"This essay focuses on conceptual and formal concerns shared by the architecture of Frank Gehry and the art of Jan Mančuška and Jiří Příhoda.

Gehry’s work has always been intentionally informed by contemporary art, and—while this can easily be overstated or misunderstood—it is a commonplace to describe his buildings as sculptures. On the other hand, many of Mančuška’s and Příhoda's artistic projects have profound architectural implications."
