Collaboration with Roman Tomáška_The concept of the ephemeral architecture with theme “Empathy” is to create a lightweight and airy structure, made up of simple aluminum profiles joined into a simple cube shape, thus creating a modular system with different composition options of these modules. The main element in this cube are hanging colored ribbons, where each of these ribbons represents a person, and together they form a large community of people. In this case ribbons, that are close to each other, just as we humans are often in different situations, and also we react to each other and we are influenced by each other. Likewise, these ribbons, since they are made of light material and are not firmly attached or stretched in any way, they will influence each other depending on the environment in which we put this architecture. Whether it is a movement that comes from outside, in the form of wind or rain, or a movement that can come from inside, movement of the people who will be able to go through the tunnel in each and every individual module and touch directly the hung ribbons. Also, the diversity of these ribbons shows the diversity of us as humans. Everyone is original, we cannot meet the same person anywhere, but at the same time something unites us, and it is that we are human, and mutual empathy brings harmony and balance into our lives. The art of understanding a close person, or even a stranger, is beautiful. To empathize with their personal inner struggle, which is like going through our tunnel between the individual ribbons, to get to know the whole route, the whole story and journey of this structure and maybe even at a time when strong winds will blow, and we may be lost for a while, in that chaos of colors, but still find the way of understanding and coming back to the sun, already marked by this experience, this journey, looking at other people with the feeling that we may no longer be afraid to empathize with the inner feelings of another human being and experience what can only be experienced if we know how to use a simple trait we inherit from ancient times, from our ancestors,
“EMPATHY”.
“EMPATHY”.
