INTRODUCTION

AUSTRIAN CITY GRAZ IS DEVELOPING ITS IMAGE BASED ON AN ECOLOGIC AND SUSTAINABLE APPROACH REGARDING THE NEW CITY PROJECTS. IN THE END OF 2011, THE CITY INVITED SEVERAL AUSTRIAN STUDIOS TO PARTICIPATE ON THIS COMPETITION. THE SITE LIES IN THE SOUTH CITY SUBURBS, CLOSE TO THE ST.MARTIN CASTLE. AN IMPORTANT BIOCORRIDOR RUNS NEXT TO THE SITE, DEFINING ONE OF CONDITIONS FOR THE NEW DESIGN. THE TASK WAS TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE HOUSING COMPLEX, PROVIDING A HIGH QUALITY LIVING AND FITTING INTO A COMPLICATED URBAN SITUATION IN AN ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT ANY CHARACTERISTIC ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY. MORE OF A PARK THAN A CITY.

PARK

THE PUBLIC PARK IS A CONTINUATION OF THE SURROUNDING WOODLAND AREA. THE MAIN PART IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND PUBLIC RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. THE PARK IS OPEN TO BOTH RESIDENTS AND VISI-

THE LOGGIAS PROVIDE A PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE FOR APARTMENT RESIDENTS. THEY ARE ACCESSED FROM LIVING ROOM, MAXIMIZING CONNECTION WITH THE EXTERIOR.

COMPETITION

THE PARK FRAGMENTS BETWEEN SINGLE RESIDENTIAL UNITS SERVE APPROXIMATELY 300 RESIDENTS EACH. EVERY GROOVE HAS ITS OWN CHARACTER AND A LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR A STRONGER IDENTITY.

PUBLIC, SEMI-PRIVATE AND PRIVATE AREAS ARE ON DIFFERENT HEIGHT LEVELS FOR THEIR BETTER DISTINCTION, HOWEVER ALWAYS UNIFIED BY VEGETATION.

THE COURTYARDS BETWEEN THE HOUSES SERVE TO APPROXIMATELY 100 RESIDENTS. IT IS A SPACE FOR CHILDREN’S PLAY, AN OUTDOOR CINEMA OR PRIVATE GARDENS.

THE PARK WORKS AS A STRUCTURE OF A CONTINUOUS GREEN PUBLIC SPACE WITH SEMIPRIVATE ISLANDS DEFINING INDIVIDUAL, CHARACTERISTIC GROOVES BETWEEN THEM.

CONCEPT

WATER USE

THE AMOUNT OF USED WATER IS REDUCED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. RAINWATER IS COLLECTED FOR TOILET FLUSHING. GREYWATER IS BEING BIOLOGICALLY FILTERED AND USED FOR THE PARK IRRIGATION.

MICROCLIMATE

THE COURTYARD IS PROTECTED AGAINST THE WIND BY THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS, CREATING A SPECIAL MICROCLIMATE. IN THE SUMMER, TREES INSIDE THE COURT PROVIDE SHADE AND COOLNESS. THE FRESH AIR OF THE SURROUNDING GREEN AREA IS BEING CHANNELED TO THE APARTMENTS.

4 3 2

MODULAR

THE BUILDINGS OFFER A GREAT VARIABILITY OF APARTMENTS THANKS TO A SMART MODULAR SYSTEM. A BASIC UNIT IS A SQUARE LIVING SPACE OF DIMENSIONS 6X6M. FOR A TWO ROOM APARTMENT A BEDROOM UNIT WITH A BATHROOM IS ADDED. FOR A THREE AND A FOUR ROOM APARTMENT, ANOTHER ONE OR TWO ADDITIONAL BEDROOM UNITS ARE ADDED. A LIVING ROOM IS ALWAYS IN A CORNER POSITION, PROVIDING A HIGH QUALITY SPACE AND A CORNER WINDOW.

INTRODUCTION

AS A CONTINUATION OF THE PREDIPLOMA STRATEGY FOR THE NEW PŘEROV CITY LIBRARY, THE NEXT STEP WAS TO DESIGN THE LIBRARY ITSELF. DURING ONE SEMESTER, THE GOAL WAS TO PREPARE A PROJECT FOR A NEW CITY LIBRARY. THE SITE ON A VERY EDGE OF THE OLD CITY CENTER AND RIVERBANK SEEMED PERFECT, CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE THE LIBRARY INTO THE CITIZENS EVERYDAY LIFE. IN SHORT, THE QUESTION TO ANSWER WAS A ROLE OF A LIBRARY IN THE DIGITAL AGE AND THE EFFORT TO REACH THE PHENOMENON OF AN ALMOST MAGICAL ATMOSPHERE OF ANCIENT LIBRARIES.

DIPLOMA

CONCEPT

LIBRARY ROLE

A 21ST CENTURY CITY LIBRARY SHOULD NOT EXPECT CONSTANT AND GROWING READER CLIENTELE. ON THE CONTRARY, THERE IS A GROWING AMOUNT OF INFORMATION AND OTHER ACTIVITIES COMPETING WITH THE LIBRARY’S ORIGINAL FUNCTION. A NEW LIBRARY SHOULD PROPOSE SOME ADDITIONAL VALUE. IT SHOULD BE A CULTURAL PLATFORM, PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL AND ATTRACTIVE ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS. THEREFORE IT IS IMPORTANT, THAT THE LIBRARY BUILDING IS ABLE TO HOST AND ORGANIZE SUCH EVENTS NOT ONLY THROUGH ITS CONCEPTION, BUT ALSO THROUGH A REAL APPROACH OF STAFF AND MANAGEMENT.

AS A

NEW PLATFORM

A SPACE, WHICH’S WORKING DOESN’T DIRECTLY RELY ON THE LIBRARY FUNCTIONING. IT WILL BE HOSTING OCCASIONAL EXHIBITIONS, LECTURES, MOVIE PROJECTIONS, CAFE OR ANY OTHER CULTURAL EVENT. THE LIBRARY WILL THUS EXPAND THE SPECTRUM OF CLIENTS WITHTHOSE WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NOT BE ADRESSED BY THE LIBRARY AT ALL.

TOWN

PREROV IS A SMALL SIZED CITY IN CZECH REPUBLIC. THE PROJECTS AIM IS TO HOUSE AN EXISTING INSTITUTION AND TRANSFORM IT INTO A 21ST CENTURY ORGANISATION. THE TOWN, WITHOUT REALISING A POTENTIAL OF ITS RIVERFRONT IS IGNORING VALUABLE LOTS IN DIRECT PROXIMITY OF THE CITY CENTER, WHICH, WHEN PROPERLY USED COULD REPRESENT A REAL SPIN OFF AREAS FOR FUTURE CITY DEVELOPLMENT. A MODERN INSTITUTION WITH STRONG IDENTITY AND RIVERFRONT ACTIVISATION - THESE ARE THE THEMES OF THE LIBRARY. WITH SUBTLE WORK WITH IMPORTANT VISTAS FOR THE PŘEROV CITY AS THE RIVERFRONT, THE CASTLE TOWER, SOKOLOVNA OR THE TYRŠ BRIDGE IS CREATED A LIBRARY, PRECIEVED BY PŘEROV CITIZENS AS A PART OF THE CITY IDENTITY. ...THE LIBRARY IS CONNECTED WITH THE CITY ON SEVERAL LEVELS. IN MINDS OF THEIR READERS, IN PROGRAMS THE BUILDING IS HOSTING, AS A PART OF THE CITY URBAN FABRIC...

DIPLOMA

AT M O S P H E R E

AMAZING PHENOMENON RELATED WITH THE BOOK ARE THE SPACES REIGNED BY IT. THESE PLACES HAVE THEIR OWN, INCOMMUTABLE, ALMOST MAGICAL ATMOSPHERE, WHICH ATTRACTS INTEREST ON ITS OWN. THIS FEELING IS MOST OFTEN PRESENT WHILE VISITING AN OLD BOOKSTORE OR A LIBRARY, WHERE THE BOOKS INTENSIVELY EFFECT ON US WITH THEIR INDESCRIBABLE WEIGHT. IS IT THE SCENT OF OLD PAPER AND LEATHER? OUR IMAGINATION PROJECTING ALL THE STORIES THEY REPRESENT?THEIR PLASTICITY? EITHER WAY, THIS ASPECT WE FEEL WHILE SURROUNDED IS EXTREMELY STRONG AND WORTH CONSIDERING EVEN TODAY WHILE THINKING A NEW LIBRARY.

INTRODUCTION

IN THE PRESENT, THE PŘEROV CITY LIBRARY FUNCTIONING IS VERY LIMITED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT SPATIAL CAPABILITIES OF ITS ACTUAL HOSTING BUILDING. A HISTORICAL VILLA, WHERE THE LIBRARY EXISTS AT THE MOMENT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A PUBLIC BUILDING AND SEVERAL OTHER LIBRARY BRANCHES ARE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE CITY. THE LIBRARY MANAGEMENT THUS BEGINS TO LOOK FOR A SUITABLE PLOT FOR A NEW BUILDING. OUR TEAM, AS A PART OF A PREDIPLOMA PROJECT AND BEFORE THE DESIGN OF THE ACTUAL LIBRARY BUILDING SET A GOAL TO RECONSIDER THE POTENTIAL SITES, FIND NEW ONES, ANALYZE THEM AND THEN COME WITH A STRATEGY FOR A NEW PŘEROV CITY LIBRARY. THIS PORTFOLIO PRESENTS JUST A GENERAL CONCEPT AND EXAMPLES OF PARTICULAR ANALYTIC WORKS.

CENTER SIZE SIZE OF THE PŘEROV HISTORIC CITY CENTER IS NOT UNUSUAL OR BIGGER IN COMPARISON WITH THE NEIGHBORING CITIES. ITS MORE LIKELY SMALLER, AND THIS MIGHT BE SURPRISING. GENERALLY WE COULD SAY, THE BIGGER THE CITY WITH REGARD ON IT’S EXTENT AND NUMBER OF HABITANTS, THE SMALLER AND MORE COMPACT THE HISTORIC CENTRE IN THE PROPORTION WITH THE WHOLE CITY. IN MOST OF THE STUDY CASES THIS PREDICATES THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND HISTORY. IN PŘEROV, WE COULD QUESTION UNBALANCED UTILIZATION RATIO OF HISTORICAL ZONE, WHICH HAS CURRENTLY A ROLE OF A REPRESENTATIVE AND HOUSING DISTRICT. ANOTHER FACT IS, THAT THE CENTRAL PART OF THE CITY, WITH AN EXCEPTION OF THE UPPER SQUARE, DOES NOT HAVE AN EXTREMELY HIGH HISTORICAL VALUE COMPARED TO OTHER NEIGHBORING CITIES. IN ALMOST EVERY CASE STUDY, LIBRARIES ARE POSITIONED IN THE CITY CENTER OR ITS BOUNDARIES. WE COULD ALSO CONSIDERED A POSITION OUTSIDE THE CENTER, CLOSER TO CITY CENTER OF GRAVITY IN TERMS OF IT’S POPULATION DENSITY, OR DUE TO THE TOPOGRAPHY AND A GOOD NET OF BIKE LANES.

INTRODUCTION

ASSIGNEMNT OF THE COMPETITION WAS TO DESIGN A FOLLY FOR A SCULPTURE PARK IN QUEENS, NY. BUT WHAT SHOULD A FOLLY BE ALIKE IN A CONTEXT OF NUMEROUS ART OBJECTS WITHIN THE PARK? SHOULD WE DEFINE AN OBJECT, WHICH WOULD CLEARLY STATE THAT ITS ESSENCE IS ARCHITECTURAL AND NOT SCULPTURAL? HOW TO DO SO? MAYBE WE COULD CONSIDER THE SCULPTURE IN ITS CLASSIC SENSE AS AN OBJECT EXPLORED FROM THE OUTSIDE WHILE THE ARCHITECTURE’S BASIC PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE A SPACE, A QUALITY WHICH IS EXPLORED FROM THE INSIDE. AND THEN WHERE SCULPTURE IS PASSIVE, ARCHITECTURE SHOULD BE ACTIVE... THE PROJECT STUDIES THE BOUNDARIES AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SCULPTURE AND ARCHITECTURE. ONE OF THE ESSENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL PROPERTIES OF THE PROJECT IS TO OFFER VISITORS AN OPPORTUNITY OF INTERACTION WHILE IN MEANTIME, KEEP THE VISUAL QUALITIES OF SCULPTURE. VISITORS ARE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THE SHIFTING OF THE STRUCTURE AND CHANGES OF THE SPACE DEFINED THROUGH IT.

COMPETITION

AMORPHOUS CLUSTER

THE MAIN THEME OF THIS STRUCTURE IS A DESTRUCTION OF THE OBVIOUS BORDER BETWEEN A VISIBLE MATERIAL (GEOMETRY) AND INVISIBLE IMMATERIAL ENTITIES (EVENTS IN PAVILION) AND THE VISUALIZATION OF THE INTERCHANGEABLE AND INTERACTIVE RELATIONS OF THESE TWO. THE CLUSTER CANNOT TAKE A FORM BY ITSELF, IT EXISTS AS A BALANCE BETWEEN TWO INVISIBLE FORCES (GRAVITY AND ELASTICITY). THE ACTIVITIES UNDER THE CLUSTER BREAK THE BALANCED STATE, THE CLUSTER EXISTING ON THE BORDER OF GRAVITY AND ELASTICITY VISUALIZES CHANGES OF THESE FORCES IMMEDIATELY DUE TO ITS AMBITIOUSNESS.

THANKS TO ITS PROPERTIES, BAMBOO SEEMS AS A PERFECT MATERIAL FOR THE STRUCTURE. BAMBOO WILL TEMPORARILY LOOSE PORTION OF ITS TENSILE STRENGTH BECAUSE OF THE DRILLED HOLE. TO PREVENT THIS, THE BAMBOO ROD IS ENGIRDLED WITH AN ADJUSTABLE METAL STRAPS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE DRILL.

INTRODUCTION

TRIANGLE WAISTSHIRT COMPANY FIRE WAS ONE OF THE CRUCIAL MOMENTS FOR THE FORMATION OF INTERNATIONAL LABOR UNIONS MOVEMENTS AND CHANGE IN THE WAY WORKERS WERE TREATED AND PERCIEVED AT THE TIME. THIS COMPETITION AIMED FOR A DESIGN OF A MEMORIAL REMINDING THIS TRAGIC EVENT. THE BRIEF ASKED FOR A VERTICAL MEMORIAL, ENGAGING THE EXISTING BUILDING AND PROPOSING ITS FACADE AS PLOT. THE “PLOT” THEREFORE WAS VERY LIMITED AND FELT RATHER AS A CANVAS, THEN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ARCHITECTURE. WE DECIDED TO WORK WITH A FRACTION OF THE PROPOSED CANVAS AND DESIGN ANINTIMATE EXTENSION OF THE BUILDING. OUR GOAL WAS TO OFFER AN INTERACTION WITH PASSERS BY BOTH PHYSICAL AND INTELECTUAL RATHER THEN CREATING A MURAL LIKE OBJECT ATTACHED TO THE FACADE.

COMPETITION

STORY

IMAGINE A DIFFERENT WORLD, A WORLD WHERE VALUES COME IN A REVERSE ORDER. IN THIS REALITY INDIVIDUALS HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF COMPASSION AND THE VALUE OF A HUMAN LIFE COMES FIRST. INDIVIDUALS DO NOT IGNORE BUT PROTECT THEIR FELLOW HUMAN. IN THIS UTOPIA, FIRE TRIANGLE DOES NOT HAPPEN. IMAGINE MARCH 25TH 1911, ANOTHER DAY OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVING, WHERE TRIANGLE FIRE WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPEN. NOT IN NEW YORK, NOR ANYWHERE ELSE. HOW WOULD THE ABSENCE OF THIS EVENT PROJECT INTO THE FUTURE? COULD WE ASSUME THAT THE UNION VOICES WOULD STILL BE WITHOUT THE NECESSARY POWER TO BE HEARD? AND WHAT KIND OF EVOLUTION WOULD WE ANTICIPATE AFFECTING THE PRESENT? LET’S ANCHOR THOUGH IN OUR REALITY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TRAGEDY HAPPENED. THE EVENT RESONATED WIDELY AND ITS AFTERMATH AFFECTED THOUSANDS. HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY? IN ORDER TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHICH ELUDE IN SUCH EVENTS, MUST WE EXPERIENCE ONE? IS THIS OUR INNER NATURE, TO WILLINGLY SUBJECT OURSELVES TO A RISK IF THERE IS SO LITTLE TO GAIN? OR EVEN WORSE, SUBJECT OTHERS TO THIS RISK? VOICES WERE ASKING FOR HELP. WAS IT INEVITABLE TO LOSE THESE VOICES IN ORDER TO HEAR THEM? THEIR ABSENCE WAS CRUCIAL, IN ORDER TO REALIZE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD FOR SO LONG? DID WE HAVE TO MAKE THEIR ABSENCE RESONATE SO DRAMATICALLY TO REALIZE IT?

COMPETITION

CONCEPT A

FOR OTHERS TO REALIZE THE OBVIOUS, TO BREAK THE SHELL OF IGNORANCE DISTRACTING THEM FROM SEEING, THE PROBLEM HAD TO ERUPT IN THE MOST FATAL MANNER. FIGURATVELY SPEAKING, IF THE MASS WOULD REMAIN CONSISTENT, OTHERS WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT REALLY LIES INSIDE. ONLY A VIOLENT CHANGE IS APPARENT ENOUGH.

THE DESIGN OF THE MEMORIAL INTERPRETS THE FATE OF TRIANGLE WORKERS AT THE TIME. AN UNIFORM MASS OF ANONYMOUS INDIVIDUALS, IGNORED AND NEGLECTED BY THE SOCIETY. THEIR WORKING CONDITIONS ARE KNOWN BUT YET THEIR CALLING FOR A CHANGE REMAINS UNHEARD, IGNORED.

A SACRIFICE. THE MISSING LINK IS THE SACRIFICE. A LINK OF A CHAIN IS JUST A LINK. A MISSING LINK IS THE LINK. EXISTENCE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS IS AMPLIFIED THROUGH THEIR DISSAPEARANCE. THEY EXPAND THROUGH THEIR ABSENCE. THIS EXPANSION IS REQUIRED BY THE SOCIETY IN ORDER TO REALIZE...

MEMORIAL NARRATES THE HISTORY OF THE TRAGIC EVENT. A SERIE OF PATINA METAL LOOPS RUNS ALONG THE BUILDING’S FACADE. THIS LOWER HORIZONTAL PART OF THE MEMORIAL, MEANT FOR SEATING REPRESENTS THE EXISTING, YET OVERLOOKED ABUSE OF WORKERS IN THE TRIANLGE COMPANY. TWO LINEAR WINGS MEET IN THE MIDDLE, ON CORNER OF THE BUILDING. THE SAME PATINA METAL LOOPS, BUT NOW WITH DIFFERENT AND DRAMATIC PROPORTIONS ARE HERE. THE TRAGEDY GIVES THE PREVIOUSLY EASILY OVERLOOKED ELEMENTS AN IMPRESSIVE ACCENT. HERE, SOME OF THE PANELS ARE MISSING, REVEALING THE INSIDE OF EACH LOOP. MIRRORS FRAMED BY THE PATINA METAL AMPLIFY THE ABSENCE OF MISSING LINKS. THE VOID BETWEEN PANELS RESONATES BEHIND THE MIRROR SURFACE, RELEASING THE VICTIMS NAMES IMPRINTED ON THE MIRROR INTO INFINITY. IT IS THEIR ABSENCE WHAT BROUGHT THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. WITHOUT THE TRAGEDY, THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY LINKS MISSING OR TRANSFORMED.

DESIGN

THE PROPOSAL OF THIS TRIANGLE FIRE MEMORIAL FOCUSES ON THE CHANGE AND IMPROVEMENT THAT CAME WITH THE LOSS OF THE 146 WORKERS. THIS IS TRANSLATED IN A SERIES OF CLOSED LOOPS MADE OUT OF PATINA METAL. THE MATERIALITY OF THE METAL COMMUNICATES A SENSE OF “ABUSE”. THIS PROPOSAL RESPECTS THE BUILDING AND IS CHOREOGRAPHED IN A WAY TO ENGAGE THE VIEWERS. IT IS INVITING PEOPLE PASSING BY OR VISITORS TO SEAT ALONG THE SIDES OF THE FAÇADE. THE CORNER OF THE BUILDING IS COVERED WITH VERTICAL PANELS, WHICH GO UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR. THE PANELS HAVE A PATINA METAL FRAME AND ARE FILLED IN MIRRORS WITH THE NAMES OF THE 146 VICTIMS IMPRINTED ON THEM. VIEWERS ARE ABLE TO BROWSE THROUGH THE PANELS WHICH ARE REFLECTING WITH EACH OTHER CREATING A SENSE OF INFINITY. THE CONTRAST OF THE DARK, SOLID MATERIALITY OF METAL AND THE SHINY, REFLECTIVE MATERIALITY OF MIRROR ENHANCE THE CHANGE THAT CAME WITH THE ABSENCE OF THE TRIANGLE FIRE VICTIMS.

INTRODUCTION

A FEW KILOMETERS SOUTH OF BRATISLAVA, A PRIVATE COMPANY PLANS A NEW EXTENSIVE PROJECT, EXTENDING A FORMER VILLAGE OF ČUNOVO INTO A NEW TOWN ON 220HA AREA. AN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION, WITH A MASTERPLAN BY PROFESSOR DIETMAR EBERLE, WAS HELD. THE TWO ROUND COMPETITION FOR A NEW MASTERPLAN, A VILLA HOUSE AND A WEEKEND HOUSE TESTED VARIOUS APPROACHES FOR SUCH A BIG SCALE PROJECT. THE SITE IS SPECIFIC FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE DANUBE RIVER AND A FLOODPLAIN FOREST DEFINING A UNIQUE CHARACTER OF THIS PLACE. THE WHOLE COMPLEX SHOULD PROVIDE A PARK ATMOSPHERE WITH A PRESENCE OF THE RIVER AND SPECIFIC COUNTRYSIDE ON EVERY STEP.

COMPETITION

CONCEPT

PLOT

ALL SINGLE PLOTS ARE DIVIDED BY A LOW STONE WALL REPRESENTING THE TRADITIONAL WAY OF PRIVATE LAND BOUNDARIES. THIS DELICATE PARTITION TOGETHER WITH THE VEGETATION CREATES AN IMPRESSION OF A CONTINUOUS GARDEN.

COMPETITION

STRUCTURE

EACH PLOT IS DIVIDED BY CONTINUOUS HAIR LIKE STRUCTURE DEFINING THE SINGLE FLOWERBEDS, EACH WITH DIFFERENT SPECIES. THE RESULT IS A RICH, NATURAL LIKE VARIETY OF VEGETATION OF DIFFERENT HEIGHTS, TEXTURES AND COLORS.

SPECIES

THE MAIN GOAL IS TO MIMIC A FLOODPLAIN FOREST CHARACTER. ON THE MOST FREQUENTED AREAS OF THE GARDEN, THE VEGETATION IS COMPLEMENTED WITH EFFECTIVE OR MORE DOMESTIC SPECIES TO PROVIDE COMFORT FOR THE RESIDENTS.

POSITION

THE SPECIES HAVE BEEN CHOSEN ACCORDING TO THEIR POSITION AND RELATION TO WATER. THREE CHARACTERISTIC TYPES ARE PRESENT. THE WATER PLANTS WITH DIRECT CONTACT WITH WATER, THE WETLAND PLANTS IN TRANSITION AREA AND THE WOODLAND SPECIES.

INTRODUCTION

ALFONS MUCHA, A FAMOUS CZECH SECESSION ARTIST CREATED AN OIL PAINT CYCLE CALLED THE SLAV EPIC. THIS CYCLE CONTAINS 20 PAINTINGS, THE BIGGESTS OF THEM OF SIZE 8,1 X 6,2 METERS. THE ARTIST GAVE THEM TO PRAGUE AS A GIFT UNDER ONE CONDITION - THE CITY HAS TO PROVIDE A PROPER EXHIBITION SPACE FOR THEM. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS CONDITION IS NOT FULFILLED EVEN BY THIS DAY. THE GOAL OF THIS PRESTIGIOUS STUDENT COMPETITION WAS TO DESIGN AN EXHIBITION SPACE FOR THE SLAV EPIC CYCLE ON ONE OF THREE POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION PLOTS. WE CHOSE AN EXISTING STONE PEDESTAL STRUCTURE OF AN OLD MONUMENT IN PRAGUE’S BIGGEST PARK LETNÁ. THE MAIN VOLUME OF THE EXHIBITION SPACE IS BURIED UNDERGROUND. THEREFORE, THE NEW GALLERY DOES NOT CHANGE THE EXISTING PRAGUE PANORAMA. THE ONLY PROOF OF ITS PRESENCE IS A DECENT WHITE TOWER, TIPPING OUT FROM THE PARK, PROVIDING A VIEW OVER ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SLAV CITIES - PRAGUE.

COMPETITION

CONCEPT

LIGHTING

IN THE SUMMER, SHADING EQUALLY DIFFUSES SUNSHINE INTO THE INNER SPACE. IN GOOD LIGHTING CONDITIONS, A DIFFUSING WALL CAN BE OPENED IN ORDER TO CONNECT THE INTERIOR WITH THE EXTERIOR ATRIUM. IN THE WINTER, THE SUN IS LOWER AND A SMALLER PORTION OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT GOES INSIDE THE GALLERY. THE REST OF IT IS REFLECTED AND GETS DISPERSED BY SHADING.

VISUAL AXIS

THE SLAVIC PAVILION IS IN THE END OF A VISUAL AXIS ALONG THE PAŘÍŽSKÁ STREET FROM THE OLD TOWN SQUARE. THE BUILDING IS NOT A NEW MONUMENT. THE MAIN VOLUME IS UNDERGROUND AND RESPECTS THE PANORAMA OF LETNÁ PARK.

COMPETITION

EXHIBITION

THE EXHIBITION ROUTE GUIDES VISITORS THROUGH THE MUSEUM AROUND ALL THE TWENTY CANVASES OF THE SLAV EPIC. THE CLIMAX MOMENT IS THE RECOGNITION OF SLAVIC NATION FROM THE VIEW TOWER, REPRESENTED BY PRAGUE.

TOURIST CIRCUIT

THE PAVILION COMPLETES A TOURISTIC ROUTE THROUGH PRAGUE WITH OTHER HISTORICAL MONUMENTS. VISIT TO PRAGUE IS ENRICHED BY EXPERIENCE OF THE SLAV EPIC AND ALSO UNREPEATABLE VIEW OF PRAGUE’S OLD TOWN.

INTRODUCTION

PŘEROV IS A CITY OF 45 000 HABITANTS IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC. THE TOWN HAS A COMPACT HISTORICAL CORE WITH TWO MAIN PUBLIC SQUARES. THE NEWER ONE, MASARYK SQUARE IS A PLACE WITH POTENTIAL TO CREATE A NEW AND NEEDED MAGISTRATE AND A CITY HALL ON A PLACE WITH A STRONG HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND A UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE. AN IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE PLOT IS A PRESENCE OF A HISTORICALLY VALUABLE BUILDING, WHICH HAS TO BE PRESERVED. ALSO, WITH THE NEW ADMINISTRATION COMPLEX, THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SQUARE WOULD BE RESERVED ONLY FOR AUTHORITIES. THEREFORE, ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL BUILDING PROGRAM, A NEW FUNCTION FUELING URBAN LIFE ON THE SQUARE IS IMPLEMENTED.

CONCEPT

DEFINITION

THE PRESENCE OF A HISTORICALLY VALUABLE BUILDING DEFINES THE GENERAL CONCEPT IDEA. IN THE CONTEXT WITH THE MODERN ADMINISTRATION COMPLEX, A TOWNHALL PROGRAM, PLANTED INTO AN ANCIENT BUILDING IS UNIQUE.

STUDIO PROJECT

FUNCTIONING

THE MAGISTRATE BUILDING DESIGN IS BASED ON FUNCTIONING OF THE WHOLE COMPLEX. THE MOST FREQUENTED OFFICES ARE THE MOST EASY TO ACCESS WHILE THE SELF SUFFICIENT OFFICES ARE ON THE TOPMOST FLOORS.

INNER SPACE

THREE DIFFERENT INNER LOBBIES/PATIOS WERE DESIGNED - A CENTRAL LOBBY USED AS A MASTER WAITING SPACE WITH A CAFE, GREEN AN INACCESSIBLE PATIO PROVIDING LIGHTING INTO THE OFFICES AND A SECONDARY WAITING ROOM.

INTRODUCTION

PILSEN IS THE FOURTH BIGGEST CZECH CITY WITH 170 000 HABITANTS. DURING THE WORLD WAR TWO, PILSEN WAS ONE OF CZECH CITIES LIBERATED BY THE U.S. ARMY, UNLIKE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, FREED BY THE SOVIET UNION. THE PILSEN PHILHARMONIC BASED ON 1946 HAS A LONG TRADITION AND A GOOD NAME EVEN OUTSIDE THE CZECH BORDER, BUT WITHOUT A PROPER CONCERT HALL. THIS WAS THE TASK OF A STUDENT COMPETITION WE PARTICIPATED ON. THE DESIGNATED SITE FOR THE NEW PHILHARMONIC HALL WAS CHOSEN NEXT TO AN ELEGANT, FUNCTIONALIST CZECH RADIO BUILDING. THE NEW PHILHARMONIC HALL WAS MEANT TO BE CONNECTED WITH THIS BUILDING, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO BE EXTENDED IN THE FEATURE BY ANOTHER WING. WE DECIDED TO RELOCATE THE NEW BUILDING AND FIND A NEW PLOT, WHICH WOULD SUIT BETTER FOR A BUILDING SUCH AS A CONCERT HALL.

COMPETITION

CONCEPT

MEMORIAL

THE NÁMĚSTÍ MÍRU IS A KNOWN MEMORIAL PLACE FOR PILSEN CITIZENS. EVERY YEAR, THE PEOPLE GATHER AROUND AND EVOKE THE LIBERATION OF PILSEN BY THE U.S. ARMY. BUT THE LACK OF FINANCING AND NO ACTIVITIES FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR RESULTS IN A NEGLECTED AND DEVASTATED PLACE.

CONCERT HALL

THE NEW CONCERT HALL WOULD BE PRIMARILY SERVING AS INTENDED TO ITS ORIGINAL FUNCTION AND WOULD BE OPENED AT MOST SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK. FOR THE REST OF THE TIME, THE PLACE WOULD BE VISITED JUST SPORADICALLY, BECAUSE THE BUILDING IS NOT PROVIDING ANY OTHER SUPPORTING PRO-

MERGE

MERGING TOGETHER BOTH THE MONUMENT AND THE CONCERT HALL WOULD CREATE A NEW SYMBOL FOR THE CITY AND THE PEOPLE. THIS PARTNERSHIP ALLOWS THE CONCERT HALL TO EXPAND WITH NUMEROUS NEW EVENTS AND PROVIDE A DECENT PLACE TO CELEBRATE NOT ONLY MUSIC, BUT THE MEMORIES OF THE PAST AS WELL.

INTRODUCTION

THE DESIGN CREATES A MODULAR, WHICH WILL INCLUDE BASIC BATHROOM EQUIPMENT SUCH AS A CLOSET, A SINK, A SHOWER AND A WATER BOILER. THE BOXES ARE SPINNED AROUND AN AXIS AND BY TILTING THEM THE USER GETS THE REQUIRED EQUIPMENT. THE STRUCTURE IS A FRAME SKELETON WITH FASTENED SKIN. THIS SOLUTION ALLOWS VARIABILITY IN CASING MATERIALS FROM PLASTICS, SHEET METAL TO THIN CONCRETE PANELS. FIXTURES MATERIALS ARE CHOSEN ACCORDINGLY TO THE CASING MATERIAL - FOR EXAMPLE STAINLESS STEEL OR CERAMICS.

STUDIO PROJECT

CONCEPT

THE MAXIMALLY OPENED POSITION. EVERY COMPONENT IS READY TO USE. THE ELEMENTS ARE INSERTED IN THE BOXES. THOSE BOXES ARE CARRIED BY A STEEL AXIS WHICH HOSTS THE PLUMBING AT THE SAME TIME. COLD WATER IS BROUGHT TO THE HEATING MODULE AND DISTRIBUTED FURTHER TO THE SINK AND THE SHOWER.

STUDIO PROJECT

THE COMPLETELY CLOSED POSITION. WHEN THE BATHROOM POD IS NOT IN USE, IT HAS A FIGURE OF A COMPACT BLOCK. THE HIGHLIGHTED PART IS A STORAGE SPACE AND A WATER HEATING.

iii

A POSITION FOR USE OF THE CLOSET. THE PART WITH THE SINK, THE WATER HEATING AND THE SHOWER IS TURNED AWAY. THE MODULE PART WITH THE CLOSET IS THE ONLY ONE FASTENED TO THE FLOOR AND NOT SPINNABLE. THE TANK FOR FLUSHING IS IN FREE SPACE AT THE SINK PART PROVIDING NATURAL RUN FOR WATER.

THE SINK - READY POSITION. TURNED AWAY IS THE PART WITH THE WATER TANK AND THE SHOWER. THE TAP IS EJECTED AUTOMATICALLY WITH AN ARM SLIDING ON AN INCLINED ELLIPTIC RABBET THE MODULE’S CARRYING STEEL AXIS.

FOR THE SHOWER, THE TOPMOST PART OF THE MODULE IS TURNED AWAY. WATER INFLOW IS FROM THE PART WITH THE TANK BELOW. THE SHOWER CONTROL IS IN THE LOWER PART OF THE SHOWER HEAD. THE WATER FLOW OFF IS SOLVED BY SLIGHT ELEVATION OF THE BATHROOM PAD ABOVE THE FLOOR LEVEL AND FAG END UNDER IT.

INTRODUCTION

AN INVITED COMPETITION FOR A NEW HOUSING COMPLEX IN LINZ, WHERE SEVERAL RENOWNED ARCHITECTURAL STUDIOS WITH DELUGAN MEISSL AND BKK3 WERE INVITED. THE ASSIGNMENT WAS TO CREATE AN APARTMENT BUILDING WHICH IS A PART OF A LARGER HOUSING PROJECT, WITH A CENTRAL PARK IN THE MIDDLE. THE SITE IS CURRENTLY AN UNUSED INDUSTRIAL ZONE NEXT TO A RAILROAD. PRESENCE OF THIS NOISY RAILROAD AND DIFFICULT SUNLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE DEFINING OUR APPROACH.
