The Embassy launched a project entitled "Architecture for Export: the Czech Embassies of the 1960s and 1970s."

Together, we commemorate the 50th anniversary of building our Embassy complex in New Delhi. We are not just stopping there but following the path of the distinctive architectural styles of Czech offices worldwide.
We are delighted that Adam Štěch, also the curator of the exhibitions currently underway in New Delhi, has partnered with our initiative to popularise these buildings. Adam is a personality in his field. He is a historian, curator, journalist and a tireless promoter of architecture across all generations. Thanks to his invaluable insights, we have witnessed an unforgettable experience of gaining knowledge about the design and architecture of the Czech embassies built in these impressive styles.

We started the event by opening the Embassy to architecture students, who had the unique opportunity to join a guided tour of our embassy grounds. We facilitated an hour-and-a-half tour for thirty carefully selected Gateway College of Architecture and Design students. Representatives from local architectural studios also took advantage of the opportunity.

Subsequently, approximately two hundred visitors witnessed an engaging presentation by Adam Štěch, who presented the selected Czech embassies in detail from the perspective of design and architecture and in the historical and political context of their construction. An interactive discussion with Indian architects accompanied the event. The atmosphere was accentuated by a charming exhibition in the garden of our complex, where we presented individual panels of our offices of interest.

But it doesn't end there! On 26 October, we held an opening at the Lokayata Art Gallery, where we moved the entire exhibition. It can be viewed until 29 October and is open to the general Indian public.
