[1] Roubík had returned from a period teaching and working in Oslo, and the couple wanted to establish a school of architecture in the Czech Republic offering a bachelor's degree programme in English.

[3] ARCHIP has moved several times, its first location being the Trade Fair Palace, the largest National Gallery Prague site.

[3] As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, ARCHIP moved again in 2020 to the CIEE building in Štulcova street, within the walls of the historic Vyšehrad fort in the Prague 2 district.

Instruction takes place in Prague and occasionally at architectural projects in other parts of the Czech Republic, such as in the Bohemian towns of Líbeznice and Jenišov (2020)[6] or the Romani Holocaust memorial in Lety (2019).

[7] The school has a small exhibition space and a library, and also hosts lectures from local and international architects in cooperation with the Prague-based Center of Architecture and Town Planning (CAMP).
