Professor Ján Stempel has become one of the leading respected Czech architects in his 40 years of experience. He gained his first experiences at the legendary SIAL studio and then used these experiences as co-owner of the ADNS office. To attend each project personally and carefully, he left his regular large office and became a teacher at the Faculty of Architecture of CTU in Prague. Here he raised his new partner. A generation younger, his office partner had the opportunity to experience top architecture in the Netherlands while studying at the prestigious University of Delft and a job internship at Jeanne Dekker’s renowned architecture office. During his graduation from the Faculty of Architecture in Prague, he was approached by his professor and the head of his diploma project for cooperation. And here begins the history of the Stempel & Tesař.
