Petra graduated from architecture at UMPRUM in Prague and now works as a freelance architect. Her work consists primarily of school renovations and transformations, but her interest is shifting to cultural and community projects. Petra enjoys exploring the liminal space between the rational and the unfathomable and tries to use this duality in architecture – and keep it present in everyday life. She believes that art is an indispensable part of our lives; apart from arts, her daily inspirations come through aikido, yoga, meditation, and, if time allows, mountain hikes. Petra is currently moving to a 200-year-old house in the forests of the Eagle Mountains in Eastern Bohemia to explore a different approach to engaging with nature and find a new meaning of having a Home, in sync with our session topic. In addition to architecture and philosophy, Petra will dedicate her time there to permaculture gardening and expanding her flock of parrots.
