The work of three Czech architects is
featured at the Aedes gallery in Berlin,
which continues its interesting appraisal
of young talent.
Boris Redcenkov, Prokop Tomasek and
Jaroslav Wertig were all born in the
same year (1969) and all three graduated
from the architecture faculty
of the Czech Technical University
in Prague, the city where they live and
where since 1994 they have been working
under the name of A69 (www.a69.cz).
They are also among the most promising
names in the Eastern European panorama,
thanks mainly to two projects
that have brought them international
recognition: Villa Lea (where a few simple
geometric forms and a wall made
entirely from glass play on the notion of
inside and outside) and the EggO House
(a house designed for a young couple in
Prague whose concrete roof is interrupted
to create an egg-shaped void that
leaves glimpses of the garden). The exhibition
“Remixes” (running until June 30)
offers a complete look at their work, a
CV that spans 14 years and a continual
search for innovative technical solutions. Elena Sommariva
