The third and final installment of a lecture series featuring architect Filip Ditrich, until recently the chief architect of Prague’s cemeteries and a longtime advocate for this topic.

The evening will focus primarily on recently built ceremonial halls and projects currently in the planning stages—places where visitors’ emotional states intersect with high-quality architecture.

We will also discuss crematoriums and the associated culture of cremation in the Czech lands from the early 20th century to the present. We will also touch on similar unusual structures located not far from our homeland.
