Throwback to an inspiring 3-day field trip to Olomouc in October with the Fall semester Sustainable Architecture and Urbanism class led by instructor Petra Kadlecová!

Students explored the beautiful city, then ventured to Horka nad Moravou to check out Slunakov, a low-energy center for schools and families. Afterward, they headed to Rožnov pod Radhoštěm to discover the Wallachian open-air museum with traditional wooden houses.

On the last day, students visited a scenic bike route featuring a stunning new bridge over the Bečva River and the Helfštýn Castle!

The trip let students immerse themselves in Moravian culture and experience the beauty of the Czech Republic beyond Prague. 🇨🇿
