Bohuslav Fuchs was born on March 24, 1895 in Všechovice. He was a student and collaborator of Jan Kotěra and gradually became one of the most important creators of modern Czech architecture. About 150 of his works can be found not only in Brno, where the famous architect lived, but also throughout Moravia. A number of competition designs were also dedicated to Prague.

Fuchs was also a member of the Group of Fine Artists in Brno and the Block of Fine Artists of the Moravia-Silesia. In 1932 he founded the family company AKA, a company for the production of home accessories and art objects. He also worked as a professor.
