Ladislav Lábus (born 1951) is one of the foremost Czech architects working today, and his work has been gaining great respect and popularity among both his colleagues and the public for several decades. This volume provides a summary of his work to date, including award-winning new works such as his apartment buildings in Prague's Mod?any and Smíchov; the remarkable social services building in ?eský Krumlov; as well as his exceptional renovations, such as Prague's Langhans Palace, for which he won the Municipal Grand Prix; the Edison transformer stations in Prague; and the Prague Castle Riding School. Rich photographic documentation of his projects is interwoven with writings by his colleagues and friends, who map individual areas of Lábus' extensive oeuvre and focus on his pedagogy and the transformation of the Faculty of Architecture of CTU under his leadership as dean.
Czech Photography of the 20th Century, published simultaneously in Czech and English versions, is the first book to present the main trends, figures, and works of Czech photography from the beginning to the end of the last century to such a large extent. Its 517 plates include not only the most important, well-known photographs and photomontages, but also works that have long been forgotten or are published for the first time. The book is arranged in seventeen chapters, supplemented with chronologies of the most important events in twentieth-century Czech photography and history.
