Gallery of Consciousness 2008 Design Studio of Michaela Brožová and Petra M. Hájek Czech Technical University in Prague Faculty of Architecture
Junk is a cellular equation that teaches the user facts of general validity. I have learned a great deal from using junk: I have seen life measured out in eye-droppers of morphine solution. I experienced the agonizing deprivation of junk sickness, and the pleasure of relief when junkthirsty cells drank from the needle. Perhaps all pleasure is relief. I have learned the cellular stoicism that junk teaches the user. I have seen a cell full of sick junkies silent and immobile in separate misery. They knew the pointlessness of complaining or moving. They knew that basically no one can help anyone else. There is no key, no secret someone else has that he can give you. William Burroughs – Junk Contemplation space based on a libretto. A way of a junky through the process of quitting on drugs. Colapse, suffering, shadow, silence, solitude, awarness, light, rise, consciousness. Perimeter walls are left in raw stone after excavation. Other constructions are executed in concrete or reinforced concrete. 12 | 13

Libretto I am not complaining about you elements! I haven’t given the kingdom to you! Beat me, if you like it. Polity is here for citizens, not citizens for polity. I am a man who has been aggrieved more than he had ever aggrieved anybody else. It is raining. Do you write peoms? Václav Havel, Leaving Design and program of the house is derived from libretto and given site. House is a public space, office and personal space at the same time. Tese functons devide the building horizontally to three different spaces. Floors are connected by vertical staircase and greenery Public Contunity and extension of public square. Works as a place to rest and hide out against rain, snow and heat. Protection against elements. Office Roof of public space. Connection to the public square and people. Office as instrument to serve citizens and protect them. Terrace in the eastern part of the city is used as a place to contemplation. Personal Small room excluded from the house by little staircase. With large window towards the forest and little vista towards the square. Chancellor’s personal space for relaxation and education.

House with Windows Apartement House Praha - Libeň, Czech Republic 2009 Design Studio of Alena Šrámková Czech Technical University Faculty of Architecture
Apartement house on a given plan 25 x 25 m on a plot of 50 x 50 m located on Liben Island with view of Holesovice harbour with Prague panorama in the background and river access. House is created by four single towers of a size 9 x 9 x 12.5 m connected with central staircase with elevator. Each tower is elevated by 1/3 of the floor so that the last fourth northeastern tower is one floor higher then the first tower and has an advantage of the view into all directions. Base of the towers is soil from garage excavation under the house. Seperation to public (road on the east) and private (area around the river) part. Apartements are design with maximum usability with built in furniture. Orientation towards east and west with nice views and to south towards the sun is very much controlled. Windows are designed according to day light and sun rays needs. Facade appearance is ruled by interior needs. Load bearing structure is concrete monolithical structure of 8.6 x 8.6 m modul. Insulation and white plaster is applied on the concrete structure. 20 | 21

Winery Konza Prarie Native Tallgrass Preserve, KS, USA 2010 Design Studio of Torgeir Norheim Kansas State University College of Architecture, Planning and Design Winery building is placed in the closest possible place to the highway through which grapes will be brought in and also close to new vineyard in the western part of the site. The building is placed above the valley and is party placed under the ground. Tradition Wine is about people gathering together in a space that connects everybody - a courtyard that becomes the heart of the system. It is reached by the visitors from the top throught a contemplation path with peers into the wine proces. All ways in the winery start from the serene enclosed courtyard. Wine flow For the purpose of easy manipulation wine in bottles comes out at the same place where grapes come into the proces - in the courtyard. Building Winery is devided into visitor’s part made out of rammed earth and underground wine production spaces carved into the limestone providing darkness, stable humidity and temperature. Paths are made out of imestone-concrete mixture Central core of the visitor’s center as heat acumulator. The building also has a green roof. Views Views over the valley and new vineyard create beatiful atmoshere, which is important not only for the wine tasting but also to enjoy the time. From the winetasting room or from the top of the building visitors can see all over the valley.

Memorial to the Victims of Communism House “under Stalin” Praha – Letná, Czech Republic 2011 Design Studio of Petra Hájek and Jaroslav Hulín Czech Technical University in Prague Faculty of Architecture exhibition
“[anastomosis] - connected city” Center of Contemporary Art DOX Praha, Czech Republic, 2012
Monument to the victims of communism as a manifesto of remembrance and an allert of what is communism capable of to the present evolution in the country. The communism reign is responsible for many wasted lives. The living forest on the hillside transitions into the dead forest of the monument, which consists of 5075 glassfibre stakes symbolizing the number of wasted human lives during communist ocupation in Czechoslovakia. Each stake belongs to one person. The stakes sound in the wind, creating a whisper of thousands of souls. Pathways wind along the monument, connecting the forest with the city; underneath them, a visitor center and related spaces are located underground, built out of water resistant concrete.

Chapel for Reverent Area Ležáky 2011 competition – team Petr Hájek Architekti, Praha, Czech Republic: Petr Hájek, Tomáš Hradečný, Dominik Saitl, Cornelia Klien
Lezaky were burned down, ruins of houses were dismantled, men and women were killed, children were abducted. Nothing has been spared. Only nature remained. In honour to the place chaple designed for Lezaky does not step above ground. The shape of the chapel, its placement and materials are designed to tell the story of Lezaky. Uneven shape of the chapel is intersection of burned down houses. The shape is symbol of common fate. The boundary between life and death. House meant residence. Residence was verdict. The chapel is entered through high wooden door. Interior of the chapel is simple. Walls and ceiling are made out of ramed earth, which represents the connection with place and fate. With all respect there is no new material brought in. Chapel is empty, on walls there are names of victims. In the ceiling there are narrow holes. Sun rays project light spot on the wall of the chapel only at one day in year. On anniversary of the slaughtering. June 24. Rays of light touch the names only at one moment. Urns with ash are placed in small crypt - vault under the floor which is enclosed by heavy stone.

[anastomosis] – connected city exhibition Center of Contemporary Art DOX Praha, Czech Republic 1. 2. – 26. 3. 2012 organizers
Foundation Art-Now Design Studio of Petra Hájek and Jaroslav Hulína FA CTU Center of Contemporary Art DOX team

Project Anastomosis presents a different view on the functioning of contemporary city and solution of its problems. The city is understood as a closed structure with “frozen evolution”. Its further developement can’t be done by rebuilding the city but by its adaptation. To start this healing process it is necessary to activate small but important connections – [anastomosis]. The exhibition presents 65 architectural designs for 4 city locations. These projects are the result of two year research in the design studio of Petr Hajek and Jaroslav Hulin at the Faculty of Architecture at Czech Technical University in Prague and in Laboratory for Experimantal Architecture (LEA). In terms of its evolution, today’s Central European city is frozen in time. Its urban structure and infrastructure is rigidly defined. As a result, it responds all they more painfully to new challenges and demands. The [anastomosis] project is the result of years of research in the field of urbanism. We do not wish to reconfigure, supplement, or repair the city. Our aim is to launch a process of regeneration, to merely create tissue connections

that will activate and bring fresh life-giving blood to the various parts of the city. We call these connections [anastomosis]. Designs are presented through tree dimensional models on the exhibition area of 900 m2. 44 | 45

Due to economical reasons we suggest to take the existing building down. The new house is a singl solid element as are all the houses in the neighbourhood. The designed house is a monument. Stands firm. This simple volume has a gabled roof. The shape of the roof has its connection in the mountains behind the house. This geometry ties the house together with the place where it stands.

Container Student Housing Berlin, Germany 2013 - team Petr Hájek Architekti, Praha, Czech Republic: Petr Hájek, Tomáš Hradečný, Dominik Saitl, Cornelia Klien, Martin Stoss, Barbara Bencová invited competition
The inspiration for the proposal was a monastery with a wall around. We are using containers like „Lego“ to build a simple structure, which encloses the whole building site. This solution provides protection against the sound from the nearby railway tracks and creates by that a calm inner garden atmosphere. The rooms are oriented towards the courtyard and similar to cells of monks fitted only with essential equipment. The living units are accessible via galleries along the outer facade. In order to improve sound insulation and protection against weather, the gallery is covered by a polycarbonate shell.

Ehon-no-oka Farm area rehabilation project 2010 Koisago, Nakagawa, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan Design Studio of Taketo Shimohigoshi & Masumitsu Nozawa Hosei University Tokyo, Japan Graduate School of Engineering & Design Faculty of Architecture urban plan collaboration
MarkĂŠta KorbeliusovĂĄ The area of Tochogi was struck by earthquake in March 2011. House fall apart, land was devastated. Farm that used to work as education center for families and children needs to be reactivated. Syntax between traditional Japanese architecture and modern structure as reflection of regionalism, agricultural landscape and contemporary design. Farmyard and existing barn as a heart for various uses; market, crops collection, manipulation, theater; surrounded by buildings, on a platform below and above fields. Vistas, gardens, intimate corners, existing trees, depth and privacy are composed together with the sense of place - MA with L shaped walls. To provide atability three types of structural elements are designed. Traditional Japanese wooden columns on concrete foundation and L shaped walls made out of concrete or horizontally stacked wooden planks. Each of these elements is selft load bearing and independent on the rest of structure to minimise the effect of possible future earthquake.

House with Three Scopes design, building permit drawings, building supervision Krasonice, Czech Republic 2013
A traditional Czech village house owned by a young growing family situated at the northern edge of a big garden. Very low attic is due to the house and surrounding conditions the only place to grow the living space. The room for the now small children needs to grow. Children will spend a lot of time in their room. The room grows through three skylights with framed vistas into the garden, the garden view-scopes. Cross ventilation is ensured through side openings in the view-scopes and the roof windows on the northern side of the roof. The kitchen with dinning room serves as the connection between the two floors. Ceiling between dinning room and hallway upstairs is left open. Existing materials from the house, such as wood from renovated ceilings, is being reused for new construction, floors and furniture. Clear disinction is made between the new and old. The new black metal boxes and the larch wood shed make a clear statement of respecting the past and being built in the present.

Imagine a space which shrinks and adapts according to your wishes. Space which is soft or hard, space which is big or small. A room which is full of material and when you enter it creates your desired space. You can eat, cook, live, sleep or work at one place, you dont have to move, the space moves around you. All that is done with foam blocks, vacuum pump, computer software and your imagination via an application on your smart phone. One semester experiments were very broad. Many paths were followed. The final product which was tested in 1:1 scale mock up to prove the theory and experiments are working is presented here. This project is being further developed and real life applications are being designed. 70 | 71

The foam deflation is controlled by system of valves which are connected to a vacuum pump in physical model. These valves are connected to servo engines which communicate with Arduino board via Grasshopper and touch OSC application in user’s smartphone. The touch OSC application controls virtual model, physical scale model as well as 1:1 scale model. Each user is than able to create his own scenario in a room including the softness and size of the space created. 74 | 75

250 x 250 x 50 mm The theory is further extended and applied to The Transformer House to imagine how the Rietveld House, which was taken as example, might look like today using present modern technologies. Images on the left page show the house transformation. Movable floor panels with integrated compressors and lock connections allow for independent room and space transformation in two or more levels. These are shown in diagrams and details on this page. On this size and scale kinect systems need to be applied to control the house transformation. 78 | 79

Chandigarh was conceived as an ideal city, symbol of the new independant India. It attracted a lot of people from the surrounding villages, leading to an unexpectedly rapid growth of the city. Poor people come to Chandigarh in hope of a good future, but in most of the cases they end up in slums, buffer zone, their new starting point in life. Today, the identity of Chandigarh as a wealthy and clean city is to be preserved, and is even strenghened with the ambitious - if not ideal - 'Slum-Free City' goal that the Chandigarh Administration is aiming for. But this rehabilitation policy built up a contradictory pattern by relocating slum dwellers from one edge of the city to another. From Bapu Dham unauthorized settlement in sector 26 East, to Dhanas rehabilitation colony outside the sectorial grid, slum dwellers are transiting around the city center - symbol of justice and inclusion - but without ever reaching it. On contrary they remain in a state of exclusion, geographical as well as social. The aim of the project is to merge together these opposite and parallel values of Chandigarh: bringing back the utopia of Chandigarh into the social reality that it faces and claiming an inclusive relocation of the urban poor. 80 | 81

NEW HOUSING UNITS
existing urban blocks consisting of 8 residential blocks is penetrated by asphalt vehicular roads and oversized parking lots, hierarchy in public space is missing
perking lots inside the urban block are converted to a plot area, interior vehicular streets are replaced by pedestrian streets and vehicular streets are kept around the block
in the space between existing residential blocks are created new plots of an area 31 m2 and new housing units are built on these plots
