STATEMENT
"The
area of café - bar is located in the back additional building of town house,
which dates from the 90s of the 20th century. The reconstruction was cleaned
out from age-old layers of
"design" and the airing of the
space by removing the original decorative arches. Additional building fills the whole ground and therefore the only source of daylight is the original skylight.
From
the beginning investor insisted on retaining the original name "Fountain
Bar" but there was
a change during works. The name here served as a source of inspiration to the concept of discourse space. Free Association: Fountain - geyser - water level evoke a dynamic, changing shape and color story. This variability of light, flickering lights, colors and reflections are inscribed in the interior by
a form of undulating structure of lighter color changing fibers. The whole area is delineated monochromatically that its effect is most emphasized. The light creates color information whereas curtly dealt space focuses on the materialization. Important is the surface of the light - its texture,
a fine contrast between matte and glossy surfaces.

The space is light colored
structure of light-conducting
fibers. The fibers with a
diameter of 3 millimeters through
12 glass frames
that determine the final morphology. Total has been used over 1000 m fiber and two light sources
that create gradual spillover colors through fibers. You can regulate the speed of color change or suspend it in a certain tone. The structure was designed
using a parametric design method, where based on our creating of software
tools, were generated different shape variations after entering certain
parameters. These were examined in visualization and then changed
again. The basic parameters that can be changed are the
dimensions and distance of glass frames, their radius controlled by ripple
control circles, the number of fibers passing through the frame, their
densification, etc. The method of
parametric design served not only
for finding the optimal shape, but also to
easily create production drawings
glass frames and
accurate determination of the required length fibers.
The new name "Aquarium"
is derived from 6 m wide aquarium, which is integrated into the front panel. Together with light structure create a
major dominant of space and compensate for missing view of the street. In the
openable front panel are located aquarium technology and resources light color
changing fibers. Fine fiber network also serves as a breaker sounds. RGB LED strips
deposited on glass frames are used for any illumination and coloring space."
