NAt the end of the winter semester, a lecture by the renowned Japanese architect Kazunori Fujimoto, known for his minimalist and elegant architectural designs, was held at FUA. During his visit to the Czech Republic, in addition to his lecture at the Faculty of Arts and Architecture (FUA) in Liberec, he also managed to explore several important places. Fujimoto visited the house of the famous Czech architect Karel Hubáček, who is known primarily for his work on the television transmitter and the hotel on Mount Ještěd. This iconic project combines futuristic design with functionalism and is considered one of the highlights of Czech post-war architecture.

The next stop on his journey were the Zen houses designed by architects Petr Stolín and Alena Mičeková. These architects are known for their innovative approach to minimalist architecture and Zen principles, which is very close to Fujimoto's own philosophy of creation. Their houses, which are characterized by clean lines, simple materials and a harmonious connection of the interior with the exterior.

Kazunori Fujimoto is known for his ability to create spaces that are not only functional, but also aesthetically impressive and meditative. His work encompasses a variety of building types, from private residences to public buildings, always with an emphasis on detail, quality of materials and connection to the surrounding environment. His visit to the Czech Republic not only enriched the local architectural scene, but also showed how traditional Japanese principles can be transferred and applied in different cultural contexts.
