At the beginning of November 2020, professor Vladimír Šlapeta was elected a member of the German Werkbund in Berlin. The Presidency of Werkbund thus appreciated his lifetime achievements in the legacy of the Union of Czechoslovak Works, which was a sister organization of the German Werkbund from 1913 until its abolition in 1948, as well as the processing of the history of the exhibition colony in Baba in 1932.
