Abstract
The study deals with Kristek House designed by the Czech painter, sculptor and performer Lubo Kristek in Tišnovská Street in Brno-Černá Pole in 2015. This building is a work of art that oscillates between architecture, artistic assemblage and exterior installation.
The objective is to present Kristek House in the context of categories such as home, place and living. A house and home are an objective and indispensable reality enabling survival, while on the other hand it is a semiotic system with many connotations and various layers of meaning.
It is a tool of adapting to the environment as well as a symbolic value, a structure and/or the centre of the universe shared by its inhabitants. A house and home conceived in such a way may create a unique space and offer an extraordinary opportunity for a wide range of various encounters and social relationships.
