Gallery
Lost in Squares is a critical consideration of the role and state of architectural practice, users and societies in the process of mass production of construction objects whose newly created value is measured and proven by the basic unit of area measurement, the square meter. Regardless of the typology of the facility and the place on the planet faced with rapid development, the same value system is applied to logistics centers, housing, business... The lack of architectural thoughtfulness is compensated by the speed of realization. The depersonalization of the space is the result of the formula of the least common multiple. The exclusion of the creation of cultural value is justified by economic responsibility. What was once space has been reduced to the status of a monetary currency in a direct value relationship with gold and other currencies.

Laboratory of the future
The laboratory of the future is a step out of sterile space, materialized in a continuous process of questioning and activation of all actors of society. The architecture of the future is redefined as a platform for research.
Exhibition concept and content
Critical thinking is conceptualized through three aspects: the space of question(s), the space of state and the space of potential.
