In the ongoing Vector of Poverty lecture series, a number of experts and practitioners from various fields will present at the FA. Recordings of the lectures by philosopher Václav Bělohradský, journalist and sociologist Stanislav Biler, architect Klára Salzmann and housing policy expert Jan Milota can be found on our YouTube channel.
We will regularly inform you about other upcoming programmes on our website, Facebook and Instagram. Currently, we cordially invite you to lecture by Michal V. Marek, which will take place on 11 April at 18:00 at the Faculty of Architecture of the BUT.
The global context underlying the project is defined by the global pandemic COVID-19, the war conflict unleashed by Russia in Ukraine, the refugee and energy crises, and last but not least climate change. All this is changing our behaviour patterns, but also our view of the future. The assumption of infinite prosperity has been replaced by the fear that our resources are limited and the knowledge that we have to cut back. Added to this are the unaddressed pains that the Czech Republic is facing: housing affordability, qualitatively divided education system, neglected transport infrastructure, energy stability or the neglect of "old industry" areas and the emergence of inner peripheries.
Because of the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the topic, the Faculty of Architecture has invited other universities and institutions to collaborate on the "Poverty Vector" project. The project involves the Faculty of Social Studies and the Faculty of Law of Masaryk University, the Institute of Sociology of the CAS, the Institute of Global Change Research of the CAS, the ARCHIP Prague School of Architecture and the prestigious international school AA School in London.
The faculty has also established an intensive cooperation with the Brno women's educational association Vesna, to whose premises on Údolní Street one of the school's studies dealing with the situation of Ukrainian families and socially excluded people has been moved.Are you interested in what has been created so far within the Vector of Poverty? You can see the projects of the individual studios involved in the research theme here.

Poverty Vector: research, lectures and workshops
In 2023, the Faculty of Architecture launched a multi-year project, Poverty Vector, in which students and faculty explore how architecture can respond to the socio-economic challenges of our time. In what ways can we approach creating affordable or community housing, strategic urbanism, education, exploring the legal system, or analyzing how poverty is perceived in our society? The project will also address these questions through public programs such as lectures, discussions, and workshops.In the ongoing Vector of Poverty lecture series, a number of experts and practitioners from various fields will present at the FA. Recordings of the lectures by philosopher Václav Bělohradský, journalist and sociologist Stanislav Biler, architect Klára Salzmann and housing policy expert Jan Milota can be found on our YouTube channel.
