City Modules in 2018

Late spring throu­gh sum­mer is the sea­son for fes­ti­vals and cul­tu­ral events whe­re our CITY modu­les are used in plen­ty. So we would like to high­li­ght just a few. In late April, and for the fourth time, our CITY modu­les appea­red at a stu­dent event orga­ni­zed by UTB Zlín at Design Week. At the same time three modu­les found the­ir way to Olo­mouc to appear at The Inter­nati­o­nal Fes­ti­val of Popu­lar-Science Films, AFO. During the mon­th of May, nine modu­les ser­ved as a unique pop-up expo­si­ti­on at Sdíl­ko in Ost­ra­va. A mul­ti-flo­or assem­bly of The Mini Ligh­thou­se bre­athed life into Wen­ceslas Squa­re in Pra­gue ser­ving as an info point at The Pra­gue Spring Music Fes­ti­val. The big­gest spring event for our CITY modu­les was The Zlín Film Fes­ti­val. As May tur­ned to June you could see 39 modu­les inclu­ding design workshops and Ligh­thou­se assem­b­lies in the cen­t­re of Zlín, which were used as auxi­li­a­ry rooms for Czech Tele­vi­si­on. Ano­ther fes­ti­val followed – this time it was in Carl­sbad whe­re we erec­ted a buil­ding for Czech Tele­vi­si­on for the second time. The­re was also a modu­le assem­bly for BMW auto­mo­bi­les on-site with a cus­tom faca­de made of Cet­ris and ply­wo­od designed by the Olgoj Chor­choj Stu­dio. Mea­nwhi­le, The Ligh­thou­se was moved to Sou­th Mora­vi­an Sum­mer in Uher­ské Hra­diš­tě. Other modu­les could be seen on the main squa­res in Otro­ko­vi­ce, Kro­mě­říž, at the Lip­no Dam and in Pra­gue. They were also pre­sent at Colours of Ost­ra­va and at the Barum Rally in Zlín. This year our modu­les paid a visit abroad as well – four units were used in Tren­či­an­ské Tep­li­ce and others could be found in the Beše­ňo­vá and Tatra­lan­dia water­parks. Nei­ther autumn nor win­ter dimi­nished the usage of our design CITY modu­les by orga­ni­sati­ons. At Anděl in Pra­gue they affor­ded an exhi­bi­ti­on spa­ce to com­me­mo­ra­te the 50^th anni­ver­sa­ry of Czech occu­pati­on by the War­saw Pact armies led by the Soviet Uni­on. Seve­ral modu­les also ser­ved as a pre­sen­tati­on spa­ces for designers par­ti­ci­pa­ting in Designblock – the lar­gest design event in Cen­t­ral Euro­pe. Asi­de from the modu­les tra­di­ti­o­nally used at The Sig­nál Fes­ti­val of Light in Pra­gue, our modu­lar buil­dings were used at The Svět­lo Val­mez Fes­ti­val of Light and Vir­tu­al Rea­li­ty. The Ligh­thou­se jaz­zed up the his­to­ri­cal squa­re in Jih­la­va during Ji-Hla­va, the lar­gest docu­men­ta­ry film fes­ti­val in Euro­pe. In Pra­gue our City modu­les were a part of the cen­ten­nial fes­ti­vi­ties cele­bra­ting the foun­ding of Cze­cho­slo­va­kia – read more here. They were pre­sent also at The Futu­re Port (FPP) 2018 inno­vati­on fes­ti­val in Pra­gue Hole­šo­vi­ce. Design modu­les will also be seen in Brno and in other pla­ces throu­ghout the coun­t­ry during Christmas mar­ket season.
