Spatial Forms

Jana Čulek

We invite you to join the upcoming edition of Sustainable Hour, taking place on Thursday, October 31, 2024, at 5:30 PM at Urania – Space of Creation. The topic of this lecture is “Spatial Forms,” featuring guest speaker Jana Čulek, a renowned architect and lecturer with international experience.

In this session, Jana Čulek will guide us through a rethinking of architecture and urbanism, not just as fields that provide spatial solutions but as disciplines that raise critical questions about space, society, and the environment. Emphasizing the importance of problematization rather than classical “problem-solving,” Jana will share her vision of architecture as a tool for creating new challenges, questioning established practices, and fostering space for innovative solutions.

Key themes of the lecture:

  • Architecture and Urbanism as Critical Disciplines – How can asking questions open space for new ideas and perspectives?
  • Problematization vs. Problem-Solving – The difference between traditional task-solving approaches and a research-driven approach that raises new questions and examines the given framework.
  • Examples from Practice – Jana will share examples from her international career, including her studies at the prestigious Berlage Institute, work in the Netherlands, and doctoral research at TU Delft.
  • New Roles and Tools for Architects and Urbanists – How can we develop tools that go beyond classic design methods, enabling architects to address the complex social, economic, and ecological challenges of our time?

This lecture offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into a new way of thinking about architecture and urbanism—an approach that not only seeks solutions but creates a context for critical spatial thought. Whether you’re a student, professional in architecture and urbanism, or simply interested in sustainable development, this event offers the chance to broaden your horizons.

Join us and explore how architecture and urbanism can serve as tools for innovation, critical thinking, and shaping a sustainable future.
