Radmila Fingerová Passes Away

"Modest, kind, and smiling, she will no longer brighten our earthly days with her energy. Radmila joined the faculty with a desire to teach landscape architecture to architects; she was there at the birth of this field and contributed to its public awareness and emancipation. Over the years, she influenced the attitudes of many architects, not just the young ones. She led her studios with generosity, perspective, and an emphasis on process and connection to practice. She guided students joyfully, with confidence in their abilities and independence, motivating them to pursue self-study and broaden their horizons. She believed in the power of the younger generation and their ability to change the world for the better. Always willing, approachable, and helpful—not only to students but also to colleagues. She did everything with pure motivation and a love for people and the craft; she did not pursue personal goals but sought to be a supporter and guide to others. A beautiful human being. We will miss her. However, as a patron of landscape architecture, she will continue to accompany us. Instead of mourning, Radmila would surely have wished for us to do a good deed or plant a tree," recalls her longtime colleague Hana Špalková.
