Aesthetics of Sustainable Architecture - Exhibition at GJF
We therefore invite you, in collaboration with the Institute of Art History of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, to the opening of the exhibition Aesthetics of Sustainable Architecture on Thursday, July 30 at 7 PM at the Jaroslav Fragner Gallery, Bethlehem Square 5a, Prague 1.
Curators Petr Kratochvíl and Dan Merta have selected sixty examples of how the international architectural discourse on the subject is currently being conducted.
The architectural concept has been prepared in collaboration with the Faculty of Art and Architecture of TUL as part of the project Digital Wood.
Czech artist Veronika Richterová is exhibiting her project Pallet Bottle Cabin, a pilot project for refugee camps in Greece, for this occasion in the courtyard of the Bethlehem Chapel.
The opening will also include the launch of a publication, the graphic design of which was prepared by Jiří Přihoda, featuring texts contributed by the curators as well as Hans Ibelings, Jan Tywoniak, and Petr Kropp.
Surveys and the impacts of climate change on the landscape force us to respond urgently. New approaches must be sought, and the topic cannot be limited to low-energy, passive, or active houses. Experts must find consensus in collaboration with policymakers on the application of key strategies within the definition of current demands for sustainable architecture.
From this year, the directive of the European Commission comes into effect in the Czech Republic, which requires new buildings to be realized in a regime of nearly zero energy consumption.
The international exhibition will present the main directions of contemporary sustainable architecture applied in collaboration with experts and activists, also from the perspective of aesthetic tendencies that have an impact on the environmental context of contemporary architecture, especially in new urban structures. It will seek solutions in creating new links between our relationship to the environment and sustainability, and an answer to the question of whether architecture can still play a significant role in saving the planet, and not just be a tool for the accumulation of capital or the creation of aesthetic forms without an ethical imperative.
In 2008, GJF organized the first international project concerning sustainable architecture, whose main exhibition mapped the current situation in the Czech Republic. The current exhibition should examine the shift in development, especially the question of whether it is possible to reconcile the demands for ecological sustainability and the architectural-aesthetic quality of buildings.
