ROOF EXTENSION PRIVATE CLIENT, 2010 PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC The assignment involved designing an apartment with its own entrance on top of the clients’ parents house, which was built in the 1970s and is home to two generations.

The design needed to address the issue of very poor load bearing walls. The solution was to use light insulated timber structure.

The simple asymmetrical form follows the shape of the original house. Its inclined roof rises on the south-west side - the side of the kitchen, dining room and children’s room and this enhances the importance of those spaces.

At present, the project is under consideration and awaiting approval.

COMMUNITY CENTER LETENSKÉ SQUARE

DIPLOMA PROJECT AOC ATELIER, MgA.ONDŘEJ CÍSLER, ing.arch.TOMÁŠ OTH, 2014 CZECH TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC Letenské Square - a triangular site severly polluted by traffic, that forms the main public space of the whole district is being occupied by a supermarket.

Can we consider it a square, as its name states? Then why is the most of if used for private commecial purposes? Isn’t a supermarket an ideal result of the search for a public meeting place nowadays?

At the beginning, there was an important question whether to demolish and build or leave the space open. The importance of a square is determined by variety and multiplicity of plots and stories happening within.

My answer to the task given is a 100% public always-open and welcoming institution offering a wide range of activities for all generations. A building as a meeting place for a very strong and active local community.

The market is displaced under ground, so people can still go shopping as they are used to. Moreover, they are now able to comprehend the wholeness of the square, because most of it is left vacant. Only for the center, which stands right in the middle, so it doesn’t turn its back to anyone. The basic form is very simple, yet it offers a number of spaces with different articulation and meanings.

SOUTHWEST VIEW

CONCEPTION

1_SUPERMARKET UNDER GROUND First and foremost - lets place the non-sensual supermarket with all its administration and supplies under ground so we have a space to work with.

2_TRANSPARENCY

3_ARCADE

is the main idea of the whole project. There are several important issues that are closely connected - the feeling of being safe and the ability to comprehend easily the surroundings, so people can identify themselves with the space.

forms the parterre. Its arches are ideal load bearing solution for keeping the space open and transparent. It forms a vault. The parterre serves as an entrance to the center and supermarket plus a cafĂŠ.

4_FOUR FLOORS plus a flat roof covers the spatial needs of the center. The volume doesn’t grow taller than its surroundings. The center with his inhabitants fits into the square.

5_WOOD x CONCRETE The building is divided into two material parts with different effect. The parterre is composed of monolithical concrete vault - to express strong foundations, while the upper floors are designed as a light timber frame structure exposed from the interior in order to achieve soft, warm and sensual feeling.

6_SPATIAL DIFFERENTIATION Thanks to the timber frame structure, the spaces can be easily changed into desired shape and size like a library that is three storey high or a two storey high multipurpose hall.

7_THE ROOF is not forgotten. It would be an absolute waste to let 500 m2 lay intact, with views that are available.

There is a meek steel net set up around the whole roof, that ensures safety for kids playing or for occasional BBQ party.

8_THE FACADE is very tectonical. It is inspired by the surrounding facades, most of which had been designed in the first half of the 20th century with strict order rules.

The window shapes are derived from golden section and the facade changes its appearance with height.

9_MODULE of the house is 10x10 meters, which is halved for timber part in order to be efficient. Facade timber columns are doubled so an additional layer of thermal insulation could be added in between.

Spatial stiffness is acomplished by using reinforced concrete core along with diagonal steel cords preventing horizontal and vertical distortion.

9_OVERVIEW

was also chosen for the speed of construction with a social overlay, where future community center inhabitants can literally observe and discuss the whole process. That is a very important starting point, when people within the community start interacting before the center is actually built.

The appearance is completed by adding landscape, sun screens and marquees, rooftop greenhouse and material differentiation.

ORCHARD WITHIN A CITY - KLÁROV SQUARE ing.archJEHLÍK STUDIO, 2011 CZECH TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC Prague’s Klárov Square lies directly in front of the famous Prague castle. It is one of the most neglected public spaces in the whole city. Its place in the city’s history is of unsurpassed importance.

This one semester project consisted of two parts: the first half was to come up with the first stage design, in the second half to compose and draft a construction project.

The idea is to use the whole polygon of the square, which is bounded by noisy roads and to give it a new role in the community. Using my knowledge of the city and what I learned from my research, I designed a fruit orchard. By flattening the terrain and raising it 1,6 meters, I can make it easy for people to orient themselves. The next stage involves creating a pleasant environment. This means laying down turf and planting cherry trees and other shrubs. The result: a place where everyone can sit or lie down and gaze up at Prague Castle.

A geometrical grid of trees ensures views to the three most remarkable sights in this place: the river, Petřín Hill with Eiffel Tower-like lookout and Prague castle.

The access to the orchard is via four sets of granite steps, which can be used in multiple ways. They lead onto platforms with benches, from where paths lead people to the middle of the orchard. Access for the disabled is provided by ramps next to each set of steps.

NĂ KLO HILLTOP COMMISSIONED BY MICROREGION NOVY DVUR 2015, SOUTH MORAVIA, CZECH REPUBLIC This project follows up on architectural competition for lookout tower set onto the same place.

NĂĄklo stands proud in a beautiful vine region of Southern Moravia. The hill itself is surrounded by four villages, whose citizens actively take part in frequent folklore celebrations, feasts and concerts. Not only it stands in the middle, it is the meeting point, the dominant they look upon. Moreover, the rumor has it that the hill used to be a dwelling of czech kings of old times.

In the present, the hilltop area looms empty, vast space owned by the microregion without any sense, purpose or defined idea.

Despite the fact it is a crossroad of historical connections, there is no reason to stop.

The goal of this design is to - without any artificial or violent means - establish a recreation area which local people could identify themselves with and would let them exploit the full potential of the hilltop through all seasons; a place to stop, inhale and experience the perfection of surrounding landscape.

principle

The first of this design is the ‘multiplity of choices’ - I believe, that inhabitants of a public space should be given freedom by the design and its qualities to find their own ways of utilizing space, that the design should encourage its users to choose what to do in the actual area depending on current mood, time of a day, season. In other words, good design should not tell people what to do but inspire.

The second important principle is the ‘open-end’. The project does not pretend arrogantly to completely understand the local population.

Instead of over-defining every square meter on the site, most of the site has been left blank deliberately - let the proud locals find the proper use in time and develop it by themselves and become even prouder locals! On the other hand, a solid base layer is desirable, ideally formed by connections.

But who can tell what the future brings on its wings?

At first, the terrain gets moulded, earth is formed into fourteen Hills at the central part of the site as an analogy to The Way of the Cross and its fourteen stations. These hills differ in size and shape, create valleys and slopes, and the vegetation will be left for the nature to take care off. In time, beautiful garden will grow by itself as if the soil has never been touched by human. Someone can percieve these hills as ancient ruins of long lost empire, for someone else it might seem as if one is walking among distant hills rolling on the horizon.

A Path, running through the hills from east to west, winds through the whole area paralel to the road to the south. It is the base layer, a thread for beads to tighten onto. It consists of many curves and turns, as our path in life is full of turns and twists, but it does not have any sidetracks to distract. It lets one to slow down, take a breath and explore the world around us, as well as the one within ourselves. The natural grit surface feels gentle.

Two Focal points of the whole area are created - an amphitheatre made of solid white concrete blocks arrayed into semi-circle in the east part, where folklore singing and performances happen; and a lookout on top of the tallest hill to provide the best views, ensuring the best place for the possible lookout tower construction. Both the amphitheatre and the lookout are directly connected to the Path and to the road on the south side ensuring smooth access.

In this project, Sustainability is achieved by natural and humane approach. Trees growing on the site has been left to grow untouched, as well as grass and wild meadow weeds providing natural environment for animals. Everything that has been designed has been though off as a low-maintenance, originating from local sources - from hardwood timber benches to potential sculptures and artefacts coming from local art schools and studios...why not set a temporary art object on top of each of the hill, right next to where people lie down and sunbath?

SMÍCHOV BRIDGE ing.archKOUCKÝ STUDIO, 2012 CZECH TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC This project is the next stage of the Vision of Prague 20XX, which is shown in the final section os this portfolio.

The Vltava river is the life-force of Prague, yet both sides of the city are connected by only 14 bridges. I picked one of five areas shown in the Vision 20XX project, the one that is the closest to my heart, and continued working on it in greater detail.

This bridge connects the Smichov district on the left bank of the river with Podolí on the right bank, with the island as a central connecting point. The bridge is located in an under-used area of Prague. This design will encourage people to explore these historically important districts and lead to their future development.

To designe a bridge is not within the sphere of study in architecture schools. However, I wanted to explore this aspect of design to see if I could combine aesthetics and strict function.

STEEL BRIDGE PROFILE over the side basin The suspension bridge spans over 155 meters span with just one reinforced concrete pillar in the shape of reversed Y. The pillar is located at the western end and its shape provides a gateway for all transport.

The bridge beam is made of segmented steel profiles connected to each other, while held by multiple pre-stressed steel cords symmetrically on both sides. The other function of the cords is to divide the tram from other traffic.

The width of the bridge meets all security standards and norms and ensures safe service even in a case of emergency.

CONCRETE BRIDGE PROFILE over the main basin and Imperial meadow The bridge beam is made of monolithic prestressed concrete hollow profile, that spans over 320 meters divided into 7 parts, symmetrically aligned from the middle of the span. Each part’s span is reduced by 30% in order to maximally use static abilities of the structure.

Moreover, the thinness of the structure safely ensures the minimal dimensions necessary of the sail profile underneath the bridge.

The pillars are made of reinforced concrete with slightly deformed eliptical shape to enable ideal flow of water.

All measures, proportions and dimensions of profiles and spans were thoroughly discussed with static experts and study materials available in our university.

MINING DISTRICT VÍTKOVICE ing.archŠÉPKA STUDIO, 2010 CZECH TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC Ostrava is an industrial city powered by coal and one with a steel heart. The whole district of Vítkovice used to be the most famous mining and steelproducing area in the republic. It had been left to deteriorate for almost 60 years. Then three years ago the amazing old steelworks was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The area lies very close to the city’s historical centre and has undergone a long decontamination process. This was followed by the announcement of an open architectural competiton for the northernmost part, won by Rem Koolhaas and his OMA. Since then, construction of their winning desing has been in progress.

This project was a unique experience. Ostrava is a place with a different mindset than the rest of the country. Working with a team of four students with no appointed leader was a big challenge. However, the opportunity to create a design for an industrial heritage site was a temptation we could not resist.

The brief was very open with no restrictions. There was one condition though - we had to present and defend our work weekly in front of an audience consisting of 30 students and a group of invited architects.

POINTS OF INTEREST

FIRST INTERSECTION

SECONDARY INTERSECTION

Places of special meaning, with strong local character, will be given priority. These places define the basic and unchangeable skeleton for the future grid.

Imagine a circle whose radius is a comfortable walking distance. The plan proposes the construction of centres that lie within that distance.

To urbanize the whole area, the same method was applied once again. There are boundaries for the new district: highways on the west and south, the river on the east and old VĂ­tkovice district on the north.

RECIPE The project should serve as a key to how similar places in Ostrava should develop.

VISION Great cities were shaped by centuries. The passing of time ensured a rich heritage. We do not want to plan the whole city from scratch.

That would be too artificial. Instead, we wanted to design a clever grid, upon which a new city can grow in time.

BASIC ATTRIBUTE What afflicts many western cities? Nowadays, we speak about suburbanization. The world is polluted by cars. Let’s walk. The comfortable walking distance of an ordinary human is 450 meters / 5 minutes. This distance is the key to design of the new district.

UNESCO STEELWORKS The steelworks that dominates the landscape, is to be conserved and restored, so it can be used safely as a one of the largest museums in the world of its kind, as an unusual setting for cultural events.

Some parts, like the old gasholder, are to be transformed into a conference center.

INDUSTRY Light industry in the middle of the area still employs a lot of people. Why relocate it at huge cost when time will allow the industry to face itself out? The district will gradually change its character.

FILLING-UP

There are natural and artificial obstacles, that needs to be taken into account. Few centers of the grid has to be moved, while keeping the maximum distance of 450 meters.

Linear elements represent the main infrastructure - roads and pathways, underground technical corridors, gray and storm water drains and sewers.

At the beginning, the necessary infrastructure is built along the cores of the centers. These cores are designed to be able to operate at any stage, even before completion of the whole area. Each can be designed and built by various architectural studios.

The open space between centers will be developed into parks, playgrounds and other civic amenities.

Naturally, the grid is geometricaly imperfect.

THE CAMPUS The Technical University of Ostrava is the 4th biggest university in Czech Republic. Yet it lacks the representative and unifying campus.

At the moment, there are several venues thorough the city and students have to travel very long distances. Most of the venues are obsolete and inconvenient.

The new campus takes place in the historically significant part of the city close the UNESCO site. Students will be taught and live in the place which has given Ostrava’s city it’s name.

TOWN HALL The representative centre of the new district.

The designs of centers are not set. By the size, scale and structure of their buildings the project just describes what is happening in centers. Housing centers are similar to each other, while e.g. campus and sports centre are absolutely unlike. Their form is just an abbreviation of their function, not an exact design.

However, the important aspect of their design is easy orientation. It is desired that citizens are able to “see� the other center. If that is not provided, the walking distance would be useless.

VISION OF PRAGUE 20XX ing.archKOUCKÝ STUDIO, 2011 CZECH TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC This is an urbanisation project on the largest scale possible in the Czech Republic. Prague is a metropolitan city with 1.3M residents that is characterized by urban sprawl. Most of Prague’s visitors see just 1/20 of its area the historical center. What else is there?

The task was to thoroughly analyze and comprehend the complexity of the city organism with it’s natural, historical, economic and demographic aspects.

As a result, a Vision of Prague - how do I see the city in the future - needed to be formed.

It is important to say that I have lived in Prague for 25 years of my life. My vision is strongly subjective without any attempt to make it unbiased. Overall, that is how we were encouraged to approach the task The result may seem like a mishmash of colours, shapes and arrows, but each of these encapsulates an idea.

IT CREATES CONSTRICTED AND EXTENSIVE VALLEY WITH ROCKY SPURS ON Prague, nation’s history, is aWEST city with interesting geographical features. The River flows in the centre, creating narrow PLACE but IS UNBELIEVABLE 222m.

BOTH SIDES, FROMwhich WHICHreflects OTHERour VALLEYS SPREAD INTO AND EAST CREATED

BY MANY STREAMS. THE Vltava HEIGH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOWEST AND aUPMOST extensive valleyUNRESTRAINED with rocky spurs on both sides. Other valleys OF extend estward eastward, formed streams.The betweenWE its lowest THIS ASSISTED TO BUILD NON-GEOMETRICAL ORGANISM THE CITY BORNand WITH ATTRIBUTES TOby BEmany VERTICAL. PRAGUEdifference HUNDRED-SPIRED CALL IT. ENERGY AND STRUCTURE OF THE and is an unbelievable 222m. These features have WHERE given Prague vertical and non-geometric character.

“Hundred-spired is how CITY POURS INhighest RADIAL points DIRECTIONS THROUGH VALLEYS FROM CITY CENTER, IN THE its OPEN IT DISSOLVES. I RETURN BACK TO WHAT IS THE MOSTPrague” IMPORTANT - VLTAVA VALLEY. I HEAL PAINFUL we refer to our city.

From the city centre, structures spreaNEW to the valleys until theyHAS dissolve the wide I return toWOULD what isBE important the SPACES WITH THE PATCHES AND CONNECT BOTH RIVER BANKS WITH BRIDGES. PATCHES TO FITinINSIDE THEopen CITY spaces.

ORGANISM, THEY USELESS--ALONE...BY TRANSFORMATION OF CITY INFRASTRUCTURE NEW BOULEVARDS ARE LINKED TO THEM, ALONG WHICH THE OLD STRUCTURES ARE REVITALIZED. THE SECONDARY PURPOSE IS TO CONNECT CITY Vltava Valley. My aim here is to heal the spaces that are like open wounds. I heal them with the patches I design: new bridges that connect river banks, newIN EAST-WEST DIRECTION. boulevards linked to new infrastructure, and old structures that are revitalised. My second aim is to connect the city along the east-west axis.
