Lenka was born and raised in Prague and studied art history in the Faculty of Arts at Charles University. History and theory of architecture became her major specialization, and she was a co-author of an exhibition project mapping attempts to realize the idea of collective living in Czechoslovakia through 20th century. As a part of her PhD research, she stayed more than a year in Sao Paulo, Brazil, working with local architects. The city of Prague fascinates Lenka for the tangibility of its history sedimentated in buildings of all epochs and for the rich culture which has been taking place within its walls.
