PRIOR
Prior loosely connects observations from neuroscientific disciplines in the practice of designing play installations. The spatial layout is conceived with the targeted intention of stimulating different functions of the human physical and mental apparatus. The combination of optic and haptic sensations in a parallel scenario conveys the visitor, the participant, into an unusual situation. The result of the stimulation is a disruptive reaction, which initiates the organism’s adaptation process. Adaptation is a key mechanism that connects play, learning, and the perception of a work of art.

OFF FENCE
In installation OFF FENCE at the 17th Biennale of Architecture, visitors are confronted with an obstacle on the path leading them to it.They must deal with it if they wish to continue. They may give up, or they can choose to go around it, or they can walk through the obstacle. Either way, their decision, their reaction to this impediment, becomes symbolic.Separated society physically, geographically, socially. In response to this Biennale’s theme, the installation asks: What is it that separates us? What pushes us away from the state that we strive for? The OFF FENCE installation confronts the separation phenomenon as it blocks playful access along a path with a barrier. It transforms this obstacle into an impulse of change. The objective is to initiate transformation within a playful context as one symbolically embraces the physicality of a problem.

PECKA
Pecka Playscape represents a fusion between a playground, a sculpture park and an educational trail, designed on a monumental scale and set in the midst of the enchanting landscape of Krkonoše National Park. The main impulse that initiated this project was to motivate both parents and children to enjoy the outdoors. The installations were inspired by wildlife inhabiting the Krkonoše mountains.
REZISTOR
Emil Kolben´s quarter – electrotechnical scheme. A significant element. A point of orientation. A 3D model of the electrotechnical REZISTOR mark / Emil Kolben´s column. The monument is a vertical three-dimensional sketch based on a triangle ground plan. The minimalist construction emphasizes sophisticated arrangement of geometric relations. REZISTOR is the first realized column of four planned columns designed for this project. The other monuments are planned to be built together with the following construction of the quarter.

THE HEALING WALL
Situated in the place of the original village square, a memory of something that vanished. A change of substances, brick wall surrounded by the air. Uniqueness is defined by things that escape our attention. ALL THAT CHANGES. The abstract composition of the brick relief refers to the disappeared original built-up area of newly revitalized park. The brick wall finishes the axial composition of the park, an original bottom of the pond. Classical technology of the brick bonding is brought to its very border of feasibility. Contrasting with the traditional construction material, the wall is equipped with a nanotechnological transparent paint, which cleans the air thanks to its photocatalytic effect (without any chemical or waste substances). This unique technology was developed by Czech scientists at the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry.
