Surveying the life's work of a renowned contemporary Czech architect
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
Modřany and Smíchov; the remarkable social services building in Český
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.
