This joint exhibition by Martin Nytra and Iva Davidová is inspired by their shared passion and feeling for plants as sentient beings, as well as by their guerrilla and traditional gardening practices. The exhibition theme centers around the interconnection between plants and architecture as the topic of biophilic design is explored within the field of architecture as well. However, Iva Davidová and Martin Nytra do not present designs for real buildings with forms corresponding to current architectural trends.
