I moved from Brno to small village near Zlin and I am not able to host now but I work in Zlin and I am available for a chat, lunch or short walk around the town. I have office in old Bata factory near city center just two buildings away from famous Bata skyscraper (building number 21) so I can show you around old factory complex and tell you something about Zlin, its history and architecture. Other things in my profile are not updated for quite a long time…

CURRENT MISSION

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.(Gandhi)

ABOUT ME

I am an architect- that’s not a job that’s… sickness. I like to look at things, explore and think. After studying in Glasgow (UK) and working in Tienen (BE) I came back to work in Brno (CZ). But I think there will come the time again to move somewhere new for a bit longer, maybe final to realise my dream to live and work in NY.

PHILOSOPHY

I love quotes so i will use few to describe my thoughts.

"The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
from a letter from Christopher McCandless to Ronald Frantz.... I guess many people saw the movie but I strongly recommend reading the book its great!!!

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don´t matter and those who matter don´t mind."
Dr. Seuss

"We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge."
John Naisbitt

"There are two mountains on which the weather is bright and clear, the mountain of the beasts and the mountain of the gods. But between them lies the crepuscular valley of men. If perchance one of them gaze upward, he is seized by a premonitory, unquenchable yearning, he who knows that he does not know, for those that do not know that they do not know and those who know that they know. „ Paul Klee

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am doing the most amazing thing right now....living. Live is to amazing to pick one or few things....but OK few then.... so let say living for a while in Glasgow(UK) and in Tienen(BE), getting to now new culture, people traveling around... and other travels of course, but also just enjoying being back (now in Brno) and seeing the things I know with new fresh eyes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn as much as possible about everything and there is no better feeling then to share when you have something to share and someone who wants to listen....well I can teach you to dance some of our folk dances for example, teach you something about architecture and about Czech Republic and Poland.
