Stuttgart, Germany) - a leading figure at Behnisch Architekten (Stuttgart/Germany). One of the first to significantly contribute to the discussion on "sustainable" architecture. In a number of innovative large projects, he has managed to gather teams of the best experts from both Europe and the USA, with whom he seeks and gradually implements the fundamental principles of sustainable architecture for the 21st century.
Fumihiko Maki — October 12 at 5:30 PM, lecture hall of the Ministry of Culture - the Stables of the Nostitz Palace
Fumihiko Maki (* 1928, Tokyo, Japan) - a Japanese architect, laureate of the Pritzker Prize, the highest award for architecture, which was ceremonially presented to him in Prague at Prague Castle in 1993.
After studying in Japan and the United States, he worked for ten years with S.O.M and José Lluis Sert before opening his own office in Tokyo in 1965. His numerous projects and realizations are diverse, arising from a personal approach to each client and project. They can be found in many countries around the world, successfully linking local and global cultural influences. For Maki, who was the leader of the Metabolists, an avant-garde group of young Japanese architects in the early 60s, architectural creation is primarily about timelessness, about harmony of parts and the whole, at the scale of detail, house, and city – it is "discovering, not inventing".
