After studying in Sweden, architect Rozálie Kašparová returned to Prague, where at the Public Space Office of the Prague Institute of Planning and Development she has been working on projects of various scales dealing with public spaces. From the smallest detail of the city, which is developing the Prague Chairs & Tables project, over the revitalization of Karlovo náměstí, where the design was selected through an innovative competitive dialogue proces to a large scale strategic koncepts as Rohanský ostrov. All projects naturally have a social dimension, use participative methods, and look for ways to create inclusive public spaces in Prague.

Benjamín Iborra Wicksteed
Jury / architecture
“Believing that work is only successful by being moved by passion, I combine architecture & cinema by being one of the five founders & partners of MESURA and producing, writing and playing short movies & Theater.”
Benjamin Iborra Wicksteed is a partner and creative director at studio Mesura and also an educator. MESURA is proud of not being a “signature” design firm. They have intentionally never developed a stylistic formula for their work, which is why their projects never quite look or feel the same. Each of their spaces is the result of our ability to listen, which has turned their designs and buildings into personal reflections of their clients’ personalities and values, which they co-construct through research, workshops and surveys.Filipa Dias
