Juraj’s presence was valuable for the whole atelier, lead to fruitful discussions and polemics, motivated the others and raised a question if the design curriculum in Czech republic isn’t stuck in its form and content that is no longer relevant to the social and civilization needs of 21st century.

– prof. Marian Karel, head of Design Dpt. at FA CTU

A highly unusual candidate - in a good sense - with a very unique, almost philosophical and insightful, approach to design.

– Slavomíra H., ESET

The entire jury was overwhelmed by the good quality and experimental form of the lighting fixtures. The positive impression of well-executed work boosted the studio’s pleasant exhibit.

– The Architecture Students Association [SPA] at FA CTU

Juraj had a very strong run in the research process, his energetic and proactive approach was inspiring. It all shows in a well executed design outcome.
