The Czech Republic will be represented by professors from the Faculty of Arts and Architecture and other project partners – Zdeněk Fránek, Jiří Suchomel, Antonín Novák, Petr Kratochvíl, Petr Volf. The conference will take place on new premises of the Regional Gallery in Liberec – a reconstructed building of former bath. It will be open to expert public and architecture students. Detailed information on the registration to the conference will be published soon and will be announced on the website of the project www.excentric.eu.
