STUDIO NASADIL - DUBA // SUMMER 2017/18

PILIPDA SAMATTANAWIN / AD 4

BRIEF

150m of culture Prague 7, Czech Republic Studio brief A slim green belt in front of the Park Hotel and the Police Headquarters, near the Vystaviste Fair Grounds. A prominent and limited site. 150m refers to the length of the parcel predetermining a large longitudinal building.

The site is prominent due to its location and exposure to the adjacent National Gallery, alongside frequented car, tram and pedestrian routes. Limitations of the site are imbedded in the parcel proportions and the fact there are large existing buildings adjacent.

Students will be designing a cultural institution of national significance. The project will be dealing with a cultural typology and its adjustment to difficult site conditions, with complex urban setting, and will be negotiating with scale and architectural language appropriate for a cultural institution of 21st century. Challenging conditions will result in unique approaches and strong concepts being able to withstand the building’s strong neighbours, particularly the National Gallery (Veletrzni Palac) Typlogies to be selected: 1.. Czech Architecture Centre 2.. Film Archive 3.. Annexe to Veletrzi Palace National Gallery 4.. Centre for Czech Photography 5.. Centre for Czech Design (new home for Designblok) P. Nasadil, M.

DESIGN STATEMENT

long exposure Long exposure is a new photograhy hub, where photographers, students, artists and creatives communicate, exchange ideas and explore the photography world.

With the site being 150m long, and is situated right in front of two large volumes, the 6 m width long pedastrain is taken into consideration. The result is to divide the volume into three rectangular units, with different widths and heights arranged carefully through out the site. Thus, creating public space that allows people to move freely, elimiate the unhealthy narrow path in between the two big volumes. In fact, it allows space for outdoor exhibitions or activities during warmer days. The project turns limitation of the site into oppertunity to build strong concept of outdoor space that is used as roof to the underground exhibition space of the project.

Being a Centre to Czech photography, light is the key of the project. The three units allow natural ight to be led in, from the top and side. The exhibition space, being led by a long ramp that leads you underground, creating alternate series of light and darkness as you pass by. A long open space underground gallery is being led up by a 2 m deep lightwell from the top, which acts as a piece of monumental on the public space area.
