Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the work of post-war architects in Pilsen – Ing. arch. Zbyněk Tichý and Ing. arch. Miloslav Volráb, whose professional careers are closely linked to the activities of Stavoprojekt in Pilsen. Both authors contributed significantly to the city’s appearance through architectural designs and urban concepts that shaped the face of Pilsen in the second half of the 20th century. Based on an analysis of archival collections, professional literature, contemporary sources, and interviews with eyewitnesses, their work is placed in a broader historical and social context. The text focuses on the key projects of both architects—from urban plans to the construction of residential complexes and public buildings—and traces their influence on the formation of the city’s identity.
