SOS ARCHITECTURE ARCHIVE!!!
 
The archive of architecture is in shambles. We all saw how it was flooded by 3 and a half meters of water.
We saw how archive workers desperately tried to save it.  We saw their solitude.  We saw volunteers do all they could.  We knew that the archive was always a secondary interest of the institutions to whose administration and supervision it was entrusted.

 
Therefore we are setting up a fund for the preservation and restoration of an internationally unique archive of 19th and 20th century architecture. We want to acknowledge its historical value.  Let us think of the future documentation of Czech architecture.  We are asking for financial contributions for the preservation of plans

of the National Theatre, of the Hradec Králové Museum, of the Municipal Building, of the Legiobank and of the Trade Fair Building - the work of Josef Zítek, Jan Kotěra, Josef Gočár, Kamil Roškot and Jaroslav Frágner

among others.  Architecture needs our care and help.
