The exhibition of designs by Robert Konieczny and KWK Promes studio will have its Parisian installment on November 9. The "Moving Architecture" exhibition will visit the Galerie d'Architecture in Paris, where Shigeru Ban, Rem Koolhaas, Renzo Piano and Bernard Tschumi, among others, have presented their works so far.
This is not the first presentation of an exhibition devoted to the architect's projects, in which movement plays an important role - the exhibition had its debut at Architektur Galerie in Berlin in 2019, later, at the end of the year, it was presented under the title "Moving / Immovable" at GAGA Architecture Gallery in Krakow [read more about the exhibition in A&B 2/2020]. At the time, four buildings with moving elements - the Safe House, the Breakthroughs Dialogue Center, the architect's own home, i.e. Konieczny 's Ark, and the Quadrant House- were presented on boards with the effect known from the formerly popular three-dimensional postcards. At the Paris gallery, the list will be expanded to include the studio's Czech realization, the PLATO Gallery of Contemporary Art in Ostrava.

Although buildings are, as a rule, immobile, we discovered that through mobility, architecture can interfere with the space around and create new relationships with the environment. With each successive project, we are opening up buildings in more and more non-standard ways, blurring the barrier between inside and outside. In doing so, architecture gains greater adaptability to the changing environment, the architects explain. - The buildings are presented in such a way that in order to perceive the movement recorded in the still images, visitors to the exhibition must move themselves, which gives the "Moving Architecture" exhibition an additional dimension, they add.
The grand opening of the exhibition will begin with a lecture by Robert Konieczny at the Pavillon de l'Arsenal on November 9 at 6:30 p.m. The exhibition will be on view in the French capital until mid-January 2022.
