Slovak architect Václav Houdek studied at the Czech Technical University in Praha, and produced public works in Slovakia, mostly in Bratislava. His other projects included office buildings, private houses, schools, hospitals, buildings, and tourism places. The work, Plans for the tribune of the Athletic Club “Sparta”, was submitted for the 1936 Berlin Olympics together with Jaroslav Nedvěd and Josef Bauer. The stadium, at that time called Letná Stadium, existed since 1917. In 1934 it was decided to increase the capacity, but in the same year the wooden grandstand burned down. In 1937 a new grandstand made of reinforced concrete was completed by architect Václav Slavík. It can be assumed that the submitted design by Bauer, Houdek and Nedvěd was an unexecuted design for a competition.
