The 10th edition of the International Festival Architecture Week Prague will take place between September 26th and October 9th, 2016. It is a selection of the most important contemporary architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, renewal and development projects. The Romanian Cultural Institute in Prague has been participating ever since its first edition in 2009 and this year we present the Bathing space on Tineretului Lake by architect Szabolcs Korodi and collaborators Gergely Attila, ing.

The theme of this edition is „Organic City - Creators of cities". More than 30 countries - represented by embassies and cultural institutes - have been invited to take part in the festival. Romania is represented by a team of designers who are disrupting the way architecture is traditionally deliveredThe project fits this year's concept of the festival by bringing the vision of a contemporary and futuristic life of a city and by promoting positive change to its public space.

The program of the festival consists of: international exhibition of architecture models (Mánes building, Masarykovo nábř., 110 00 Praha 1), film projections, photography exhibitions, graphic works, lectures, conferences and guided tours through which the audience discovers the architecture of the capital and of other cities in the Czech Republic.

On October 6th, 2016, Mr. Korodi will participate in the International Architecture Conference and will be present at the official gala of the festival. The following day, he will be taking part in a series of lectures, held by all the guest specialists. The events within the framework of the Architecture Week Prague, aimed to stimulate or engage all levels of architectural curiosity, will offer the Romanian architect an opportunity to connect with an international professional network of industry representatives who collectively make architecture and contribute to the built environment.
