A graduate of Germany's Bauhaus, he was one of the refugees fleeing Nazism to Czechoslovakia, and among many other achievements, he later became the director of the photography department of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Through his work, he fulfilled avant-garde ideas on the synthesis of artistic fields: he was a painter, stage designer, art theorist and pedagogue, but also a creator of abstract objects moving along the boundaries of minimalistic and kinetic constructions. His fate in life and created body of work began gaining a clearer form in the framework of research on visual artists, who found sanctuary in interwar Czechoslovakia from demagogic political systems. Until that time, Hannes Beckmann had been utterly unknown to Czech art history and elsewhere. This is seen in the absence of his name in Czech technical literature, but also because he was never mentioned even in publications published by the Bauhaus with which he had been involved for some time.

Od Bilbao efektu ku High Line efektu
Krištof, Michal
In last 50 years it is possible to trace changing role of architecture in urban development strategies. Two main tendencies is possible to identify. Fisrt strategy is a realisation of an iconic building as a flagship of new development of the city. The most obvious example of this approach is Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Second strategy evidents in last decade is usage of public space as a catalist of continuous transformation and development of cities. The best example could be High Line in New York.
