there, leading political and cultural representatives and the media
as well as professionals, non-professional and the general
public that the project and the final approved work raised from
the time of its birth to 2016.
Following the announcement of the theme of the 15 th International
Architecture Exhibition in Venice the authors focused
on the differentiation of various forms of care for architecture
but also aimed to distinguish care (Sorge) from well-meant
solicitude (Fürsorgen) without project or the various forms of
pragmatic calculus concerned (concern, Besorgen) in the fight
for the premises of the SNG. Working on this differentiation and
as an alternative to a fight and a clash at the front-line, they
offer a creative response of various architectural projects whose
dance can give rise to unexpected solutions. The authors present
this solution in the form of a diagram of options originating
partly from Dedeček’s projects’ phases but especially from
the architectural competition projects, workshops and studio
designs dealing with SNG’s reconstruction and rebuilding.
The form of the project presentation corresponds to the differentiating
movement and solution. The central object of the pavilion
is a three-dimensional metal model of the Slovak National Gallery
premises in red, corresponding to the constructed premises on
a reduced scale (1:17,78). The red colour, however, was just one
of its colours, while the most distinctive polarity was the relationship
between red and white. Some parts of the metal model are
walkable and this makes it possible to see and understand some
of the Dedeček’s original constructional and spatial solutions
of the premises that contain compositional and cluster arrangements
of agoras, amphitheatres, odea, pavilions and galleries.
The model stands in the middle between the two side walls of
the pavilion. The longer parallel walls represent two environments,
two different strategies: the environment of fight, clash and the
strategy of concern (Besorgen), solicitude (Fürsorgen) and the
documentation of Dedeček’s work on one side, and the environment
that asks the arché of Dedeček’s architecture to dance with
the strategy of care (Sorge), and project on the other side.
