[1] He graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in the Czech Technical University in Prague, then went through an internship at several important studios.

He also worked for a time in Paris with Le Corbusier and devoted most of his professional career to designs for transport, especially railway buildings.

In 1958, in cooperation with Karel Řepa, he designed the Pardubice main railway station (from protected as a monument in 1987), interpreted today as the last wave of pre-war functionalism.

The building was built on the site of the bombed-out original Art Nouveau building as a distinct vertical following the pre-war functionalism influenced by the contemporary Brussels style [cs], inspired by the Expo 58 exhibition in Brussels (two mosaics in the hall by Jaroslav Moravec, stained glass entrance by Zdeněk Holub and a metal sculpture by Jaroslav Šajn on the façade of the building).

The new Chebská nádraží was created, in addition to transport needs, also as a showcase of socialism on our western border, despite this, its top-notch architecture is an ornament and a defining urban element to the present day.
