In September, there will be an international architecture festival in Prague

Prague - The International Festival of Modern and Contemporary Architecture will take place under the name Architecture Week 2007 from September 17 to 23 in Prague. The organizers aim to present both professional and lay audiences with Czech and world architecture and the environment in an engaging way through various events, activities, and presentations.
The project should support interest in architecture and the environment primarily based on personal impressions, experiences, and insights. Among other things, the event should also promote further urban development in Prague, promote Czech architecture, and familiarize the public with visions of future development and planning.
The organizers, including graphic designers, architecture promoters, and the exhibition organizer Art&Interior, take inspiration from similar events abroad. They want to help people discover good architecture and enhance their understanding of it. They will strive to achieve this through guided walks, discussions, visits to usually inaccessible buildings, insights into architectural studios, lectures, exhibitions, film screenings, and presentations of foreign architecture.
They are also planning to compile various top ten rankings - restaurants with historical or architecturally interesting interiors, cafes, hotels, cinemas, play areas - playgrounds, spray artist galleries, as well as a "top ten" of buildings in poor condition or a Prague top ten.
In the third week of September, architecture enthusiasts will be able to visit, for example, the reconstructed Schwarzenberg Palace, one of the seats of the National Gallery in Prague, which will transform into the festival's center. It will feature an exhibition contributed to by significant architectural studios, offices, and leading developers. The palace will also host lectures and seminars by Czech and foreign architects, film screenings about architecture, and will have a bookstore specializing in professional literature.
Visitors will also receive a guide with a program and a map marking the locations of events. According to it, they can embark on their own walks through the streets of Prague and visit studios or exhibition spaces marked with the festival's flag.
Information about the festival will increase on the website www.architectureweek.cz.
In recent years, two similar events were held in Prague, organized by different organizers. In 2000, Architecture Week took place, and in 2004, a more extensive Archifest was held, which offered not only an introduction to new buildings but also an understanding of quality in architecture that has persisted for decades and centuries.
