A Slovak who ranked among the top domestic architects in the masculine world of socialist Stavoprojekt, the centrally managed design organisation. Her main body of work dates to the pre-revolution period of Czechoslovak architecture. In the second half of the 1980s and in the era of newly acquired freedom, her work was focused more on intimate formats of family houses, interior creations, bookbinding and jewellery. During the normalisation period, her cooperation with projects of the VAL artistic group brought her extraordinary foreign acclaim. With the artist Alex Mlynárčik and the architect Ľudovít Kupkovič, she elaborated the concept of visionary (prospective) architecture responding both to the political situation and to questions of emerging ecological strategies.
