“Do not be afraid to fall outside the norm, experiment, explore and to develop a frame of values that stands close to you as an individual.”

“For me, ARCHIP was not only an educational experience but an unforgettable journey of self exploration.”

“I would like to take the opportunity and thanks the people who helped me to enjoy the last three years.

Alex, Matt, Ramon, Deborah, Jordi, Olga and others, I will surely miss you!”

“The true spirit of ARCHIP doesn’t lie in the competitive mentality you see often, but on the camaraderie we share between each other.”

“Studying in Archip was largely experience-based learning through making, and less through frontal lectures.”

“Here, I discovered what it means to be a follower, a leader, a team player, a true friend, a master of something you are good at. I grew confidence in myself. “

“Imagine all the people living life in peace.”

“The most intimate gatherings bring the most diffused horizons”

“ARCHIP gave me opportunity “It was enriching to follow the “Interactive and dynamic vibe, to follow my dreams and design approach & behaviour of variety of topics discussed, opened up my eyes much people from diverse cultures & diversity within all of the different more than they used to be.” places around the world.” elements of which school is composed.”

QUESTIONNAIRE results GoRo winners who, when and why?

Our teaching community is growing With the unfortunate leave of Michael Palascak, Archip will introduce the students to a new studio leader in the beginning of the winter semester 2017/2018. René Dlesk was chosen from a group of 15 applicants, bringing forward a new approach to the studio development. Check out his website: http://www.p-u-r-a.com/. While, as for the GAD program, we would like to announce the new studio leader, Peter Stec, who will start from the following semester and will work together with Martin Hejl and Shota Tsikoliya to offer a new understanding in parametric design. Moreover, on behalf of the ARCHIPtalks team and the school as a whole, we would like to congratulate our rector, Regina Loukotová, on winning the scholarship at the Carnegie Mellon University in the USA, for her project called “School of Architecture as a Project”. Regrettably, this result in her leave from August till February but will benefit ARCHIP by the experience she will gain.

Last but not least we would like to remind you about the visiting landscape design studio which will be a collaboration between ARCHIP students and students of Studio Kolařík at the Faculty of Architecture Czech Technical University. The aim of the studio is to design a pavilion that will become a leading link at the landscape festival in Prague 2018. The design period lasts for a semester, followed by a fabrication period in the second semester. The first semester will be recognized as one of your AD studios of your Bachelor. Take your chance and register now!

To make communication in ARCHIP better and increase transparency, The ARCHIPTalks team released questionnaires in May, regarding on how satisfied are the students with the studio approaches for this semester’s project. Also, the studio leaders/assistants were interviewed in order to see students’ work and school’s perspective from another angle. In the end, we got two different views to see what weights more or less and how can we all bring it to a better level. All results were presented at the students’ assembly and were also sent to each studio leader /assistant. Questionnaires can be found on ARCHIP’s facebook page and blog. We’re hoping that these interviews will spark conversation and help connect us as a school.

GoRo winners: This semester’s project included the design of a new school for ARCHIP, with varying emphases and design approaches. After the finalization, they were exhibited in the municipality building, where the GO-RO price for the best project was announced. For the second time at ARCHIP, three external jury members were asked to decide on a project which represents the best the given approach. Out of all entries submitted for the competition, 10 promising works were chosen.

In the next step of the competition, the jury selected the best project named “Twins”, designed by Maria Luu Orozco, a Bachelor in Architecture program student from Mexico. Her design was described as “Relieving absence of over-design: two concise prisms of small scale, with an extended roof giving the possibility of sitting in the interstice between the two volumes and eventually on their roof terraces.” The approach enabled each studio to account for the context, the use of the space and the message the design should project. Based on these criteria’s, Ateliér Palaščák & Šimonová was selected as the best studio. With this competition, ARCHIP promotes and supports students and works to increase the awareness and understanding of design amongst the general public.
