/ Villa Dykova 14 / 2023

AP Atelier, Josef Pleskot, Petr Sýkora, Miloš Linhart, zahrada Zdeněk Sendler

It happens that the house has an indefinable trauma trapped inside it, which impresses you at the very first contact with it. It's as if the walls have a memory and hold a secret. When, after much thought, I decided to deal with the house in Dykova Street, I resolved to try to banish the longing from its walls. The new owner became my ally in this effort. The light let into the house did its work. It rent the veil of darkness. To confirm that the house was no longer a prisoner of gloomy moods, we decided that the windows on the ground floor would not be covered; anyone passing by on the street would catch a glimpse of the artistically painted ceilings. The house opened up and gave up its secret to the street, entering the public space. I think this decision liberated it, it started to radiate joy. The sensitively designed garden only enhances everything.

/ Fragments of memory The Treasure of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague in Dialogue with Edmund de Waal, Josef Koudelka and Julian Rosefeldt / 2024

Kunsthalle im Lipsiusbau, Georg-Treu-Platz 1, 01067 Dresden, Germany, 16.3.2024 - 8.9.2024, AP Atelier, Josef Pleskot, collaboration Norbert Schmidt, Petr Sýkora

It can be complementary!
The exhibition space in Lipsiusbau is remarkable!
What makes it remarkable?
I'm going through it, exploring it, we're at the beginning of the work. Soon, the feeling that it is a rare space that raises its head, that makes you raise your head, begins to prevail in me. I obey and raise it. It occurs to me that I need to understand its cross-section - the cross-section. I study the section and perceive that the space is composed of heavy architectural elements - authentic old fragments and recently added new elements. But what connects them, what is their bond? I sense the pulsating space like a breath when reading a well-structured text. Heavy passages are difficult to read with long concentrated breaths. Gradually, though, the possibility of a light, relieved exhale comes. During this, stars of hope pop up before the eyes and bubbles of oxygen refresh the brain.
The space of Lipsiusbau is an artfully composed text.
It is to be the setting for the exhibition Fragments of Memory. The dominant exhibit is the treasure of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague - a collection of precious artifacts that were collected and pieced together from scraps of history with the desire to preserve memory, to develop it, to build on it. To bear witness, to write a text about it.
There is a conviction that it can be done, that it is suitable, that such an exhibition can be of great importance here. There is even an exclamation: it can be complementary!
We will put the St. Vitus Treasure - a collection of hundreds of memory fragments - in a monumental cabinet and use it as another element to make the architectural space of the Lipsiusbau more compact.

It offers to make the complementary even more complementary.

The works of Edmund de Waal, Josef Koudelka and Julian Rosenfeld reflect on the theme of memory, explore memory, strengthen it, enrich it, continue to write it - they are to be part of the exhibition. They can add value to the testimony of an abiding interest in the essential. They can expand the text. The point will be to engage them in the rhythm of the reading.

And the library? A library holds thousands of texts, thousands of fragments of memory. Building it as part of the exhibition seems necessary. The literalness of the text need not be a bad thing.

This is the architecture of Fragments of Memory.

/ Steel footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists over the Ostravice River and the railway corridor in Ostrava / 2023

Collaboration with David Ambrose, Zdeněk Rudolf Steel structures Vladimír Janata (EXCON), concrete structures Petr Nehasil (Mott MacDonald)

A symmetrically suspended footbridge made of one massive pylon with two arms bridges the Ostravice River and the railway corridor. It connects the city of Ostrava with Dolní Vítkovice. Its strategic position significantly strengthens Ostrava's road network. The length of the supporting structure is 160.5 m. The footbridge crossing provides magnificent views of the industrial architecture - Ostrava Hradčany.

/ St. Peter and Paul steel footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists over the Berounka River in Radotín / 2023

Collaboration with David Ambrose, Zdeněk Rudolf steel structures Vladimír Janata (EXCON), concrete structures Michal Drahorád (Mott MacDonald)

A footbridge suspended from one asymmetrical pylon spans the Berounka River and connects the town of Radotín with Zbraslav and Lipenci. The length of the supporting structure is about 110 m. It replaces the footbridge from 1995 designed by AP Atelier and the static office Křístek, Trčka a spol., which was damaged by the flood in 2002.

/ The footbridge in Mladá Boleslav / 2023

Cooperation with David Ambrose, Zdeněk Rudolf steel structures Vladimír Janata (EXCON), concrete structures Petr Nehasil (Mott MacDonald)

The arched footbridge spanning the Jizera River and the cycling paths connected to it give the town new links. They connect the city with the supra-regional Greenway Jizera cycle route, bringing residents to the river and also serving as a safe access for the Škodovka workers to the U Česany area from the north. The new bridge is adjacent to existing structures on both banks. From the city it connects to the old landscape avenue and creates a stone amphitheatre overlooking the city. The total length of the steel structure is nearly 93m.

/ Hotel VP1 art / 2024

team: Ing.arch. Josef Pleskot, Ing. arch. Michaela Košařová, Zdeněk Rudolf

The buildings in question are located on Místecká Street, opposite the VP1 hotel. The existing buildings were used as a health centre and as offices for the Lower Vítkovice area. The absence of a full-day catering service for the VP1 hotel was the impetus to offer hotel guests a full restaurant service, not just breakfast as in previous years. The houses, placed in an "L" shaped plan, form a courtyard together with the enclosure wall (at Místecká Street), which houses the new restaurant extension, operating year-round as well as seasonally as a garden restaurant. The fence wall is preserved. The yard is built up only with supporting struts that carry the distribution pipes over the property. The style of the proposed extension refers to industrial buildings.


The hotel has a total capacity of 23 rooms. Of these, 6 apartments, 6 studios and 11 rooms and the interior restaurant space can accommodate up to 70 people.

/ Jitka Svobodová: Beyond the seen / 2023

https://www.ghmp.cz/vystavy/jitka-svobodova-za-hranou-videneho/ 2023 – 14. 4. - 20. 8. 2023 Kurátorka: Helena Musilová Autoři: Josef Pleskot, Michaela Košařová

Jitka Svobodová's works cannot be framed
Jitka Svobodová carefully chooses the format for her works. Its size and aspect ratio obviously play an important role. Each one is always carefully treated, whether by drawing or painting, right down to the very edge. The method of covering the entire format does not give the framer any possibility of overlapping it by even one millimeter of the frame. But not only that. The theme of the painting and the use of a real picture surface do not even allow for demarcation using moldings, mounts, free edges... If this were to happen, there would be a certain constriction of the work, which the author may not consciously, perhaps intuitively, anticipate. In order for Jitka Svobodová's paintings not to lose the important spatial overlaps that characterize them, it is simply not possible to frame them. Freedom's concept of image space is not limited by the format, but the frame would be.
The way in which Jitka Svobodová processes her themes is not centripetal. The plot of the picture is not concentrated in its epicenter, but almost absolutely outside it. Understanding is good to look for in all directions. The image itself, as a tangible artifact, captures an instructive slice of reality, which is part of an incomprehensibly boundless space. I believe that this is the great, unrepeatable and phenomenal thing about Jitka Svobodová's work.
Paintings and drawings also require a special placement on the walls that define the architectural space. They can be placed on white walls, but these degrade their visual light. They are fully effective when installed on banal gray, then they shine like pearls, they become windows (views) into the cosmos of weightless mysterious phenomena of things, into the space of the world, which is more unknown than known. The windows can be of different heights, because Jitka Svobodová's paintings have the ability to show us a scale that is different from the so-called "human" one. They allow us to experience real-world transformation that is educational and uplifting.

/ 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.

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.

Holešovice courtyard
"A little island - an oasis at the end of the slaughterhouse by the siding, which everyone will be happy to inhabit."
Butchers, pastry chefs, pizza bakers, wine makers, all their guests and visitors,
but maybe even the vets upstairs. A little island with two houses and a yard between
where every window looks out on a menu of irresistible delicacies prepared
lovingly made by people who make them with artisanal confidence and exemplary
skill and who enjoy it. Hence lots of windows, shop windows, vistas and views. Nothing
is hidden, nothing is taboo. Everything inside serves a good purpose, there is nothing
to hide and nothing to be ashamed of. The customer must feel that he is not a nuisance and the seller
must have the pride of a good host.
The two tiny houses of the former Holešovice slaughterhouse have long since merged. It has become
...but out of some kind of compulsion, involuntarily, unnaturally. They were only joined together structurally.
After the demolition of the internal semi-provisional annexes, each house
regained its autonomy. They stand on their own, but the alley with the courtyard between them
more connected than before. People can enter the alley and the courtyard,
stand inside and feel their protection. The key to that secure connection
is a large tree. A big tree in a small backyard. Preferably a plane tree to give light
shade, not the dark black shade of the lime tree in the village square. Under a plane tree in the city, you can see
...is good. That's what they know in England and France, and it used to be known here. Under the plane tree
...water, a fountain, a tub. Sure, a tub, that's enough. The slaughterhouse in Holešovice must be rebuilt
...a tub.

A všechno zprůchodnit, aby každý našel do dvorečku, pod platan, ke kádi s vodou
cestu. Aby si tam mohl vychutnat klobásu, dortík, zmrzlinu, piczu, sklenku
vína…
Co sledujeme? Jenom radost, nic víc. Veřejná toaleta snad bude blízko.:)

/ Bernard drive Humpolec - shop and parking P&P / 2022

collaboration: eng.arch. Michaela Košařová

BERNARD BREWERY VISITOR FACILITIES

BUILDING IN THE MEADOW BEHIND HUMPOLEC WITH THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF COURTESY AND UNDERSTANDING.

The zoning plan establishes a land use rate corrective, this is in the nature of a social agreement and must be adhered to. The investor bought the land with this corrective in order to implement a programme for the good running of the business and for the convenience of the customers. It is the duty of the design to accommodate both as best as possible.

The Bernard Brewery is situated in the centre of Humpolec. It is situated on a relatively small plot of land, so its development is very limited. Out of necessity, it arranges its operations vertically with great technological creativity, growing in height. It has already pushed some, especially the dispatch operations, to the outskirts of the city and is continuing this trend to eliminate traffic congestion within the city. Downtown, it lacks parking and staging areas for visitor cars as well as business and supply vehicles. It also lacks a high-capacity company store with a good (tight) link to car traffic. For all this, the land with plot number 1906, which is very well situated in relation to the brewery and on which its deficit programme can be implemented, is an excellent place to do so.

It's going to be built on it:
A company shop with accessories with a total usable area of 547m2, parking for 41 cars for visitors, a service edge of the company shop for 5 cars, a supply ramp for 3 to 4 vans, 2 parking spaces for trucks, 2 parking spaces for buses, and a visitor's residential garden with an area of 1668 m2. The entire site is clearly divided into a yard for the predominant economic - supply operation and a yard with visitor parking, with the dividing line between the yards being an elongated company shop building of one underground and two above-ground floors. The residential garden is logically connected to the visitors' yard.
    
 
As part of the extension and revitalisation of the brewery, a large hanging roof garden will be created above the roofs, at a height of about 12m from the ground, in the middle of the town. It will serve the visitor centre and the people of Humpole. The magnificent garden above the brewery will become a symbol of responsible ecological behaviour of the operator of a food processing plant historically located in the very centre of the town with the ambition to be one of its eye-catching symbols. The construction of an outlying visitor facility on a green field - on the edge of the city - will create an important complementary part of the brewery at a distance of 600m.

The idea is:
Visitors park on the outskirts and are taken to the city centre by the company's public transport (or walk with a guide). The two complementary parts of the brewery will merge into one experience, as the architecture of the visitor's foreground will be in keeping with a design that has many of the attributes of ecologically shaped buildings, and which will also be used extensively in the design of the hanging brewery gardens. Massively developed climbing greenery on special structures will be the common denominator of both complementary parts of the Bernard Brewery.

/ Bernard Brewery Gardens / 2021

cooperation: Ing.arch. Michaela Košařová, Ing. arch. Veronika Škardová

The hanging garden of Semiramidina, the fairy garden of Jiří Trnka, the post-prison brewery garden... Beautiful comparisons, but in sum it can be the hanging fairy garden of the Bernard brewery in Humpolec.

 The history of construction has known how to make large cellars, which we still marvel at today, since time immemorial. The creation of terraces and even gardens above residential and representative halls is also known to history, but it was not and still is not a commonplace phenomenon. It is only in the twentieth century that the idea of roof gardens has been toyed with in all its sensuality. And its end, and our present, attempts a complete ecological orgy.

We can insulate roofs well. We have developed vegetative layers, we retain rainwater and can water well with clever irrigation systems, we have devised biosystems that are very supportive and beautiful, and we have bred plant species that are well suited to roof gardens. We know how to work with all vegetative levels - even large trees can grow naturally on rooftops. Vegetation becomes a legitimate building material from which we can create not only horizontal but also vertical façade gardens.

The Bernard brewery in Humpolec is situated on a small area in the middle of the town. It is very successful and therefore needs to expand its cellars.  Since it no longer has space underground, it is building them above ground as technology halls. Logically without windows and with pragmatic, well-insulated roofs. It's not, and it can't be very nice. The thought flashes through my mind: after all, cellars belong underground! Well, yes! The hanging fairy-tale Bernard Brewery Garden is in the world. And the cellars are underneath. The newly conceived lager cellar with its concrete structure will become the pilot garden platform, on which the gardens built over the existing roofs will be linked by a modular system of steel elements. Virtually the entire floor plan of the brewery will eventually be structurally covered by a system of hanging gardens, which will be accessed from the premises of the visitor centre under construction. A great added value, a great step towards ecology, a great step towards visitors and citizens of Humpole. A garden above Humpolec. A place for sightseeing and a pleasant stay, and wheelchair-accessible access from the street!


/ MUSEum+ Furnaces VP4, VP6 in the Lower Vítkovice area / 2024

team: Ing.arch. Josef Pleskot, Ing. arch. Michaela Košařová , Ing. arch. David Ambros, Ing. arch. Michaela Zucconi

MUSEum+. Industrial Museum in Ostrava, state contributory organization

MUSEum+ is not just a museum of memory. Despite the fact that its traditional museum exhibitions cover an area of around 5,000 m2 and approximately 2,630 m2 are occupied by depositories, it has a distinct educational ambition, which lies in an understandable metaphorical form of interpretation of the past, present and future. Its programme involves tracing the transformations of life and society over time.
The existing blast furnaces can be used to clearly illustrate the history of the industrial era and the production of its essential product - steel. In the exposed underground, the foundations of the dynamics of the changes in the technologies that ensured production are shown. The foundations will be uncovered in a gentle way using the methods of industrial archaeology. It will thus be possible to show interesting findings and evidence of the development that took place hectically on the site for more than a century.
The architectural concept chosen for the MUSEum+ solution allows the authentic appearance of the blast furnaces, air heaters, dust pits, auxiliary buildings and the foundry hall with casting platform to be preserved. The newly inserted staircases, lifts and platforms, together with the adapted existing vertical pathways, allow to observe and understand not only the complex spatial and technological context of the metallurgical apparatus, but also the working processes and tasks of the people who operated them.

The new entrance structures, which are substructured beneath the steel foundry platform at the base level of the parterre (+-0.00), contain all the features and introductory information that visitors from the present need to enter a process that illustrates the transformation of life over time. Scenarios and programs to understand the transformations will be thoughtfully and objectively served to them by MUSEum+. They should not be over-directed and manipulated, but they should feel right from the start that they have the opportunity to illuminate the industrial epoch and the social transformations it has caused. It will show to what extent we are heirs to its legacy and how difficult it is to come to terms with it.
We live our own present at a time when we are perhaps more than ever wondering what the future holds. We can predict much on the basis of a critically described past and a responsibly analysed present that we go through daily. What will be the future of our civilisation, of the planet and of humanity as a whole? The answers to the questions raised can be provided by thematic exhibitions, but especially by the programme located in a futuristic object that levitates in the foundry hall's attic above its technologically shaped floor. In the bowels of this object - a tube - a kind of laboratory for predicting the future, for example in the field of technology, energy generation and social patterns of life, can be operated using the most advanced digital technologies and artificial intelligence.

Somewhat simplistically and with some exaggeration, it can be summarised that the ground floor of the study focuses mainly on the lived present, the underground between the foundations contains the memory of a constantly explored past, and an imaginative future floats above the industrial landscape of the foundry platform.
in the form of an organically modelled tube. But in reality, everything is interconnected with everything else, forming together one meaningful whole designed for exploration and education.

We wish to build a church that will be the natural center of gravity of the entire Brno Líšeň housing estate, which will mark and strengthen the terraces in front of it and offer breathtaking panoramic views. Create a meeting place for all residents.
We wish a church that will carry the depth of tradition and thus be completely contemporary. We wish a church that will accommodate different types of liturgy and personal meditation. We wish a church to which all generations would like to go. We wish the church, which in its expression will be the current cipher of transcendence, the threshold to what transcends us. A church that will provide home to believers as well as shelter and an inspiring environment for all who seek the essence of things and events, who want to step out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and stop in silence. We wish a church that will not become uncommon under the excess of contemporary design.
The concept is based on the principle of a kind of yard covered by a light (statute) construction of a quadratic outline. The roof shell (tent) diffusely transmits daylight. In a contemporary way, it evokes the lightness of desert temples (tents), the airiness of the ribs of medieval cathedrals and the clarity of Baroque spatial plans. The courtyard of Jerusalem, heavenly, is surrounded by galleries, which are intermittently woven temple outbuildings (like chapels) with various accompanying (service) functions.

AP Gallery

AP Gallery is a private “laboratory” investigating relationship between architecture and the current modern art. The results are public.

The solution is based on the following prerequisites:

1) Isolation and sterile clean environment is harmful for the modern art, contrary to habitual practice.
Thus, it is hardly possible to disconnect the current modern art from its oxygen, i.e. presence of specific light.

Our gallery acknowledges that it is a part of a Prague borough of Holešovice with the view of the Vítkov hill, that it is located in an old factory with many bizarre connotations, that it is a part of AP Atelier working environment and, also, that it is a part of a specific intellectual movement. It does not prioritize any of these aspects.

2) Lack of natural light coming to the venue in a visible way sucks energy out of modern art.
Daylight coming to our gallery through regular windows or rooflights is clearly identifiable. Its quality is influenced by the materials used on walls, ceilings and floors. These are materials transforming the light into soft non-contrast velvet form.

3) Modern art as a specific phenomenon requires a specific real venue with all identification signs of modern architecture.
All architectural elements of our gallery forming the venue provide for its non self-centred nature and certain archetypal legibility. Thus, they help to create a very familiar, calm and specific environment.
In this sense, AP Gallery represents a specific venue for specific works of art.

AP Gallery has resulted from a long-term project “Venue for All Media” organised in cooperation with MXM Gallery. The core idea of this project is to work towards settlement of the debt existing between architecture and fine arts.

Note: The venue is designed solely and purely for the purposes stated above. Should it not be possible to evaluate it within the “Work of Art in Architecture” category, we do not want it to be transferred to any other category. We see its importance only as a contribution to the discussion under category V.
