Monografie, jež vychází u příležitosti padesátých narozenin Kamila Mrvy, představuje rozsáhlé, čtvrt století se vyvíjející dílo. Stavby tohoto úspěšného architekta se objevují především v okolí Beskyd: dokazují, že lze žít v souladu s krajinným rázem a tradicí, a přitom nerezignovat na soudobý životní styl. "V tomto ohledu byl Kamil Mrva bezesporu průkopníkem nového, velmi empatického přístupu k architektuře", upozorňuje spisovatel Petr Volf. Zvláštní pozornost je v knize věnována jeho práci pro Trojanovice, jež podle poroty soutěže Architekt obci 2023 můžou "připomínat valašskou obdobu švýcarského Vrinu, kde též jediný architekt, Gion Caminada, dlouhodobě, samostatně a na světové úrovni pečuje o jednu odlehlou horskou obci". Jenom těžko nalezneme architekta, který by dokázal tak vyloženě pozitivně ovlivnit podobu rodinných domů, ale také škol, sportovišť, prodejen, turistických center stejně jako industriálních staveb či veřejných prostranství, jako se to v jednadvacátém století podařilo Kamilu Mrvovi. S jeho tvorbou se můžeme setkat na venkově, ve městech, ale i v metropolích, jakými jsou Ostrava, Brno nebo Praha - a vedle Česka také na Slovensku či Polsku. Regionální architekt tak dosáhl krok za krokem nadregionální, ba mezinárodní význam, a svým komplexním přístupem inspiruje novou generaci architektů. The present monograph, published to commemorate the fiftieth birthday of Kamil Mrva, presents his extensive oeuvre developing across a quarter of a century. The buildings of this successful architect have appeared primarily in the region of the Beskydy Mountains: confirming that it is possible to live in harmony with a landscape's character and traditions while not being forced to relinquish contemporary aesthetics or comfort. "In this aspect, Kamil Mrva was undoubtedly the pioneer of a new, highly empathetic approach to architecture”, notes author Petr Volf. Particular attention is paid in the book to his work for the small town of Trojanovice, which in the view of the jury for the competition "Local Architect 2023” can "recall a Wallachian parallel to the Swiss village of Vrin, where likewise a single architect, Gion Caminada, has taken long-term, independent, and world-class care of this remote mountain settlement”. It would be hard indeed to find an architect that has had such an unambiguously positive influence on the form of family houses, yet equally schools, sports complexes, retail outlets, tourist information centres, or even industrial buildings or public spaces, as Kamil Mrva has managed to do in the twenty-first century. His work can be encountered in the countryside, in small towns, or even in the metropolises of Ostrava, Brno, or Prague - and outside the Czech Republic, also in Slovakia and Poland. As such, this regional architect has increasingly reached national, indeed even international significance, with his thorough and complex approach inspiring a new generation of practitioners.

Prototyping is an essential part of the designer’s repertoire. Designers prototype their projects to test them, structurally, aesthetically, technically. Whether the prototype works or not is not the point: prototyping is the revelatory process through which the designer gains insight. There are three reasons why contemporary prototyping techniques are transforming the way architects design and build: 1) at a miniature scale, prototyping aids the architect in the presentation to clients of complex spatial ideas; 2) prototyping empowers the architect-designer to test and prove a building’s feasibility, leading to more open-minded construction solutions; 3) whether additive (3D printing) or subtractive (robotic milling), prototyping can lead to unexpected and exciting new possibilities within design as a whole, across design disciplines, thus blurring the boundaries between them in highly creative ways. The book has four sections: an introduction that charts the rise of prototyping in design history, more specifically in architecture; an overview of techniques; a survey section featuring 30 projects, each presented through texts drawn from first-hand interviews, on-site photographs and drawings; and a reference section, which includes a glossary of technical terms.

In the summer of 1962, one year after the rise of the Berlin Wall, a group of daring young West Germans risked prison, Stasi torture and even death to liberate friends, lovers, and strangers in East Berlin by digging tunnels under the Wall. Then, as the world's press heard about the secret projects, two television networks raced to be the first to document them from the inside, funding two separate tunnels for exclusive rights to film the escapes. In response, President John F. Kennedy and his administration, wary of anything that might raise tensions and force a military confrontation with the Soviets, maneuvered to quash both documentaries. As Greg Mitchell's riveting narrative unfolds, we meet extraordinary characters: the legendary cyclist who became East Berlin's most wanted man; the tunneller who had already served four years in the East German gulag; the Stasi informer who betrays the 'CBS tunnel'; the young East Berliner who escapes with her baby, then marries one of the tunnellers; and an engineer who would later help build the tunnel under the English Channel.Capturing the hopes and fears of everyday Berliners, the chilling reach of the Stasi secret police, and the political tensions of the Cold War, The Tunnels is breaking history, a propulsive read whose themes still reverberate today (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Esencializmus nie je o tom, aby sme robili viac za kratší čas.Je o tom, aby sme robili to, čo je správne. Cítite sa niekedy pod tlakom, lebo ste si na seba toho nabrali priveľa?Cítite sa súčasne prepracovaný a nevyužitý?Ste často zaneprázdnený, ale výsledky tomu nezodpovedajú?Máte pocit, že váš čas neustále využívajú iní? Ak ste na ktorúkoľvek otázku odpovedali áno, spôsob, ako sa z toho dostať, je Cesta esencialistu. Esencializmus nie je o tom, ako urobiť viac za kratší čas. Ide o to, aby ste sa naučili robiť len tie správne veci. Nie je to stratégia manažmentu času ani technika na zvýšenie produktivity. Je to systematická snaha o rozlišovanie toho, čo je absolútne podstatné a následne eliminácia všetkého, čo nie je – aby sme tak boli maximálne užitoční tam, kde na tom najviac záleží. Tým, že nás cieľavedomé úsilie robiť menej núti používať selektívnejšie kritériá pri určovaní toho, čo je PODSTATNÉ, dáva nám aj väčšiu moc opätovne získať kontrolu nad vlastným rozhodovaním, čomu chceme venovať svoj drahocenný čas a energiu. A prestať tak iným poskytovať tichý súhlas na rozhodovanie za nás. Esencializmus nie je iba ďalšia novinka – je to celkom nový spôsob, ako robiť úplne všetko. Toto je povinné čítanie pre každého lídra, manažéra alebo jednotlivca, ktorý sa chce dozvedieť, ako v každej oblasti života robiť menej, ale lepšie. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

O své přítomnosti na Zemi dali vědět před třinácti lety. Poskytli technologie a vědecké poznatky daleko přesahující lidské představy. Stali se nepostradatelnými poradci a slíbili další dary, které jsme prostě nemohli odmítnout. Guruové, tak jsme jim začali říkat. Trvalo poměrně dlouho, než to na nás vybalili, a při zpětném ohlédnutí je jasné proč. Od slunce ke slunci, od planety k planetě je pronásledovali neústupní nepřátelé – a oni potřebovali naši pomoc. Guruové vystavili první účet. A kosmoňáci jako já ho samozřejmě měli dobrovolně zaplatit. Jejich nepřátelé už pronikli do naší sluneční soustavy a budovali předsunutou základnu, ale ne na Zemi. Na Marsu. (patro.cz)

Sotva bývalý prokurátor Penn Cage a jeho snoubenka, reportérka a vydavatelka Caitlin Mastersová, vyvázli ze spárů zámožného byznysmena Brodyho Royala - zakladatele ultra tajné odnože Kukluxklanu zvané Dvojití orli - a doslova o vlásek tak unikli smrti, musí čelit další hrozbě. Ukazuje se totiž, že Brody coby vůdce Dvojitých orlů už dávno skončil a ve skutečnosti tahá za nitky někdo úplně jiný. Někdo mnohem nebezpečnější. Šéf Úřadu pro vyšetřování u louisianské státní policie Forrest Knox. Chce-li Penn zachránit svého otce prchajícího před zkorumpovanými policajty, kteří se ho za každou cenu snaží dostat, nemá příliš na vybranou. Musí s Knoxem buď uzavřít ďábelskou dohodu, nebo ho zničit. Caitlin se mezitím pokouší rozkrýt skutečné pozadí série nevyřešených vražd z doby boje za občanská práva a stopy, které sleduje, ji přitom zavedou až do odlehlého temného močálu - k hrůznému místu, jež už po staletí bylo pro mnohé z těch, kteří se na něm ocitli, tím posledním, co v životě spatřili. K legendami opředenému Stromu kostlivců. (patro.cz)
