eCAADe 2012 Conference venue
Czech Technical University in Prague and Faculty of Architecture
The venue for the conference is the Czech Technical University in Prague (CVUT), Faculty of Architecture.
It is one of the oldest engineering schools in central-Europe. It was founded in 1707 as a school of
Engineering (now Faculty of Civil Engineering), and architectural education already started in the
first half of the 18th Century. Two years after the foundation of the independent Czech-Slowak Republic
the school was renamed in 1920 to Czech Technical University, including the College of Architecture and
Civil Engineering. In 1960 the independent Faculty of Civil Engineering was created, and in 1976 the
independent Faculty of Architecture. The Faculty of Architecture therefore has its roots in the over
300 year's tradition of CVUT and the outlook of a young faculty.
New architecture building
In 2011 the Faculty of Architecture moved to the new Faculty of Architecture Building. The building
is designed by Prof.ing.arch. Alena Šrámková, ing.arch. Lukáš Ehl and ing.arch. Tomáš Koumar. It will
be the venue for the 30th International eCAADe conference. The building is located in the campus of Czech
Technical University in Prague, which lies in the district called Dejvice. Dejvice is near the well-know
Prague castle and also relatively close to Prague international airport Ruzyne.
