Architecture and Central Planning in Czechoslovakia and State-Socialist Central Europe, 1945–1958

Original language description

Czechoslovak Stavoprojekt was established in 1948 as a state-run architectural planning organisation. Its creation in many respects marked the fulfilment of a vision of the left-wing avant-garde, but it was also a response to contemporary changes in society and the economy and to the need for the extensive regeneration of the economy, buildings, and infrastructure impacted by war. Stavoprojekt’s work encompassed a broad range of architectural and urban-planning tasks, from infrastructure, industrial buildings, housing, and public buildings to heritage conservation, typification, urban design, and regional planning. Centralisation had far-reaching impacts on Czechoslovak architecture and had transformative effects on the local landscape and settlements that went on for decades. The conference will focus on the genesis, functioning, and contexts of the work of Stavoprojekt in Czechoslovakia, but it will also look at the subject of central planning in other countries of central and eastern Europe and beyond. The aim of the conference is to create a platform for the discussion of methodological approaches to the study of the history of architecture and the architectural profession in the period from the end of the second world war to the close of the 1950s, when prefabricated construction practice gained great headway in the state-socialist countries of Europe.
