Reconstruction of municipal libraries – submission of student proposals to municipalities
The Faculty of Architecture BUT continues its successful cooperation with South Moravian municipalities to modernize their libraries. On Tuesday, February 10, 2026 at 10:00, a ceremonial handover of new student designs to representatives of municipalities will take place in the premises of the FA BUT Library at Poříčí 5.
The JMK Municipal Library project has been operating since 2019, when second- to fourth-year students create designs for the transformation of municipal libraries. The designs represent the modernization of libraries and their adaptation to new needs.

Last year, the Library for the 21st Century exhibition was held, which was on display from February 5 to early April. During the ceremonial opening of the exhibition, the projects were also handed over to three selected municipalities: Popůvky, Malhostovice and Hrušky.

From theory to implementation
The recently completed reconstruction of the Loucká branch of the Municipal Library in Znojmo, which was implemented based on the conceptual design of the students of the Faculty of Architecture, BUT, Sára Sochová and Monika Cibulová, proves that student proposals do not remain only on paper.
We wrote about the ceremonial opening of the branch HERE.
