A69: Remixes in Berlin

11/04/08 —

Location: Aedes am Pfefferberg, Christinenstr. 18-19, 10119 Berlin

Duration: 3. June – 30. June 2008

Opening: Friday, 3. June 2008, 6.30pm

Opening hours: Tu-Fr 11-6.30h, Sa-Su 13-17 h

Under the title “Remix” the exhibition traces common roots of modern architectural thinking in

archetypes and common features of the very essence and basic principles of design work

like: “boundary”, archetypus”, “interieor / exterior”, “hybridisation”, “stratification” and others.

The artistic form intentionally focuses on the abstract character of architectural design work,

leaving space to the development of specific technical solutions for every particular project.

Each of their designs presents a unique challenge.

The exhibition shows the various work of A69 Architects created in 14 years of their existence.

The Sanatorium Dr. Peták, the revitalisation of Anglická Street, Villa Park Strahov in

Prague, Villa Lea (Wallpaper Award 2007 nominee) and the EggO House and many more.

Besides also competition entries, studies and design drafts will be presented.

The installation for the exhibition is a result of their questioning: “How can architecture be

exhibited? Can it be experienced through detached observation?” Their answer is formed by

a lowered ceiling, entirely black. Seven black wholes allow the entrance over a step- ladder

to enter the space and discover different architectonical worlds with all senses in which also

light and sound are included. “It is necessary to enter into it, to be swallowed by it, to give

one´s senses to it. To be borne aloft by it.”

Radomira Sedláková, Právo, about the exhibition:

“It does not matter to what degree the spatial installation is faithful and precise, but what

feelings it evokes – and through them drawing attention to what the authors of the building

and it´s installation viewed in the given project as most vital.”

interesting presentation. it,s also interesting to see what our neighbours are doing:)

say that it was a really great way of presentation a project. I really
liked them all!!!!personally I prefer that kind of presentation in the
age of computer programmes, it's very valuable....

A69 as a member of “EU Panorama” in Berlin!

29/06/07 — The Panorama is a walkable open-air installation, on view in front of the Paul Loebe House in Berlin’s Government District on the occasion of the festivities surrounding the 50th anniversary of the Treaties of
Rome. The project was realised by the “Germany – Land of Ideas” nation-branding initiative and the government’s location marketing agency, the “Invest in Germany GmbH,” with the support of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi). Cooperation partners are the European Movement International and the Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa newswire), which made an editorial contribution to
the EU Panorama. Under the heading “Ideas for Europe,” 27 citizens of EU member states give the union a face; their biographies document the growing together of the various countries on the bedrock of the European Union (EU). Our colleague Alice Šmídová has been chosen as a Face of Czech Republic!
The portraits in the installation are the work of the Berlin photographers Jens Neumann and Edgar Rodtmann.
