LIBEREC × KOŠICE
same same, but different
Two cities.
Similar in size.
Around 650 kilometres apart.
Two schools of architecture, similar in size and with similar numbers of students. Different cities, different surroundings and different approaches to teaching architecture.
The exhibition presents a selection of the best student work from Liberec and Košice. It shows what can emerge under similar conditions when different approaches are taken: how students read their city, respond to its problems and explore possible solutions through architecture.
For Liberec, the exhibition is also a reminder of the importance of student competitions and the tradition of Ještěd f Kleci (JFK), which has been running at FUA TUL for decades and regularly showcases the best student work.
This is the first meeting. Same same, but different.
Because the differences may be exactly what is worth sharing.
In future, we want to broaden this approach by inviting schools that are even more “different” — in scale, setting, tradition and the way they teach architecture.
A joint exhibition bringing together young architects from the Faculty of Arts and Architecture at the Technical University of Liberec and the Technical University of Košice, building on international collaboration and the Ještěd f kleci student competition.
Alongside the works themselves, the exhibition offers an opportunity to compare the approaches of young designers from the two universities and gain an insight into contemporary architectural education.
