Ireland: Road trip through the land of myths and legends

There's something about Ireland in summer, which, more than simply traveling over land, is like traveling while lost in a dream. The days melt into one and extend through green meadows and low stone walls, light reflects from silver-blue tones of the ocean, the tales rise from beneath castles and castle ruins and from the fog above the peat bogs. Would you too like to lose yourself for a while on the Emerald Island? Just get a plane ticket to Dublin, rent a car and let your sheer will lead the way.

Savarin Reanimated

The revitalization of Savarin Palace represents one of the most ambitious development projects in the historical center of Prague. Combining sensitive reconstruction with the visionary approach of world architectural stars, including Jakub Cigler, Eva Jiřičná and Thomas Heatherwick, creates a unique space that connects the past with the future.

Creativity that helps

Marketing campaigns don't just have to be about selling – they can also open up important social topics and even change the law.

And what personalities get involved in these projects? In an interview with Nikola Foktová, Creative Director Leo Burnett Prague & MSL Czech Republic (Publicis Groupe from DOCK IN FOUR), you will learn what is behind campaigns that resonate with the public and politicians, how the creative process takes place in the agency environment, and why it is important to look for the right timing and partners.

What it is like to run in the Paralympic Games

You may eventually meet Tereza Jakschová at DOCK IN FOUR, where, by day, she works as a PPC Team Leader at Publicis Groupe. Around four o’clock, however, she leaves the computer screen behind to make it on time to the athletics stadium for training. And not just any training – her lifelong passion in the form of overcoming her own obstacles through sprinting has earned her two consecutive spots to participate in the Paralympic Games. Tereza told us about these experiences in an exclusive interview.

Four Seasons in Georgia

Recently, Georgia has enjoyed growing interest among tourists from Europe and beyond. What’s so appealing about it? Squeezed between the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, bordered on one side by the Black Sea and on the other by a desert, this small country is a fine-tuned cocktail of Asian exoticism, wild and harsh nature and pro-European-minded inhabitants whom you will long remember thanks to their distinctive nature.

Between heaven and earth, between body and soul

Are our body and our mind interconnected? Does psychosomatic medicine work? How to approach the dream state of ideal bliss, and what does a sore back have in common with the fact that we are internally dissatisfied with our own decisions? I discussed all this just before the summer vacation with renowned physiotherapist Dr. Tomáš Rychnovský, Ph.D., whose motto is “I treat so that nothing hurts you.” And really…he doesn’t mean just physically…

About Comets, the Universe, and Everything

Have you ever wondered how many stars there are in the universe? If the universe can influence our lives and how, or whether someone is watching us from it? Petr Michalík, a programmer by trade and astronomer by heart and soul, certainly has. We interrupted his work for a while on the latest technological innovations in Česká spořitelna and BankID, which he even founded, and which is based at DOCK IN TWO, and discussed with him what it was like to look at the sky and see miracles.

ESG known and unknown

In order for generations of our descendants to enjoy this blue planet, we should treat it responsibly. Avoiding use of plastic bags, sorting waste and conserving water – we can already do all that. But what about the big buildings around us, the places where we live and work? What are they made of and how does their construction and maintenance affect life on Earth? And how do companies that own or operate them feel about all this? I discussed these points and more with Iveta Králová, Architectural Project Manager/Chairman of CZGBC at SAINT-GOBAIN CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS CZ a.s., a leader in modern and sustainable construction headquarted in DOCK IN TWO.

Lofoten Islands: Life beyond the Arctic Circle

Picturesque fishing villages, crystal clear water, majestic mountains, auroras, midnight sun, fresh air and the most beautiful landscape you can imagine. This is how we would describe the winter paradise in the Lofoten archipelago, which we can call home.

On a visit to the Pod Palmovkou Theatre: Interview with Jakub Albrecht

The Pod Palmovkou Theatre [Theatre below Palmolvka] is literally around the corner from Dock, so it’s no wonder that we consider it to be – a bit lovingly – “ours”. We share with you regular information about its news or competitions for tickets, and constantly try to expand our cooperation. Those of you who have already visited it know that performances, whether they are unconventionally elaborated classics or generational modernity, are always worth experiencing. And those who have not yet had the honor may be persuaded by an invitation from one of the most competent actors of this renowned theater, Jakub Albrecht.
