Master’s Thesis / 01 Charles University Auditorium To find the right place and design a building that would the most benefit the biggest university campus in Prague. professor: MgA. Ondrej Cisler, Ph.D. place: campus of Charles University - Albertov, Prague time: Spring 2016 full version: https://issuu.com/pozdnicek/docs/masters_thesis task:
This thesis is dealing with the possibility of creating Charles university auditorium for the campus Albertov. It elaborates this typology and its use. Charles University has its own Aula Magna in Carolinum. Hunderds of years old hall with the capacity of 400 doesn’t suit for university of 50 000 students. New auditorium should connect university with public. It should work as multifunctional student center that will create a dominant in the area and an icon for the whole university.
The area is currently isolated from other public spaces in the campus. Stairs are connecting the campus with living city. Sports complex is underused and is taking important space in the campus.
The area is permeable. On the left side of the stairs is the main volume of auditorium. On the other side is public space for the building. This makes all the people passing by visitors.

Foyer and study hall takes form of a spiral connecting higher floor with lower and creating enclosed public space. Views are present to all sides with lots of trees that are preserved at the maximum rate.
The area is regaining its designed importance. Auditorium is becoming the dominant of the campus that is mostly hidden behind the trees. Two levels of entrances and public spaces simulates different flow.

Refurbishment / 02 Student’s house of CTU team: Tereza Brezovska, Tomas Cirmaciu task: Design new or refurbishment of the Student House of CTU professor: MgA. Ondrej Cisler, Ph.D. place: campus of CTU, Prague time: Autumn 2014 prize: finalist for the best project of the School (10 projects) The CTU Students House is out-of-date functionally morally as well as technically nowadays. Its energy is almost gone and it would be understandable to replace it with a new building. What if there is a chance to gain the most of the existing building and remodel it into a contemporary campus institution, wouldn’t it be worth it? We have decided to design a refurbishment. The existing supporting structure with vertical concrete cores is cut out by a new atrium based on the shape of the original one. The building is extended by a new northern part, which houses a healthcare center. This volume forms a plinth for a rooftop extension with the dinning hall. A light steel structure of the rooftop extension is wrapped by a polycarbonate curtain wall. The dinning hall capacity and its comfort is highly increased by this move and current building floor area is free for other functions. A new passageway in urban floor is crucial for permeability and connectivity with the contextual area.

future
2) Noise of the surroundings and external influences does not benefit to the work of archaeologists and therefore the archaeological examination must be covered.
3) With this walkable roof public space can be exapanded in the most busy place in Prague with some new park space.
Old Town Square used to have very clearly defined compact shape over the centuries, which created 4 main diagonal entrances on the square and to a little piazetta before st. Mikulaus church.
Today the square is expanding to the sides and showing the back of many houses. This place is one of the most important places for Czech history and culture.
New mass is following the original shape and therafore it is using their advantages. Walkable roofs are creating pleasant public space with a view in the heart of the city.

Factory for architecture /07 Visiting Professor Studio task: subject: professor: place: year: award:
Studio for a visiting professor coming to CTU for a short amount of time to teach students of architecture. He would live there and have his own practise there. bachelor’s thesis MgA. Ondřej Císler CTU campus, Prague Fall 2012 finalist of the prize award for best school year project (top ten out of 1000+ projects
The initial impulse was a thought of a studio as a factory of architecture. Specifically, the factory hall, which has always been marked by its excellent luminosity and generous open space. On these two elements I give the greatest emphasis. The light is guided into the building through skylights that are skewed to the north and therefore they are acquiring only the northern light. It formed the shape of the shell of the building and determined its dynamic. The space inside the house is conceived as a large hall that has various parts where everyone will find their own place. Archetype of factory hall was gradually transformed into a contemporary high-tech construction.
bachelor’s thesis technical drawings
Phases of designing the mass
1. Archetype of a factory hall with shed roof.
2. Each shed is rotated by 45 ° to face exactly north to avoid sun light.
3. Exterior walls with its shape are showing the rotation of skylights.
4. Optimalization of shape by removing bad ends.
5. Every dimension is adjusted by the needs of interior space.

Train station and parking house /09 with co-working office Site of a size 150/15m that is located on big traffic hub containing metro and tram station. professor: MgA. Ondřej Císler place: Hradcanska metro station, Prague year: Spring 2012 task:
The biggest preference of Hradčanská street is the functionality as a frequent traffic hub of city public transport. I strenghten this preference by designing a building, that contains train station, parking house and co-working office, that offer work space for anyone. The house strives for bigger concentration of people. To start transformation of the place into a modern city centre. The shape of the house is defined by basic need of a parking house - concrete slabs connected by ramps. Underneath them is the space of the train station designed as a walking street. At the very top floats the space of co-working office with outside terraces.

Apartment building on Radlická street /10 with entrance to the park 1.

3.
Site of a length of 150m that is connecting Radlická street with Santoška park. The building had to enable their connection. subject: studio for apartment building professor: Ing. Arch. Jan Aulík place: Radlická street near Smichov train station, Prague year: Autumn 2011 task:
The task was about solving the site in Radlice for the needs of apartment house. The proposal is simple urban design, which comes out from context of surroundings and is connecting the street with Santoška park. Process: 1. The mass in the height of other houses is filled in buildable width of the site. (It has preferable location with cardinal direction: north - park, south - street) 2. Entrance to the park is solved by cutting the mass and rotating one part of the building into the park. That created natural and comfortable entrance to the park by mild stairs. 3. The gap between two masses is filled by single storey cafe with terrace on second floor. Than I had to create functioning and quality apartments, which have dimension suitable for this location. Flats are smaller, but have wide amount of sizes. They have their own balconies facing the park or common bigger balconies. Living rooms are faced to the south and bedrooms to the north.
