/ Josef Pleskot: Cities / 2022
Museum Kampa 5/11 2022 – 12/2 2023
The exhibition Josef
Pleskot: Cities focuses on three specific urban settlements
where architect Josef Pleskot has completed the most
projects: Ostrava-Vítkovice, Litomyšl, and Prague. The four halls of
the Kampa Museum, however, present more than merely individual buildings
and projects; the exhibition seeks to convey Pleskot’s approach to
architecture and the work of his studio in a broader, more general context
and to contribute to addressing the issue of the social role of
architecture.
The project includes a
rich accompanying program, a debate meeting with Josef Pleskot, and many other
stimulating guests. In this respect, the exhibition is not intended to be just
a balanced retrospective but also an experimental search for the key questions
and challenges of today which are by no means limited to architecture.

A pair of halls, the so-called Veronikárny, were intended for demolition. The Dolnovítkovice park was to be expanded in their place. A group of enthusiasts for the construction of the Agricultural Museum in Ostrava convinced me and Mr. Jan Světlík that this is a good idea and that it will be worth preserving the halls.
On January 23. 2016 I drew the first idealized idea with a third hall levitating in the air. Enthusiasts liked it. The design was entrusted to Ing. Milan Šraml from the Vítkovice design group. Then I created several sketches, according to which the project and implementation were created. Milan Šraml has done so much work that he is definitely a co-author. However, there was little money for implementation, so there can be no question of perfection of execution. It was saved everywhere. Nevertheless, the result is nice, it is very close to rough sketches.

/ Rony Plesl Loft / 2019
in collaboration with Michaela Košařová and Michaela Zucconi
photo: Tomáš Mach
There are 2 studios in Šaldova Street, one of them belongs to Rony Plesl, the other to architect Vladan Běhal. Rony was his small one and Vladan his big one.
The original architect's studio with the showroom was rebuilt into a studio for designer and artist Rony Plesl.
The fundamental change of space lies in the vigorous installation and the decision to place it in the center of the layout. The construction is consistent from floor to ceiling. It is a strange hybrid - a machine that hides cavities, cut-outs, openings, and absorbs technical functions. The doubling of the columns caused structural chaos and brought anxiety into the interior. All building surfaces were unified. The original brick vaults are now abstract white, as are the walls (new and original). A perfect neutral background for artwork was achieved. Interesting is the floor, which has long been debated, the result is due to controlled chance. A layer of cheap, much diluted paint with a pinch of green was poured onto the existing concrete floor. After drying, the expected effect of a marble surface was created. A bonus of the interior is the enclosed balcony, which overlooks the courtyard, but there is no access to free space. However, as the enclosed balcony is on the ground, it was possible to incorporate naturally growing greenery directly into it. It created a green oasis. On the enclosed balcony there is a small outdoor kitchen. Sitting at a cedar table, which was used from Rony's previous studio. It was dimensioned and attached to the supporting columns of the facade. The space of the studio serves as a gallery where Rony Plesl exhibits not only his works but also the work of his colleagues - related artists. Rony has her intimate office upstairs. On the ground floor there is space for his co-workers. The studio and warehouse are located in the interior of the building.

/ Old Masters in the Schwarzenberg palace / 2019
collaboration with Norbert Schmidt and Eva Vopátková
Curator: Marius Winzeler (National Gallery Prague)
Schwarzenberg palace, Prague Castle
National Gallery Prague
The permanent exhibition Old Masters in the Schwarzenberg Palace presents selected key artworks from the Collection of Old Masters (Hans von Aachen, Petr Brandl,
Matthias Bernard Braun, Lucas Cranach, Adriaen de Vries, Albrecht
Dürer, El Greco, Francisco José Goya, Hans Holbein, Jan Gossaert, also
known as Jan Mabuse, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jusepe de Ribera, Peter Paul
Rubens, Bartholomaeus Spranger, Karel Škréta, Simon Vouet, Michael
Leopold Willmann and others).
The display
concentrates on the period between the 16th and 18th centuries and
the pre-Renaissance tendencies in Gothic and Antiquity art as
inspirational stimuli for Renaissance and Baroque art. The exhibition is
conceived as a dialogue of the national and international impulses,
influences and changes in the spirit of the dialectic of forms, styles
and motifs.
The original
entrance to the Schwarzenberg Palace from Hradčanské Square via
the courtyard is restored.

/ The Church of the Sacred Heart of the Lord - New adaptation of the liturgical space / 2018
Collaboration with Norbert Schmidt
The altar
canteen is derived from a basic geometric shape - a compressed half-shell.
Perhaps
can evoke a cup, a cup or a well, a drop, or even an abstracted heart. The
pressed half is fitted with a stainless steel spindle, giving the impression of
levitation, while serving as a sepulchrum - the relic shelter. The curved shape
of the canteen provides a certain extraordinary character to the new liturgical
site, but at the same time it finds its reflection in the original central
circular luminaire as well as in the semicircular section of the crypt. The
process cross is mounted in the hole in the right front corner of the stage. A
portable altar candle stands in its left front corner.
The stadium and the new altar canteen are made of Cara marble. The stone
underlines the permanence of the liturgical site and its correspondence and
equivalence with the existing main features of Plečnik's liturgical landscape -
with the ambones and the old main altar and the sanctuary, which we retain its
function. All new seats for celebrities and ministers are inside the original
presbytery. Sedes of the main celebrant is no longer on the top of the old
altar where the position collided with the tabernacle. It is newly placed on a
small wooden staircase with a height of two steps. It is attached to the
staircase of the main altar. It is located outside the main axis of the entire
composition. Sedes is designed as a modern stainless steel towel, supplemented
with natural cowhide leather that forms its seat and backrest.

/ Dominican Monastery Prague - New Entrance / 2018
Collaboration with Norbert Schmidt, Jiří Trčka, David Ambros and Michaela Zucconi
In 2018, the first major phase of the revitalization of the whole building was completed, giving the monastery a new entrance, a new fort and a new vertical communication, thus opening the monastery to the public space of the city, while consolidating its inner bonds according to the current needs of use. The construction of the new communication node has also been made accessible by the baroque refectory, which has been used for several years as a cultural education platform Dominican 8. The new entrance along with the staircase, the elevator and the part of the corridors are characterized by the richness of the shapes that organically develop the original Baroque substance. It is supported by the modesty of materials and colors and further enhanced by light.
