The guarantor and implementer of CAMP is the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR Prague), established by the Prague City Council to coordinate architecture, urban planning, development, and management activities for the city.
CAMP
In September 2017, IPR Prague opened the Center for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning (CAMP). This information center includes an exhibition hall with unique, large-screen projection facilities, a study room, a cafe, an outdoor terrace, and an indoor amphitheater.
CAMP's rich program includes exhibitions, public debates, appearances by local and foreign experts, workshops, screenings and other activities. CAMP's main mission is to improve public debate on the development of Prague. CAMP is not only intended to serve architects, designers and investors, but also city districts, NGOs, and the population as a whole, with the goal of serving as a primary source of clear and accessible information on the city’s present and future form.
You can access CAMP's website here.
CAMP shares the same address as IPR Prague, in the centre of the city, near Charles Square, within sight of the Emmaus Monastery. These modernistic buildings from the end of the 1960s were designed by the renowned 20th century Czech architect, Karel Prager. Prager is also the author of the Nová scéna building of the National Theatre, and the former Federal Assembly building – currently part of the National Museum.
