The creative group Okolo presents its sixth exhibition cycle at Winternitzova vila, this time dedicated to Japanese architecture of the 1980s.

During that period, Japan had become the world's second-largest economy, and economic prosperity enabled architects to realize bold ideas on a grand scale. The streets of Tokyo, Kyoto, and other cities saw buildings inspired by comics, films, and sci-fi visions - structures resembling giant robots made of polished chrome and concrete, houses assembled like oversized building blocks, or airy constructions shaped like silver clouds, complemented by unique interiors and art nouveau fantasy.

The exhibition was curated by Adam Štěch, a curator, photographer, and architectural historian.
