REVITALISATION INDUSTRY ZONE BRATISLAVA pre-master thesis winter semester 2017 / 2018 team monika bočková, barbora lichtmanová, kristína machajová, miroslava mišurová, martin oravec . . . slovak university of technology bratislava .
Industrial area in Bratislava that was once on the outskirts of the city is now part of the broader city center. The site is densely built-up with various functions, but with no coordination or public functions. Main uses of the paved surfaces are parking and material storage. Although the „mess“ has its atmosphere, nobody stays in the area longer than needed. The people visiting or residing are mostly workers, car mechanics and builders. Some old buildings have recently been transformed into studios and offices. The site has an old rail network which we used as the main artery of revitalisation. We expect the development wave in the city center soon arriving in this area.
For a proper and functioning project we have to give the people direct access into the zone. The main and the most attractive will be the main artery - r a i l. Because my part of the zone is closest to another points of interest, I proposed another two ways: direct access from the train station Bratislava – Nové Mesto by using the already existing train platforms tunnel; and a pedestrian bridge over the railroad.

Parametric masterplanning was chosen as the best way to approach Ethiopian’s ongoing issue of a need for new small towns which will serve as regional centres in rural areas. With this exchange of rural living for a more urban style doesn’t mean only new buildings and infrastructure but also a whole different way of living. Therefore the change has to be done gently and always keeping in mind what is today essential for Ethiopian people. With parametric masterplanning we can produce any number of needed cities, we simply input data, usually about site and conditions and the program will generate the best possible solution. This studio was a mix between designing a city from scratch theoretically and then putting our theories and methods to the test with scripting them in Grasshopper.
The principles and process that we set to design our cities on are a bit more complex. But the way we all approached this task was to simply gather as much data about the given site and use it to design the city step by step. We tested the script on 3 sites in different regions of Ethiopia and as a results we got 3 diverse masterplans, but all of them are following the rules set in the script.
housing / mixed use
These functions fill the rest of the remaining plots, commercial mostly being on the primary streets.
important functions
These buildings are added first on the most accessible plots. Similar functions are placed further from each other.
regions
For distributing important functions throughout the city, it is divided into regions always with the centre square - node.
secondary streets
Secondary street network is done by dividing existing big blocks into smaller ones.
primary streets
Primary street network is created by connecting the nodes.
region centres
With our chosen centre point, the script chooses placement of smaller centres nodes.
main road
Identifying the existing main road to select the needed city area around it.
angle of slope
Using slope analysis to get optimal flatland area.

The location of this project is in the middle Europe’s biggest residential borough Petržalka. It’s infamously known as the biggest stamp of the soviet occupation. The government built many high-rise prefabricated panel buildings, housing more than 100.000 people even still today. The buildings are spread on a big area, so this district offers a lot of greenery, lakes and forest. In the middle there is a green strip where was meant to be a metro line which was never built. Today there is a tram planed, and close to it and the lake Veľký Draždiak is the plot of this project. Bringing a public function like a museum is a great development in this strip which thanks to the tram is going to become more lively.

With some spatial landscaping, is the basement now accessible also for non museum visitors.
For the proper illumination of the exhibition spaces were used skylights.
Gives an effect of the building growing out of the terrain, insulation.
The entrance area is also connected to the revitalised path at the water stream.
My main idea of my design was to bring a harmonic setting onto this plot in PetrĹžalka, but also with an attractive form. The roofs with not such a steep slope, are covered with extensive greenery, which gives the building an effect of growing out of the ground of this Central Park as the locals use to call it. The basement entrance floor does not have any exhibition spaces, rather a workshop area with operable partitions and a coffee area in the summer extendable also outside to the terrace accessible only after acquiring the museum ticket. The facade is made out of aluminium panels , which with their mild diffused reflecting effect help to intergrate the building more into the surroundings.

RESTORATION BURIAL MOUND OČKOV academic project summer semester 2014 / 2015 team vladimír ondrejovič , . martin . oravec . . . .
slovak university of technology bratislava
A restoration project about a burial ground in middle Slovakia. There were found remains of an emperor from the young bronze age, the original tomb was in a form of a mound, but in the early 20th century, was the hill plown up, and later in the 60s there was a inapt steel construction built above as a kind of memorial. Since this structure stands there till today and was not done by architects or historians of any kind, it clearly needed a change. With the compliancy of the mayor of nearby village and the citizens community, there is a study about the renovation being prepared. The faculty of architecture provided essential help how to deal with this historical area through our academic project.

The area of the burial mound and the educational path are accessible from two directions, from the main road and the parking place. The path includes all the interesting spots, which are accessible by newly built pavements that also lead to the bunkers. On the crossroad (point 2) one can easily navigate, also with the help of the 3D model. Around the mound itself, is a stone pavement imitating the stone rim, which existed there around the mound in the past. Thanks to this path, it is also possible to present the urn field which is located at the backside of the burial mound.

The house in the area was in a bad condition, but we felt that we can make use of it by renovating it as the caretaker’s home, which was its original function. We added a second floor with extra rooms for volunteers that will be taking care of the area.

Right after visiting the site, we came up with the idea of reconstructing the original state of the burial mould. But in order not to lose the possibility to see the actual grave as it is now, we made the mould hollow with exhibition space inside.

At the end of every summer semester at the Bauhaus University, a big event exhibiting all the students’ works from the last year takes place. The event is also always accompanied by performances of different music groups. The purpose of this studio was to design a music stage for this multi-day event and then constructing some of these student proposals. This project showcases mine and my partner’s proposal and the built result of another group’s proposal, on which we worked on. Part of the studio was also an excursion to Finland, where we got a better picture of working with wood.
Building bridges. That is the main concept of the BrĂźckenbĂźhne as we call it. The stage is made wooden joist out of wooden bridge construction, placed on the main square behind the main building of the university. This way even lighting during the day will people get in touch with the stage. In the evening during a performance it allows the audience to get closer to acoustics the performer on the stage by sitting on the lower steps. Over the performers zone we designed wooden stripes which are organically growing sitting out of the backstage. They give protection to the performers and make dynamic chilling area for people behind the stage. bridge

System of water areas, over a long period being evolved by both human and natural forces, is one of the cornerstones of the distinct spatial structure of Riga, the capital of the Baltic state Latvia. River Daugava as the main water area with a direct access to sea affect the city development and its spatial structure. Daugava, being wide and not-easy-to-cross waterbody till the recent decades has been more dividing than connecting element of the city. The purpose of this summer school, was to examine different ways of using water areas to connect different areas of the city. Four case study areas with lecturers and students from all over Europe ensure the richness of ideas brought to the table. This fact was for me the main asset of this project.

This project is about new use of an site in the city centre of CENTRE important Bratislava. The hotel that was built here BRATISLAVA during the 90s in a postmodernist style. Our academic project academic studio was dealing with replacing the hotel with public function that could winter not be seen in Slovakia before - a science semester centre. Using a precious plot in the city 2015 / 2016 centre which acts like a “gate� to the old team - martin town for a more open and public use than oravec . an expensive hotel makes way more sense.

EPHEMERAL ARCHITECTURE GRAPE FESTIVAL academic class winter semester 2015 / 2016 team martin oravec . . . . . slovak .
university of technology . bratislava .
In this studio we had to create a public space element or more like a work of art in architecture. Thanks to our professor my study group had a bit different assigment and we could try to design a pavilion for a summer music festival in Slovakia. Every year there is a different theme of the event, in 2016 the festival carried a sense of “innocence” or “purity”. Our assigement was to create a chill-out space where people could relax, drink beer or replenish energy.
