I work in architecture across a wide scope. In my multidisciplinary projects, I explore how social and political phenomena manifest themselves in the contemporary built environment. I co-authored three short films exploring social overlaps of architecture, I work in 3D graphics and exhibition design, and I write about architecture for Czech cultural platforms.
