Exhibit Architecture / Between Image and Narrative

How should architecture be exhibited today, and what is the significance and contribution of these exhibitions? 

Forty Czech and foreign theorists, curators, architects, and artists who have long been involved with this topic offer different answers to these questions in the form of exhibition works of art or theoretical contributions to the publication. 

The exhibition and the eponymous accompanying book Exhibit Architecture (Gočár Gallery, Automatic Mills complex in Pardubice, October 4, 2025 – February 22, 2026) will be complemented by two-day international conference (February 19–20) featuring theorists, active artists, and architects. 

Thanks to this event, interested members of the general cultural public, experts, and students will have the opportunity to meet prominent figures from the Czech and international scene in person, listen to lectures, and participate in debates. 

It is certainly worth noting that personal meetings and lively discussions were the most frequently mentioned benefits of organizing architectural exhibitions in the individual essays in the above-mentioned publication.

Admission to the conference will be free.

WORKSHOP WITH DAGUR EGGERTSON

September 10 to 14 , Automatic Mills, Pardubice

We warmly invite architecture and art students to a creative workshop led by Icelandic architect Dagur Eggertsson from the renowned studio Rintala Eggertsson Architects. Over the course of five days, we will design and build a sauna on the grounds of the Automatic Mills in Pardubice. The workshop will offer a unique opportunity to get involved in the entire process—from conceptual design to actual construction—and to try out teamwork and a creative approach to public space and sustainable architecture. The result will be a functional building that will be presented to the public at a vernissage on Sunday, September 14.

The workshop begins on Wednesday, September 10, at 12 noon with an introductory meeting and presentation of the assignment. We look forward to seeing everyone who is not afraid to pick up a pencil and a hammer.

The price of the workshop is CZK 2,000. Accommodation and everything necessary for work will be provided.
Start: Wednesday, September 10, at 12:00 p.m.
Opening: Sunday, September 14, at 2:00 p.m.
For more information and registration, please contact: Dan Merta / dan@architectura.cz
