OUR STORY

Charity Calendar

The Story 

The Dead Architects Calendar was created out of the author’s desire to honour the achievements of deceased architects. However, following a life-changing experience – a severe heart attack on 16 May 2021, which required resuscitation and was followed by a lengthy recovery – the author decided to transform the calendar into a charitable project.

The Dead Architects Calendar is therefore dedicated to young patients in the paediatric cardiology unit at the University Hospital of Würzburg. Proceeds from the sales of this charitable project will go towards purchasing comforting items like soft toys and colouring books, crafted by artists and artisans, to bring comfort and joy to children facing extended hospital stays.

Thank you, artist & illustrator Dave Garbot, for making the fabulous front and back cover drawings and being part of this good will mission!
