Mendel's greenhouse | CHYBIK + KRISTOF
Brno / Czech Rep.
0
Nested in the 14th-century Augustinian monastery’s gardens, the original building was swept away by a storm in the 1870s, leaving to this day only its foundations. Integrated in the structure and left visible, the preserved foundations are at the basis of the designs’ reinterpretation – echoing the orientation, shape and distinct roof of the greenhouse. While the volume is inspired by the original edifice, the reimagined supporting steel structure seeks inspiration from Mendel’s three laws of inheritance – and the drawings of his resulting heredity system.
