Právě mi vyšel rozhovor v pořadu Bourání na Český rozhlas.Mluvil jsem o své práci architekta v tropické Indonésii, kde navrhuji stavby fungující bez klimatizace – jen díky promyšlené orientaci, stínění a přirozenému proudění vzduchu.

A new interview with me is out now on the Czech Radio show Bourání.We talked about my work as an architect in tropical Indonesia, where I design buildings that function without air conditioning – relying instead on smart orientation, shading, and natural airflow.
Thanks to Bourání for the invitation and the chance to share my approach to sustainable architecture
Už tuto sobotu 24. 5. 2025 se potkáme na brněnském výstavišti, kde se společně s Osamu Okamurou ponoříme do fascinující otázky:
🏯 Co by kdyby japonská architektura ovládla svět?
Minimalismus, propojení s přírodou, důmyslné využití prostoru… Může japonská estetika změnit způsob, jakým žijeme, stavíme a přemýšlíme o městech?
Přijďte si poslechnout debatu, která otevře dveře mezi kontinenty a architektonickými světy. 🌏🔍
Těším se na vás!
✨ Huge thanks for the invitation to the show What If! ✨
This Saturday, May 24th, 2025, we’ll meet at the Brno Exhibition Centre, where I’ll join Osamu Okamura to dive into a fascinating question:
🏯 What if Japanese architecture ruled the world?
Minimalism, connection to nature, ingenious use of space… Can Japanese aesthetics transform the way we live, build, and think about cities?
Come and listen to a debate that opens doors between continents and architectural worlds. 🌏🔍
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Díky mým dlouhodobým zkušenostem z působení v Asii mohu studentům předávat nejen teoretické znalosti, ale i praktické vhledy do tamního architektonického kontextu.
At the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, I teach and lead the course Architecture in Asia, where students and I explore the architecture of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. We also focus on the traditional architecture of India, Vietnam, Japan, Tibet, Mongolia, and Indonesia, analyzing the mutual influences between Asian and European architecture, particularly in the context of colonialism. Additionally, we examine modern and contemporary architecture in Asia.
Thanks to my long-term experience working in Asia, I can provide students not only with theoretical knowledge but also with practical insights into the local architectural context.
Come and discover how 🏛️ modern architecture connects with exotic culture and traditions. I will share with you inspiring stories from my designs and realization of projects in a tropical environment 🌺 as well as the challenges that this work brings. Finally, I will introduce the new subject Architecture in Asia, which I will teach at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University 📚 from the summer semester – and which will introduce you to the fascinating world of Asian architecture 🌏. I look forward to seeing you! 😊
From November 2024, I am teaching a new course Designing the City: Creative Approaches to Urbanism, which will focus on designing modern and sustainable cities. The course is prepared in cooperation with the SKVOT platform. Detailed information, program and course outline can be found here ⬆️.
It is important to give young students experience in the field of architecture
