Publication |

Abstract

The article reflects using linear structures of Zdeněk Sýkora for wall paintings in new building for controlling air operations in Jenč by Prague. These are not only of distinct visual value in the projected building, but also of symbolical one concerning main purpose of this institution - set the rules into quite chaotic demands of air transport providers.

On this occasion other visual installations by Zdeněk Sýkora are summarised for the public space in the Czech Republic as well as abroad. Investors and the chief architect are criticised for insensitive implementation of Sýkora's ceramic wall originally located close to the metro station in Vodičkova street into the of the Café Emporio interior.
