The Vienna Architecture Summer School (VAS²) will feature a public panel discussion about architecture & practice, hosting Daniela Mehlich (DMtk), Jakob Sellaoui (Studio Jakob Sellaoui) and Michal  Janak (PLURAL).


Michal Janák (1987) is an architect at PLURAL (Bratislava, Slovakia). PLURAL proposes architecture with special emphasis on its social and cultural relevance. The office, established in 2009, is led by two partners: Martin Jančok and Michal Janák. Wide scope of the studio's work ranges from exhibitions, through housing, buildings for culture, transformation and restoration of architectural heritage, public spaces, up to large scale city planning.

DMtk is an architecture practice led by Daniela Mehlich and Teresa Klestorfer. The duo has been working together since 2017 – sometimes more intense, sometimes less, entering into collaborations with others and focusing primarily on renovations and small construction projects, as well as exhibitions and competitions in the public and cultural sectors.

Jakob Sellaoui is a US-born architect of Austrian and Algerian heritage who founded Studio Jakob Sellaoui in 2020. Within his practice the notion of collapse and crisis are reframed as opportunities for adaptation and change. The work explores the resulting spatial and material potentials he calls “Good-Enough Architecture”. Up to date the studio has realized projects in several scales and locations ranging from Nicaragua, Portugal, Austria, and the US.
