TOMAS KOZELSKY 27. 03. 1986 I was born in Ostrava, Czech Republic where I reside till my high-school attendance. At the age of 15 I became an inhabitant of dormitory of Mathematical high-school in BĂlovec where I studied for four years. Afterwards, I became a student of bachelor degree on Faculty of Architecture at University of Technology in Brno, Czech Republic. After the first year on university, I experienced four month of work in Washington D.C. which changed my entire approach to my future. This experience led to my consequent Erasmus stay in Marseille, followed by an internship in Berlin and my Master degree attendance on Faculty of Architecture of University of Technology in Delft, Netherlands. At this school I successfully obtained a Master degree followed by a title of Architect gain by Dutch Bureau Architectenregister. Nowadays, I am freelancing architect, searching for an opportunity to broaden my knowledge and to contribute to development of architectonic endeavor. I am seeking for a good background to apply my skills and dedication.

S-FLUX: WORKSHOP SPACE client: Faculty of Art, VUT Brno. Czech Republic design development: 10.08.12 - 10.10.12 construction: 26.10.12 - 31.10.12 spot: Galerie 99, Brno, Czech Republic budget: 1400 € published: www.s-flux.ffa.vutbr.cz www.artalk.cz fotomisad.cz S - Flux exhibition was a presentation display of 15 studios of Faculty of Art of Technical University in Brno. Every studio had two days to create a performance or exhibition to explain the course of each of them. The main space consisted of an exhibition hall and a workshop. I was assigned to design the workshop space. I proposed an interior set enabling the groups of users to work inside and turn it into their mental maps. The primer idea was to allow users to “wrap” themselves inside of their research. Such a decision led me towards a complex piece establishing space in three dimensions. One wall of existing space contained two windows. Therefore was right side of the piece designed in a way to enable daylight to enter the main work-space. Rear flap of the structure covers almost entire wall which includes two impassable openings. This face serves mostly as a main screen. Upper flap was introduced to meet demands for a platform to place a beamer and sound-system on. Electricity installations needed for this kind of devices was led inside of the load-bearing construction. The final shape of a crystallized ribbon presents a dynamic gesture determined by accessible materials and budget. The main construction is made from pine-tree girders stiffened by a steel cable and outer cladding from perforated hardboards. The inside of the set is clad with carbon-polystyrene to provide a dark gray color and soft “pinable” material. Top of the work table is made from colored chipboard. The structure is a self-bearing unit. Unimaginable ways of usage coming from groups of artists (main users) convinced me to support the strength of a structure with steel-cable anchors leading to the ceiling.

BEMA: BERLIN EXTREME MOTION ACADEMY graduation project: Faculty of Architecture, TU Delft, Netherlands studio: Explore Lab 13 mentor: Robert Nottrot research tutor: John Heintz building technology tutor: Engbert van der Zaag design development: 08. 11 - 07. 12 award: Archiprix nomination presented: Archiprix exhibition, Bouwkunde, TU Delft, Netherlands published: repository.tudelft.nl Berlin Extreme Motion Academy is a graduation project established upon a research on typologies of extreme sports. These sports are mostly wrongly considered as a sub-cultural matter and therefore low architectural attention is payed to them. The project introduces a specialized facility which should offer a complex program for the preparation of athletes for competitions up to the world-cup level. In addition, it focuses on the research within the field of sport equipments, specialized health care and research on injuries caused by extreme sports. The program should be combined with sport events accessible to the public, both as a promotion enhancement of this sport branch as well as a funding element of the complex. My prior research revealed the social context of these sports, the complexity of the industry in beyond and their typological demands. The outcomes of this research allowed me to design a complex facility which considers all aspects of this phenomenon and introducing it to the architectural society. The chosen building site was the former army complex on top of Teufelsberg hill in Berlin. This abandoned radio-station offers amazing interior spaces, a very convenient position towards the city and most importantly, its well connected to the existing exterior sport-grounds. These slopes are dedicated to gravity sport such as ski-jump (former ski-jump arena) and downhill/freeride biking (bike-park). The BEMA project underlines the already exhisting advantages of the location and structures by the designed extensions. The most developed part of the design is the so called Indoor Base, in which the research (mentioned above) and the architectural design come together. This facility is dedicated to the preparation of athletes. Here, the interior space simulates all the possible interior and exterior conditions together with their spatial corelations in order to create a convenient and at the same time safe sport-ground of a new type.

RESEARCH ON TYPOLOGIES OF EXTREME SPORTGROUNDS: PRESENTATION POSTER 3500x900
Diagram explains definition of extreme sport. Describes them, divides them into disciplines and tracking their relevancy within a society. The research continues up to description of their typological needs and transforming this knowledge into a collection of rules, which are further used as a designing tool for following project.
BEMA COMPLEX: SITUATION
Main body of the BEMA complex has a triangular shape. Southern wing serves as promotional building opened for public., east wing provides mostly maintanance services and north wing is dedicated to athletes. Wings form a triangular arena used for open-air sport events.
INDOOR BASE: PRESENTATION POSTER 4200x900
The main poster for final presentation of the BEMA project focuses on solution of Indoor Base within three main production lines: Architecture&Typology, Materialisation, Construction and impact of Research on them. More complex interior typology demanded alternative way of presenting. Therefore mostly opened 3D models are used to explain interior spatial relations. For better understanding are details presented in 3D perspective views as well.
BEMA COMPLEX: SOUTH ELEVATION
The complex is focused on high-end extreme sports. Therefore it should be able to bring the world-level competitions and events [drawing shows usage of exterior spaces as a foundation for a freestyle snowboarding competition Air & Style]. In comparison with natural conditions, BEMA offers much more interesting viewpoints for the audience, and better background for athletes. Main ideology of the project is to create a sanctuary of extreme sports. An academy which contains all fields of the phenomenon and represents it on the highest level possible.
INDOOR BASE: THE CAVE
The Cave is a part dedicated to mountaineering sports such as climbing, rapelling and bouldering.

Primary and secondary layouts of interior typologies are focused on more demanding interior functions as are the gravity sports. The Flow zone merges downhill gravity slopes with pump tracks to create rideable space for a big scale of athletes.
INDOOR BASE: FOAM PIT
Visualizations are enhanced with movement diagrams to explain more complex way of motion. These diagrams describes a velocity speed, main vector settings, its anchor points and a set of disciplines which defines typology of certain obstacle or track.
RELICT HOOD: POST-APOCALYPTIC SHELTER academic work: Faculty of Architecture, TU Delft, Netherlands course: De Abri / Shelter tutor: Bernard Olsthoorn design development: 05. 11 - 07.11 presented: exhibition Architecture of Fiction, Forum 4AM, Brno, Czech Republic Pecha Kucha night, 19. 12. 12, Brno, Czech Republic published: www.relicthood.blogspot.com Relict Hood is an academic project focused on small structures providing a “shelter” function. The first step of the course was a definition of such a function. The panic period of “The end of the World 2012” pushed me towards a different grasp of the theme. I started to work with a topic of devastated world emerging from a smoke of an apocalyptic stroke. Shattered remains of human kind are crawling out of ruins of nowadays empires and they are seeking for a shelter providing them all they need to rise again. I started with a research on possible scenarios to enable me to design upon an objective facts. I took about 200 narratives (books, movies, researches, predictions, etc.) and I found their common points. In the end, six main scenarios were established: Natural Catastrophes, Failure of a Social Structure, Pandemic, Misalignment of Earth from its Orbit, The Hell (considering religious predictions) and Conditions Unacceptable for Surviving. The scenarios became the main determinants of a module shape development. The final outcome is presented as a survival unit for post-apocalyptic conditions, providing basic needs of nowadays people. Very broad research, a lot of employed gadgets and features, and interesting visual outcome, turned the project popular. Thanks to the “Architecture of Fiction” exhibition it appeared in television, radio and many e-magazines. And two days before the predicted end of the world it is going to be presented on a Pecha Kucha night in Brno. Well, to late!

Natural catastrophes is a scenario which design the volumetry the most. Shape and construction has to succumb to extreme and changeable demands of conditions happening in surrounding.
Pandemic scenario affects mainly way of basic equipment. Shelter should provide highly hygienic environment to prevent further spreading of infection. This contain filtration of incoming resources or maintainability of unit itself.
EXhale system provides controlled ventilation, air-circulation with heat recuperation and smoke exhaust
Responsive Intelligent Skin uses passively the heat from sunlight to cool inner spaces, collect energy and water Main entrance
Aerodynamic shape to preserve high-speed wind conditions
Hollow bottom allows structure to flow on a water without turning
Air circulation has to be controlled by filtration system in floor and able to be ventilated
All possible sources of water are filtrated through filtration hub (same as air)
Suspended foundation system absorb quake
Levering of structure protects its content from movable and/or dangerous bedrock
Easy maintainability improves cleaning up qualities (to provide hygienic environment)
Unit contains basic medical equipment
Suspended Foundation System
Failure of a social structures contain mainly a presence of an enemy. Besides low eye attraction and high protection of interior content units should also be transportable for ways towards new resources and connectable for creation of possible settlements.
MODULE: FEATURES
Connection Hub Settlement kit allows bigger amount of modules to be connected and so specialized their functions within a bigger system
Every module is equipped with few basic features providing the basic needs of nowadays people. All features are passive base, therefore no energetic income is needed. Module contains a socket-hub though, and so it can be connected to any circulation (electricity, gas, water, air). More about the features can be found in the Diagrams: Shape Determinants and Energetic Scheme.
SCENARIO: CONTAMINATION
The project is presented through images presenting possible scenarios. The picture above depicts usage of units as a machinery base. Because soil and air are polluted with dangerous chemicals, people needs to run deep-mined vibration pumps to gain non-contaminated water.
Movability
Protection
Invisibility [mimicker]
Misalignment from Earth’s orbit is the most difficult scenario to forecast. Planets conditions will rapidly change and therefore is need to preserve non-changing climate (at least not that rapidly) in interior of units.

Conditioning gadgets adjusting
DIAGRAM: SHAPE DETERMINANTS
The table above explains influence of four of main six scenarios on shape and equipment of the unit. For more information use a zoom-in tool.
SCENARIO: FAILURE OF SOCIAL STRUCTURE
In the case of failure of social structure, cannibalism will probably occur. An empty shelter during a hard times may serve as a decoy. Is it just better to get a module with a certificate of warranty.

Our team took as the main theme the deforestation of Brazilian rain-forests. We found out that the strongest way to protect forests against this happening is to rise awareness of wealthier layers (which are able to change the course of events). Nowadays phenomenon of free time activities is an adrenalin tourism. Such a trip is obviously more consumptive and therefore only small amount of people can afford it. On the other hand, some scientific element was needed. The scientific background was suppose to collect information of biological changes in the highly exposed area and transform them into an awareness mediated to visitors. Reciprocally, the tourism should bring funding for the scientific research. The cycle mentioned above brought us towards the main function of our design. The vertical setting into a high-rise structure enable the research of different levels of a rain-forest and offered demanded background for a hotel, educational and research facilities.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEME: TITANIUM WOOD LATTICE
During our research on building materials, we encountered the Titanium Wood process. The process is an enhancement of wood via application of acetic anhydride to produce acetylated wood. Such a wood provides much better qualities in load-bearing, especially in humid conditions. Building parts are created from laminated wood pieces, and so allows various scale of producible shapes.
PERSPECTIVE: ENVIRONMENT
The structure should be placed on the boarder of a forest and deforested areas to enable visitors to encounter actual damages.
PERSPECTIVE: CLOSE-UP
The structure should merge with surrounding nature and support its biotype.
PERSPECTIVE: NIGHT SCENE The night scene shows airiness of the building.
VILLA LAOS collaboration: ILA office, Amsterdam, www.ilovearchitecture.nl project leader: Remi Versteeg design development: 01. 12 - 03.12 stage of construction: in progress published: www.ilovearchitecture.nl Villa in Laos is a building which contains two houses. Dutch office ILA (Amsterdam), designed the object as a vertical, fourth floor tall tower. The shape was necessary because of extremely small building plot. By the time I gained the participation at the project, the rough fabric of the building was done. My task was to design the interior installations and main built-in furniture, which clad the vertical core of the house. Beside of closets, I introduced openings which provided spaces for other interior functions as work space, kitchen desk, home studio space or a glove shell. The build-in structure also contains the air-condition, light installations and electrical sockets for devices as oven, microwave, TV or a computer. The materialization of the object merges the teak wood laminated boards with white refined wood boards.

BOIJMANS VAN BEUNINGEN: DEPOSITORY academic work: Faculty of Architecture, TU Delft, Netherlands studio: Materialization and Design Development, Materialization studio director: Kees Kaan tutor: Ber Mooren building technology tutors: Hubert van der Meel, Engbert van der Zaag design development: 09. 10 - 01.11 The main point of the MADD studio was to lead us further than it is usual in a school project. All conceptual works were done in quite short term, but it provided very genuine and strong results. The extension leads towards solving of build-up issues, and to design construction system fitting our design. The assignment asked for the design of depository for Boijmans van Beuningen art collection. Main point of program was the depo space (8200 square meters) with additional workshops as a restoration, handling, photo workshop, registration desk and research. The extension of this complex was a gallery and sculpture garden. All object should provide parking lot with 30 parking places. Building site was picked up in Masshaven, southern part of Rotterdam. This site is in the axes of future city development. The first step after analysis of the site was the program development. Program was already given, therefore its layout needed to be set. I tried to describe all the steps within a diagram. The main aim of this step was to establish final scheme which could easily determine the volume. Next step was an application on the first volumetry of all needs, features, restrictions and boundaries that the industrial strip provides, to underlined all the qualities of assigned site. But even this composition wasn't coherent enough to create strong-gesture volume. The final step was a design of a main load-bearing system and facade. I focused on a stiff metal framework which allowed me to use big spans, necessary for manipulation with bigger art pieces within the interior. The most important feature of the construction was a column system. The column was a cluster of four smaller rounded columns. Such a set-up allowed me to use smaller diameters with keeping the same stiffness, and use columns the same way I could use squared ones. This columns are made from shorter parts which are inserted into each other. Their stability is provided by interlink which also serve as a hub for horizontal construction. The construction is stiffed by draw-bars going through certain sections, not to affect the fluency of circulation or insulation.

RIVERSIDE: POLYFUNCTIONAL HOUSE bachelor project: Faculty of Architecture, VUT Brno, Czech Republic project tutor: Jan Kratochvil design development: 02. 10 - 06. 10 Riverside: Polyfunction house project is my bachelor work. The building spot was assigned to be a corner building situated on the riverside of Prerov city, Czech Republic. Its position fills the shape of a block created by functionalist volume of a gym hall. The project should not only round off the block, but bring a new functions to regulate the spots of interests within the city. The neighborhood pf the plot offers many facilities focused on a free time, education, physical activities and housing. Anyway, they miss the central point to unite them, and so create a new center of the city. The place itself offers luxurious views on the surrounding and therefore housing function lied ready to hand. To shade away all displeasing effects brought by a very vivid street, I erected all main volume one floor above the ground-level which fall to commercial and manipulation functions. The dimensions of the plot allowed me to enrich the volume with semipublic exteriors. Two lower volumes surrounding the semipublic yard offered convenient spaces to other two functions: small local library and a gym. The yard can be entered straight from the street by a staircase or through a corner restaurant going through two levels up to the yard. The project extended my awareness of a bigger scale, which proved to be very beneficial.

The assignment of the competition asked to maintain the existing building in the original look. Therefore we took it as determining for the appearance of the new parts. Since I contribute to the project only as an intern, I am not able to describe all designing processes. On the other hand I was a part of works on the main gesture of the building which is a lobby. Existing building contained a helical staircase. At the back wall of the building. New object was connected in the section of the staircase, and so extended the lobby space around this vertical circulation. Sufficient amount of floor area allowed us to open six floors to create tall lobby space accessible from two different levels. In the end, we designed high space, opening a view on dominant staircase in very strong gesture.

GIUDECCA: HOUSING academic project: workshop collaboration with: Jonathan Cacchia, Julien Darbon design development: 01. 09, 03.09 stage of construction: in progress www.ilovearchitecture.nl At the beginning of the second semester of my Erasmus exchange studies at ENSA Marseille, I participated at the workshop in Venice. Main goals of this happening was to revitalize part of southern edge of Giudecca isle in the south of the city. First stage of work happened during one week long stay in Venice. My teammates proposed to focus on city center urban typology an use its language. In the end of this stage we decided to keep existing buildings (two warehouses, chimney and two old cranes) which might be used to enhance the urban appearance, extend existing urban axes and the volumetry would be follow "Venice" rules. The second stage of the workshop took the place in Marseille. In case of our project we moved from urban towards the architectural scale. We focused more on typological solution of different types of flats and their layout, materialization and spatial division of our site. Decision to keep all existing objects comes from their unique features. Long warehouse was designed to provide a shelter to a fish market (responding to opening towards open Venice lagoon) which might be extended outside into the public space. Smaller workshop was redesigned to serve as a kindergarten. Both old cranes were defined as a vertical gardens (responding to the lack of greenery in Venice) and old chimney enhanced with perforation and turbines to provide certain amount of energy for the kindergarten (sustainability issue). All surrounding buildings (housing) were wrapped into a second facade to contain the idea of Venice urban plan. The space between second facade and main building serves as an semi-public space on the entering side and as private spaces on the side facing towards seaside. All flats are accessible from a porch placed in between the second facade and main volume. To fortify an expression of Venice streets we designed a gabion grill filled with broken bricks on the inland side of second facade and to preserve the harbor face on seaside we used corrugated steel plates here. Very useful lesson of international relationships and group work.

freelance work: graphic designer for Choc collaboration: since 2010 competition: 1st prize production: in progress published: www.choc.cz In the year 2010, the company Choc Technology asked me to take a part in a competition for snowboard designs. After winning the first prize, my collaboration with the company continued. I became a freelance graphic designer. Since the competition, I introduced two snowboard and one kite-surf collections. I spent few days in the production plant during the summer 2012, and so broaden my knowledge about the production. I found my collaboration with the Choc company very refreshing and gainful. The image above presents the snowboard collection for winter 2012/2013.
