Architecture of seventeens and eighteens based in Chzechia and Slovakia. Evolution and transformation of state projection and construction companies, their focus and content connected to the political-economical situation in former Czechoslovakia.

The main topic of the project is the architecture of the seventies and eighties in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This project is focusing on the former state projection (and construction) companies, their development, transformation, thematic focus and job description, following the political-economic situation in the former Czechoslovakia. All these will be comparing to a political-economical situation in the former Czechoslovakia. Two and five-year economy plans in whole postwar era of Czechoslovakia are also an important point of the projection. The biggest focus will be on the era of the seventies and eighties, since this is the least mapped period in this direction. It is necessary to said that this project is unique due to its geographical focus, since it connects both countries, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Thematically, project will be mapping connections of the work of individual project institutes and their focus to the central economical aspects and plans. How did the job placement work? How were individual assignments specified and distributed? How did the day-to-day running of institutes, companies or studios work? These and many other issues will be the key in the final project solution.
