Center for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning, Cultural center in Prague, Czech Republic
The Center for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning (CAMP) is a multimedia gallery run by the Prague Institute of Planning and Development, housed in the Pragerovy kostky buildings in Prague 2. Its gallery, a lecture hall seating up to 110 people, a café, a library and a study room host exhibitions, guided CAMP Tours, lectures and film screenings, with free programmes in Czech and English.
CAMP opened on 21 September 2017, though its creation had been planned since the founding of IPR Prague in 2012. The idea came from IPR director Ondřej Boháč, inspired by the Pavillon de l'Arsenal in Paris. About 5,000 people visited in its first month.
CAMP awards the Architect of the Year prize and runs free programmes in Czech and English for children, schools, adults and experts: exhibitions, guided CAMP Tours through architecturally interesting Prague districts, public lectures, debates, workshops and film screenings. Programmes, tours and exhibitions are designed to be accessible to visitors with disabilities.
Most events require advance registration through the GoOut platform, though many activities remain free to attend. The central location in Prague makes the center easy to reach, and visitors should check ahead to see what programs are happening.
CAMP opened on 21 September 2017, and about 5,000 people visited in its first month. Its founding was inspired by the Pavillon de l'Arsenal in Paris, and IPR director Ondřej Boháč pushed the idea. The centre also manages the Praha zítra? web map of Prague building projects, from early proposals to nearly finished schemes.
