THE OPERA DISTRICT ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////// The Opera District ///// Brownfield master plan for Porto Alegre, Brasil 2008, AAAD Prague //// supervised by ing. arch. Ivan Kroupa & ing. arch. Jana Moravcova /// Water and earth, the two allegorical powers define a matrix of lines, which sets up the urban design as a whole as well as its individual details. The buildings emerge from water to become a firm part of the ground. The volumes are low and compact // adjusting to the visitor and respecting his every movement requirement as he walks, rides a bike, drives a car, etc. The focus behind the design of the urban layout is the unit of time derived from the concepts of movement and speed. The design includes / my favorite part, La Passegiata, how I call a possibility to walk from the roof of the structure down to the coast. The form is solid. The shape of the waterfront neighborhood gives the impression of sand washed out by water. The horizon is clean and streets are meandering, surprising you with every round of a corner, providing new perspective. The volume of the Opera House respects the “sloping� structure and has no ambition to act as a landmark on its own. This function is created by the mix of buildings and neighborhood in its entirety.
THE PRAGUE ZOO AMAZON HOUSE ///////////////////////////////////////////
////// The Prague Zoo Amazon House ///// Reconstruction of the Large Mammals Pavilion in Prague Zoo, Czech Republic 2010, AAAD Prague //// supervised by ing. arch. Ivan Kroupa & ing. arch. Jana Moravcova The new Pavilion of the Amazon Jungle in Prague Zoo, located in the residential district of Troja, is a reconstruction of a /// former inconvenient pavilion for large mammals preserving most of its original concrete structures. If the existing exposures are reorganised, the area offers a generous capacity for use of space. I propose a solution which respects the spectrum of // fauna and flora and simplifies the area for the visitors as well as for the services. /
The main mass of the pavilion is unsuspected, hidden below the walking platform. Only three 40 m high pavilion towers culminate above the ground becoming the signature of both the Amazon Jungle Pavilion and the whole urban site.
The conception of the vertical pavilion towers follows the idea of the verticality of the real Amazon dzungle.
The walkable platform separates tourist environment from service one.

THE TOWER HOUSE /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////// The Tower House for a TV Maniak ///// House 2010, AAAD Prague //// supervised by ing. arch. Ivan Kroupa & ing. arch. Jana Moravcova house’s sophisticated form responds to the lowland character of Polabí acting as an observatory to the vast landscape that /// The it overlooks. The house is a result of equal consideration of overlapping opposites – intimacy and eccentricity, interior and exterior, openness vs. closeness, mobility and immobility, variability vs stability. This idea is reflected in the layout of the house’s gener// ous central vertical area. Among other things, it contains the very important requirement of the technocrat investor- a huge TV 4,2×2,8 m. Because of the scenic attitude created by the opposites used in the central space, the TV does not became a dominant / of the interior. It remains a part of a system of adjustable lights, movable floors and other systems. Through all these technical capabilities the house is able to react to the client’s needs with changes of atmosphere or even layout. Each room keeps its own intimate character but can open up to be a part of the whole.

RYNEK GROCERY STORE /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////// The Rynek Grocery Store ///// 2012, Prague Design protected under utility patent, Czech Republic 2013 //// In this proposal I tried to concentrate myself on very important detail of grocery stores - a storage box. No more mess around! /// No more paper boxes or untidy plastic ones! I tried to redesign and upgrade this neglected part of grocery stores, coming up with a solution, which became quite innovative, so that it got under utility patent protection . Boxes create a product module and // these create product sections emphasized in a three color schemes visually dividing the store into three parts. Regardless the diversity in the color scheme, the space keeps it’s unity and directs the costumer successfully towards the aim of his grocery / trip. The box module system is variable - offering a variety of different storage options and a possibility of a traditional product presentation - writing on a blackboard panel, so the information is always actuall. The first Rynek Grocery Store should be finished by the end of September 2013.
1. Embedding of the box on vertical metal profiles
4. Storage sections are created from these modules
2. Turning the box into a closed position
5. Turning the boxes into specific positions, eg. Vegetables
3. A box column creates a storage module
6. Product display/storage

CARTOON /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////// The King Himself ///// 2009 - 2011, Prague //// Regardless the world of visual perception, there is an experience, which cannot be shared with anyone else. This is the main topic of the comic "The King Himself.� It is about a blind boy who has the ability to enter a world not open to ordinary people. /// His pure world does not allow visual judgements. For the rest of us our sight can sometimes be a disadvantage, not allowing us to focus on real merits. I wanted to illustrate a world that is perceived completely differently. Let the context be described // from a deserving perspective that lets the detail remain rational - just as how a blind man walks through a city. /
