The work of the genius architect Santini has been an inspiration for centuries and appeals to the current generation of students of the Faculty of Art and Design in Pilsen, too. Take a look at the exhibition of their semester works on the principles of Santini's work. This is right in the UNESCO Cathedral in Kutná Hora, into which Santini wove his unique building elements.
The students of the Graphic Design and Digital Media Studio have explored the floor plans of Santini's buildings, in which they find a masterful grasp of geometric design. Lines, symbols, mathematics, mysticism, composition, and grids consisting of circles influenced each student. The exhibition includes a loop of short animated videos that digitally unfold the names, networks, and independent life and work of the unique architect.
