THE MOMENTUM OF A DECISION

Obálka knihy The Momentum of Decision

An English–Czech publication by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, released for the XXIV Triennale di Milano of Design and Architecture, explores the theme Inequalities / Nerovnosti through the lens of homelessness. Curators Karolína Kripnerová and Janek Rous view the housing system as a fragile, living organism—failing in metropolises worldwide. They imagine Prague as a laboratory where today’s social “treatments” might begin to heal these ailing cities.

Alongside their essays, the book features literary works by Anki, Klára Vlasáková, Kolektiv Prádelna, Patrik Banga, Maria Siváková, Dana Lišková, Eva Danišová, and Marie Iljašenko, voices that speak from lived experience. Illustrations by Magdalena Rutová and graphic design by Jan Čumlivski complete the edition.
