There is no doubt that the competition for the National Library in Prague has been the most significant event in the Czech architecture in the past few years. Whatever our personal views may be, the case of the National Library shows indisputably more than anything else the current atmosphere in Czech architecture and above all the atmosphere in the whole Czech society. The designed concept tries to present this event within the context of the main biennale theme; connecting opposites.
The presentation form we have chosen does not hold the ambition to explain or describe anything to visitors on site or take a stand regarding the case. Its purpose is an effective definition of the phenomenon into which the international architecture competition for the new National Library in Prague grew.
This phenomenon has become the largest nationwide discussion on the topic of architecture, democracy, and power. Kaplicky’s design has become a symbol and architectural icon stronger than structures being realized at that time. It has become a symbol and expression of our ambitions 
and our (in)ability to fulfil them.
description of exposition: The exposition utilizes the simple but powerful space design of the Novotný exhibition hall. A stream of light materialized by a rain of fishing lines falls from the skylight through the pure regular space. The lines hold points which define fragmented pixels of the organic shape of Kaplicky’s Library design.
The rain of light and the rigid space of the hall contrast each other the contradiction being accentuated by the colour contrast (black x white). 
This contrast expresses the clash between notions and reality (solid ground x levitating model), between what we wish to be and what we are; the contradiction between the material nature of architecture and its intangible meaning (the great scale of the model x its fragile ethereal form).
virtual part:
A 30 minute documentary film placed on the web site of the exposition will from an integral part of the concept. The film will try to reveal some of the many layers of the case of the competition for the National Technical Library. The film is to capture the motifs for arrangement of the international architectural competition, the competition itself, prize awards, mixed reactions to the award winning design, discussion in the society elicited by the result, politicization of the case, legal disputes and the personal story of the author of the award winning design – the gradual turning of rational ambitions utilizing democratic means into an irrational phenomenon.
