The exhibition showcases his most important architectural projects and completed works. Throughout his life, Michal Brix has sought to bring architecture and visual art together. The medium connecting these disciplines is drawing, which he has frequently used in conceptual sketches for architecture and urban design. His paintings are dominated by fantastical themes of futuristic architecture. His realistic painting style sometimes resembles computer-generated visualizations.
