The jubilee 5th year of the prestigious Office of the Year competition, in which more than 500 exceptional office realizations have entered the history of the competition, is launching the registration of applications today. In addition, this year the organizer of the competition, the company Prochazka & Partners, is coming up with a number of novelties. The biggest one is the transfer of the gala evening to summer, and instead of the interior of the Žofín Palace, the biggest design event of the year will take place in the gardens. Guests can look forward to a charming gala garden party in the heart of Prague. Thanks to the transfer of the gala evening to the summer months, the contestants have more time to prepare their entries - both architectural studios and the companies themselves can traditionally enter the competition. Registration will be open until April 30, 2021.

The AFI City office building 1 on the city brownfield in Prague 9 near the Kolbenova metro station is full of interesting architectural and design elements. One of them is the artistically crafted gear motif, which occupies the entire main wall of the reception hall, and is the first thing that welcomes visitors. The work by Czech artist Ivan Komárek is a reminder of the rich industrial past of Vysočany, which was the pride of Czech industry at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries: the most important companies at the time included the Czech-Moravian Machine Factory, Kolben's Electrical Factory and a plant of the engineering company Breitfeld-Daněk, later connected with the world-famous ČKD, but also the carmaker Praga or the Avia Aero aircraft factory.
