28th Vis Moot Team

Academic year 2020/21

Team members

All photos were shot at Villa Tugendhat (Brno), a functionalist jewel designed by an architecht Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and built in 19291930. It is a part of the Czech UNESCO heritage and we had an extraordinary opportunity to do a photoshooting there. As a background for the photos, we have chosen the famous onyx wall built using minerals from Marocco.
