Palach Musem, Vsetaty, Czech Republic
Museum and memorial as a labyrinth, searching for the way of self-expression.
Architectural competition, second place, 2016.
Jan Palach was a czech dissident, whose self-immolation in protest of the Soviet invasion of 1968 served as a galvanizing force against the communist government in Czechoslovakia
Museum takes place at the Palach birthplace house in small the town of Vsetaty. This house is transformed into the triangilar geometry of labyrinth.
Two storey labyrinth let us freely walk through its structure. In the end we enter the symbolic venue of the Palach´s act. Palach didn´t leave this world in „classical“ way, this place show us way out of the labyrinth. Garden offers calm place for the contemplation.
