Max Urban (24 August 1882 – 17 July 1959) was a Czech architect and filmmaker.[1] After studying at the Czech Technical University in Prague he worked as a pioneering filmmaker in the years before the First World War. He collaborated with his wife, the actress Andula Sedláčková, and worked as a screenwriter, cinematographer and film director.[2] After the conflict, and Czechoslovakia's independence from Austria-Hungary, he focused on his architectural career. Amongst his most notable work was the Barrandov Studios in Prague, noted for its modern design. [3] He also designed the Barrandov Terraces complex of buildings.
