The first comprehensive book on business in architecture on the Czech market is being published.
The publishing house ARCHIZOOM BOOKS is publishing the unique publication Architekt v praxi, which for the first time on the Czech market comprehensively maps all aspects of the successful operation of an architectural office. The book was prepared by architect Evžen Dub and publicist Radek Váňa, authors with more than twenty years of experience in the field.

The publication Architekt v praxi presents the first comprehensive overview of everything that the work of an architect on the Czech market entails. The authors, with detailed knowledge of the environment, describe the practical aspects and professional skills that a successful architect must master – from establishing an office through day-to-day management to marketing and communication with clients.
„For a long time, we have felt the absence of a quality practical guide for architects that would cover all areas of business in this profession. Our book aims to fill this gap and provide colleagues with concrete tools for successful operation,” says co-author Radek Váňa.
Book contents
The 168-page book covers key areas:
• The profession and job description of an architect, education and qualifications
• Establishing and running an architectural office
• Business plan, administration and use of technologies
• Financial management and proper project management
• Communication with clients and coordination with other professions
• Marketing and PR in architecture
Architekt v praxi
The book is followed by the online platform Architekt v praxi (www.architektvpraxi.cz), which will offer a podcast of the same name with Czech architects, discussion forums and webinars. The academy will become a networking platform with industry content and access to professional tools.
„The online academy will enable continuous education and connection of experts from all over the Czech Republic. We want to create an active community that will share experience and address the current challenges of the profession,” adds architect Evžen Dub. The book will be launched on 8 September 2025 in Prague, and together with it the second, revised edition of the book Marketing a PR v architektuře, prepared two years ago by Radek Váňa, will also be published.
