The exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in New York at GJF in Prague presents the educational process of the new studio LabArch A3 at VŠUP, led by Prof. Acad. Arch. Imrich Vaško and MgA. Martin Gsandtner, M.Sc., since autumn 2011.

The aim of academic research on architecture in the altered realities of contemporary information society is the content-based, formal, and methodological testing of the discipline throughout its entire design process. Six selected student projects present the application of structured—digital and technological—production methods of design—from transcriptions of abstract geometries of nanostructures to architectural interpretations of the Gallery of Modern Art in New York—as a manifesto transformed by the paradigm of 21st-century architecture. The original plot of the architectural manifesto of the 20th century—Guggenheim Museum by F. L. Wright—became the experimental territory of research for studio A3 at VŠUP.

Exhibiting students: Jana Hejlová, Tadeáš Klaban, Jakub Lukeš, Shota Tsikoliya, David Kovařík, and Veronika Kopecká

Semester assignment of the Gallery of Modern Art in New York:

The binding principle "There is enough space at the bottom" from Richard Feynman, which opened the concept of a completely new world. "At a very low level of measurement, we have new kinds of forces and new kinds of possibilities, new kinds of effects. The issues of production and reproduction of materials will be completely different. I am inspired by structural phenomena where different forces are used, creating recurring ways of all kinds of fashionable and strange effects."

The prefix nano is derived from the Greek n'anos, meaning "dwarf." Nano is a trillionth, density, pulsating nature, manipulation and control. Invisible fabrics offer variations of diverse complex structures with their richness. By opening up the nano cosmos, the possibilities of tracking intelligent and pulsating connections of monotonous specifics arise. The ascending transformation from mono- to stereotomy occurs by tuning the variability depending on their algorithmic character and performance. Such a range of phantom spectrum, with its complex matter and diversity of conventional structures, facilitates advanced organization and adaptation to the fundamental properties of the phenomenon o|su|bject. The aim is not to represent the mimicry of invisible specifics of phantoms from photography into architectural space. The main goal is to associatively transform the logic of the organization of images of incredibly small materials of the nano phenomenon into a pulsating, densely and diversely frequented space. It could be an urban bus station, an urban train station, a city library, or a new museum of modern art. Let yourself be inspired by incredibly small phantoms, extract their geometry into an abstract form, alternate, and produce series of possible abstract definitions of spatial geometry that are not driven by a monotonous architectural program. Focus on the detail of fabrics, their dissemination of information, their flexibility, and interconnectivity.

Elastic tectonics of the Gallery of Modern Art in New York:

Throughout the semester, students observed the logic of natural systems and their subsequent transcription into the functioning system of the new gallery space. The structure of the space was monitored and its morphology re-evaluated into a new form of façade materialization, operation, and construction dimension. The aim of the project was to expand the catalog of emerging tectonics of surfaces as a follow-up to previous research on new geometries.
