Waterfront Hybrid Master’s Thesis I doc. Ing. arch. M. Zitnansky, PhD.
The aim of the Master´s Thesis was to create floating elements that would widen the city waterfront and enrich it with new facilities. Its morphology acts as an open landscape where facilities like bathing, wellness, bar and a multi-purpose plateau adaptable to various events such as markets, performances, exhibitions etc. are implemented. The concept is based on variability and mobility of individual crystals, which can be arranged in various formations on request of the public. These crystals are ment to connect with events that take place on the bankside and also to become a performance itself during the transformations.

The Grid This at the first sight irregular grid was chosen to become a pattern in which individual blocks can be arranged. The roof landscape was designed to be continuous in maximum number of possible arrangements of the blocks.

Winter Harbour Urban Design Studio I doc. Ing. arch. M. Zitnansky, PhD. Team members: Katarina Chalaniova Matej Kollar Peter Kuklica Patrik Kuva
Winter Harbour in Bratislava is nowadays inefficiently used and collapsing industrial area, though it has a great potential to become one of the most attractive places in town especially because of the potential of it’s water surfaces, unique atmosphere, and also because of relatively short distance from the historical centre of the city. Our aim was to create a continuation of the riverside, cultural and city axis by creating at the first place a personal relationship to the place through interventions and attractors, and afterwards by sequential creation the urban layout using several fundamental principles such as, presentation of genius loci, adaptation of valuable architectural heritage, creation of human scale spaces, creation of wide palette of options, supporting diversity, adaptability and continuity to achieve maximal synergy with the existing and new city structure and people that are and will be living in it.

The use of the old Winter Harboure in Bratislava is economically unsustainable. Though, it’s location is perfect for future development of the city. It is necessary to revitalize the premises, open it to public and revitalize the valuable industrial buildings at the first place.
Winter Harboure - The Current Situation
Gardens and flower beds attracts the passerbyers and provides a place for relaxation. The containers indicates the future street facade and serves for public interventions
Grass areas serve for public cultural events, art performances etc. They also indicate the future steert pattern

BLIB Bratislava City Library Design Studio I doc. Ing. arch. M. Zitnansky, PhD.
Concept of BLIB - Bratislava City Library - located on “Šafárikovo námestie” is based on minimizing the ground level built-up area of the new structure and creating a small suburbanism within the existing city structure which supports public flow in all directions. In the past, there was a classic style palace called “Landererov” with representative front and private back garden. The palace was demolished in 1944 after the air attack on the refinery Apollo. Today, only the front garden has preserved it’s historical value. The concept of two gardens is re-used in the new library layout, though they are connected with each other and the new structure acts as a free flow hub. There are four blocks with different programmes connected by multifunctional underground premises.

Cubic Zirconia Bachelor’s Thesis I Ing. arch. Alžbeta Sopirová, CSc. 2nd Place in The Best Urban Project Student Competition I Spatial Planning Department FA ČVUT in Prague
Krupina city is historically one of the most significant cities in Slovakia. One can say, it is a jewel, or a diamond among the other cities, though it has lost its glamour during last centuries. Aim of the Bachelor’s Thesis was to redesign the main public space in the city, the Holy Trinity Square. The name of the project “Cubic Zirconia” was inspired by the synthetically produced substi-tution for real diamonds thus it metaphorically substitutes the lost glamour of the place using architectural tools. The main motive of the design is a square shape. These squares are arranged in a regular grid, which has become distorted, indicating the diagonal movement of pedestrians. The square can accommodate various seasonal programmes such as cultural events, funfairs, free time activities, Christmas market with ice skating etc. The design of the street furniture is ascetic to support the medieval character of the place.

Our proposal is based on creating three individual Trimo modules which can be arranged in various compositions depending on the sites. They can be placed separately near bike roads or in different compositions in streets or on squares. The site on Dunajska street situated on the top of a bankside surrounded by greenery is ideal to accomodate a star-shaped composition. Each container fits a different program. The first container consists of a snack bar with a restroom with a built-in water tank and a trash bin. Second one contains a lounge space with wireless hot spot, charging appliances and comfortable seatings. The third one represents an open space shelter for charging electric bikes with bike stands and there is also a place for repair or topping up a tire pressure. The middle atypical unit fits a massive hanger with cashe treasure.

Legendary brewery “Světovar” in Pilsen closed down in 1933. Since then it’s premises were rented for stock purposes, the buildings and the area became squalid. Its revival came with artists and local activists who started to use it for cultural events. As the city of Pilsen was proclaimed to be the European Capital of Culture 2015, improvement of the cultural activities started to be a large scale issue, several competitions were announced. Our proposal is significant for its pneumatic structure that acts as space between the outer and the inner space of art, it connects the ground with the most valuable top floors with views, brings ephemeral experience while rising up, represents the connection with ordinary every day world and the upper mind world of fantasy. The organic and transparent reversible walkway is in contrast with the rest of the brewery, it highlights it’s architecture. It has also an ambition to become an icon for the future culture in Pilsen not only in local but also in European scale.

Fire+Wine+Spirit+Body Contemporary Slovak House I FA STU in Bratislava, Foibos Bohemia o.p.s. Team members Katarina Chalaniova Lenka Ilova Filip Kandravy
Our proposal was inspired by classical Slovak longitudinal type of family house with a porch oriented to the South. The new design consists of a main living module and optional number of additive modules on request. These modules can be attached or removed from the main module as the number of the members living in the house changes. The main module consists of a living room, kitchen, master room and a study. The additive module consists of a bedroom with loggia on the second floor and an open air car stands underneath it. The most important element in the house - the fireplace is situated in the middle of the main module, The Wine cellar, a reminiscence on wine tradition in Slovakia represents a place for cheerfull meetings in the basement opened to an underground atrium. A space for wellness and a gym are situated around the atrium and they represent the spaces where human Spirit and Body can be refreshed.

PKO - well known Park of Culture and Recreation in Bratislava is nowadays abandoned and under the threat of demolishing. Opinions on this fact vary among architects and also among people. There were several petitions against the demolition, until a student competition was announced. In the name of previous affairs we propose to build a glass monument for the building sentenced to death which would literally preserve the most valuable part of it - the foyer. The glass cube would also act as a monument for other valuable architectures which were already illegally demolished. We also believe in the reorganisation of the program content of PKO which is nowadays undoubtedly unsuitable. We propose to adapt the PKO to new, more extrovert programmes such as open space cafes, shops, galleries, studios etc. To add more life to this area we designed floating homes to create a mixture of different uses. To make the visitors stop and retain on the new embankment we designed new public landscape.

Rubacuori Erba Bathroom Reconstruction
The main idea of the new design was to create a fresh and spacious bathroom within 1,6 m wide 1,87 m long and 2,65 m high space. This was a quite challenging task especially when a bath and a washing-machine were to be included. A light green colour was chosen to instigate a fresh morning feeling and also to optically widen the space. Enlarged horizontally oriented tile format with light stripes also did the widening effect. The most dominant element in the bathroom is the mirror wall with several niches. These niches has different usages such as a shelf with a mirror, a special shelf for shower gels, and a niche for washing machine. The surfaces of the wall are made of gliterring green mosaic. The most desirable feature in the bathroom is the option of an atmospheric indirect light hidden at the top of the wall, which makes the bathing even more relaxing.
