The Langhans Studio and Volman Villa – two buildings that survived nationalisation, temporary use, insensitive renovations and decline into oblivion. Today, they once again serve the public and show how architecture can be revived through culture.

The talk show will feature Zuzana Meisnerová Wismer, a documentary filmmaker and great-granddaughter of the founder of the famous photo studio on Vodičkova Street, who was instrumental in the reconstruction of this space and the establishment of a foundation to preserve its story.

The second chair will be taken by Zuzana Kadlečková, who was there at the birth of a new era for Volman's villa in Čelákovice. What was once a functionalist icon and, until recently, an abandoned and devastated building is now a venue for exhibitions, theatre performances, concerts and breakfasts on the lawn. What other events are they planning? And how did the new Genius Loci platform come about? The guests will discuss these topics with actor and director Ondřej Cihlář.
