Their interpretation is focused on understanding the pulsation of space in Mies’ architecture and the subsequent materialization of an invisible and elusive phenomenon into architectural proto-objects. Thus, a new sphere and interface between the old and the new is created, through which the innovative thinking of the early twentieth century and the present can be bridged. The digital design uses data obtained directly from the dimensions and concept of the space of Villa Tugendhat. These are abstracted, orchestrated and applied to a digital programme that can be used to create entirely new structures and forms.
Digital design methods are inspired by biology, evolution, physics, cognitive science, sociology, and art. The results are radical, new, aesthetic, architectural objects. Inspiration in the weaving and spinning machines, so characteristic of Brno of the First Republic is imprinted in the designs and transforms the objects into musical instruments.
In addition to the exhibition of models of biomorphic objects printed on a 3D printer, usable garden seating furniture in real size was created based on Mies’ architectural language.
