His literary works, often focused on existential anxiety, bureaucratic absurdity, and isolation, continue to resonate and influence various fields and figures, not only in culture and art. Kafka passed away on June 3, 1924, at the age of 40. This year marks the 100th anniversary of his death, and the 14th edition of the Architecture Day festival will, for the first time, connect architecture and literature through Kafka&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<p>Both the festival and this year&#8217;s theme are inspired by Kafka&#8217;s creations, especially his famous works such as <em>The Trial<\/em>and <em>The Metamorphosis<\/em>\u2014short yet immensely influential pieces. The subtitle of this year&#8217;s festival, &#8220;The Process of Transformation,&#8221; reflects existential themes linked to the perception of the world.<\/p>\n<p>One of the intriguing events is a guided tour of the Machine Card Catalog of the Czech Social Security Administration, located in a functionalist building in Sm\u00edchov. This nearly 100-year-old unique archival system is operated by a moving lift with a work desk. Visitors can also follow in Franz Kafka&#8217;s footsteps on a guided walk with literary critic and co-author of the books <em>Kafka&#8217;s Alphabet<\/em> and <em>Kafka&#8217;s Prague,<\/em> Radim Kop\u00e1\u010d. Historian Pavla Plach\u00e1 will take you to authentic places connected to Kafka&#8217;s partner, Milena Jesensk\u00e1, a journalist and human rights activist.
