WESTERN TOWN FRESH BREATH FOR PRAGUE Expansion of the cities and construction of infrastructure have resulted into interruption of historical routes, water ways and created an artificial barrier in the landscape. The topic of our work is recovery of rational harmony between Prague and its western periphery - restoration of transparency of the area and finding the balance of urban development on one side and preserving the traditional cultural countryside on the other side.
What is the development perspective of Prague periphery with the dimension of the half of inner city?
Western town surrounded by water-sheds
Western town and Prague 13 in the metropolitan area Western town and Prague 13 and “green fingers� of Prague Ring of villages around the Western town

TOPICS

METHOD
How to relate to highway ring? How to cross it? What is the role of Jeremiášova street in the town/landscape interface? Shall it act as the border of the build-up area or shall the town spread over it? Path networking, permeability. What is the desired image of a village in the metropolitan area? What is the development perspective of a village in the metropolitan area? How should new estates look like? Western town as a palimpsest. Layering of forces and elements, contributing to its image. We set up a clear key to describe each of the places. Surfaces, lines and points on x-axis, continuous scale built/unbuilt on y-axis. Given the topics we choose four specific interventions, whereby we demonstrate design principles for the whole territory. The overall plan then covers the area with acupuncture spots, interconnected by newly designed path network and have positive impact onto the future development.

CONCERT HALL FOR PRAGUE 2013 studio Ondřej Císler and Tomáš Oth
New house for Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, firstclass concert hall in the capital city. The main objective is acoustical quality for symphonic performance. The layout of big auditorium - vineyards - brings more intense experience for visitors but also poses a very specific spatial form. The complex shape of the auditorium mass, expressive but fully rational, is the HEART of the building. This is enclosed by subtle skin of foyer and facade. Wide slabs hanging around allow for a circulation of the visitors and offer views into the surrounding trees.

PRAGUE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM 2011/2012 bachelor’s diploma project studio 1+xx Roman Koucký and Edita Lisecová
Archaeological museum, meeting current standards first class exhibition spaces, supplemented with archives, study rooms and offices. Project is situated at Prague - Těšnov, on a site vacant since the 1970’s highway construction. New building will get in direct touch with the former neo-reinassance house.

research zázemí services provoz
Programme of the building is set by Prague Municipal Museum. Besides that, an underground capacity parking is designed in order to utilize the proximity to main railway station, bus terminal, metro station and urban highway, together with city center at a walking distance.
3.NP 1.PP
Rich collections are taken out of depositories and become the focus of attention. The most precious artifacts are on display in the very center of the capital city. Permanent collections are vitalized by catching demonstrations and attractive temporary exhibitions Visitors are offered a rest in the café or a shop, or they can get further insight in a library. Prague Archaeological Museum is the place of amusement and education for the whole family.
1.NP
Composition of the building reflects the site and outer elements. Edges are oriented towards neighboring houses and create two “V” shaped spaces - monumental entrance at one side and more intimate park at the other one. In between two wings is enclosed atrium into which is the building oriented into. Dividing the building equates the duality of the programme an exhibition space and research space under one roof. The atrium is crossed by several bridges, connecting the halves into one complex. 4.NP

CABINET 12,5 m2 2013 competition entry “Cities without smog”
We propose universally functional and easily movable furniture for the space of 1 parking lot 5×2,5 m - 12,5m2. Chair, table, chaise, book shelf, flower pot/hanger and trash bin.
collaboration with Klára Pohlová
Six pieces of furniture, which can be used for various scenarios. It is not a definitive set but rather an open and flexible platform to be used under different conditions. Prefabrication as fiberglass concrete shell using the TX Active technology makes each piece stable, robust and durable. Elementary forming is true to the material, increases the utility and acts as a simple mediator of spontaneous human activities. Furniture is equipped with wheels and holes for easy manipulation, water draining or standing a bicycle.

TRILOBITE PAVILION 2011
Parametric design of pavilion roofing is an algorithm building symmetrical vaulted structure upon given input (ground plan shape). Final shape follows two principles: sine-curve along the longitudal axis and statically efficient parabola in cross section. Using the interval of a sinecurve gives the pavilion dynamics in the shape and modify the general disposition - different part of interval generate completely different spatial layout. Planar elements folded along the ribs are based on origami techniques. Besides their attractive visual appearance, they also allow opening of the side walls and contribute to overall structural rigidity.

DELTA DYNAMICS 15 - 29. 8. 2011 workshop/summer school Rotterdam Academie van Bouwkunst participation in workshop was supported by Stanislav Hanzl scholarship, CTU
Strategic vision for a part of Dutch Delta, elaborated under guidance of Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design in collaboration with authorities. In reaction to catastrophic flooding of 1953 was the coast enclosed into complex of dams and basins. Artificial ecosystems tend to decay and the area stagnates. Dam opening and technological interventions need to be accompanied by residential, recreational and agricultural projects. Two week long workshop of international students and young professionals was to work out a vision, a complex strategic plan of sustainable development of this unique territory in 21st century.
FOUR ELEMENTS OF STRATEGIC VISION
Brouwersdam area – first hub – support for strong touristic potential, capitalization of North Sea coastal conditions for all-year round activities; strengthening the role of the hub and connection with the ocean
Grenvelingendam area – second hub – capitalization of “3 waters border” – salt lake, Rhine estuary and next Delta’s bay; strengthening the role of the hub
Inland area – connecting the lake with next bay with a channel, improving water management by creation of network of freshwater channels; capitalization of present hospital
Central area – capitalization of new wetlands by construction of innovative Eco-farming and aqua-farming facilities
hub as a starting place for experiencing the lake and respective activities
cycling paths, nature trails, spontaneous access to wild nature
creation of channel network, improvement of water management, enabling communication and leisure, support of agriculture and agro-tourism
