The Third Edition of Rohan Design District Begins Today
The third edition of Rohan Design District begins today, transforming Karlín and the Rohanské Embankment into a vibrant platform for architecture, design, art and urban development from 11 to 13 June. Visitors can look forward to three days of guided tours, lectures, exhibitions, installations and meetings with leading figures from the field.
This year’s festival is the largest edition to date. Dozens of showrooms, galleries, architectural studios, developers and cultural institutions have joined the programme. Over the course of three days, more than 60 events will take place, offering a unique opportunity to explore places that are not normally open to the public and discover projects shaping the future of Prague.
Visitors can enjoy guided tours of significant buildings and architectural studios, contemporary art and design exhibitions, as well as a rich programme hosted by leading showrooms and brands. The festival also features discussions and lectures focused on current topics in architecture, urbanism and design.
One of the highlights of this year’s edition is an outdoor exhibition presenting a selection of 35 projects from the Czech Architecture Yearbook 2024–2025. Located at the entrance to the HolKa footbridge, the exhibition offers a cross section of some of the most remarkable Czech architectural works of recent years and will remain on view after the festival concludes.
The programme also includes the exhibition Winter Games of Images II, which brings together the worlds of sport and contemporary art. Presented at Nile House, the exhibition features works by Czech artists inspired by winter sports, movement, competition and the Olympic Games. Developed in collaboration with Sport in Art, the project follows a successful presentation in Milan.
On Saturday, Spojka Events will host a series of inspiring lectures and discussions. Topics will include the future of educational buildings, brownfield redevelopment, the Vltava Philharmonic Hall, data in architecture and contemporary Czech design. Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore a model of the future Vltava Philharmonic Hall and experience the project through virtual reality.
Admission to the festival is free of charge. Due to limited capacity, advance registration is required for selected events.
