5th year studentArchitecture and Urbanism

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?

layering of input elements layering of the proposal

1 How to relate to highway ring? How to cross it?2 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?3 Path networking, permeability.4 What is the desired image of a village in the metropolitan area?5 What is the development perspective of a  village in the  metro-

politan area? How should new estates look like?

TOPICS

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.

METHOD

spatial layout of the proposal

PROPOSAL

Jeremiášova street Ořech (suburban village)

New house for Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, first-class 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.

Cartography as a  tool for urban analysis and mean of communication.

“City as ... ” is a series of 5 maps of Hradec Králové. Each is elaborated in a  different manner in order to illustrate different fields and suggest different meaning. The topics are: Social, Physical and Symbolic space, Green city and Mobile city.

CITY AS A SOCIAL SPACE

Map of Hradec Kralove as a SOCIAL SPACE shows various city functions and their spread over the land. With basically only real center, ranging from central station through modern extension towards historic town, the civic life follows similar pattern.

CITY AS A SYMBOLIC SPACEMap of Hradec Kralove as a symbolic space

shows its main orientation points and elements, which define circulation through the town and gained experience.

This town is specific by regular radial structure with its center located on a single hill. Therefore more than anywhere else long-distance views come into action, often merged with main access roads. Actually, the whole traffic network poses such clear figure, that it is the leading mean of orientation - ring with radials determining sectors.

Long-distance visual axes spread around the central church tower; local axes are to be found mostly in the modernistic expansions.

The two confluencing rivers act as important element, nevertheless not very efficient for determining directions (due to their irregularities).

CITY AS A PHYSICAL SPACE

Map of Hradec Kralove as a PHYSICAL SPACE depicts how the city and space inside is experienced in terms of accessibility - both physical and virtual (visual).

Each plot, district or zone is classified for physical character - [1] built, [2] unbuilt but enclosed by buildings and [3] unbuilt. Second dimension are four levels of usage regime - [A] private, [B] semi-private, [C] semi-public and [D] public. Intersection of those creates 12 values and 5 of them, relevant for this map, are then assigned shades of gray scale and depicted.

Percent of coverage in different areas then shows variations in structure and character of those. Difference is visible for example between south-western garden city with relative small public space and south-eastern block houses areas with practically no private space at all.

CITY AS A MOBILE SPACE

Map of Hradec Kralove as a mobile space shows main traffic flows and changing points in the city.

Individual car transport is concentrated in the 2nd ring and radial motorways to various directions; traffic in individual segments and the city center is spread over smaller streets.

Public transport is well servicing the whole urbanized area with stops close enough to each other and interconnected with other means: central train and bus station in the northwest and several P+R around the town.

Bicycle paths and create fine mesh all over the area, partially following the main car flows (with dedicated lanes), partially utilizing the river banks and filled with network of small streets offering undisturbed bicycle traffic.

CITY AS A GREEN SPACE

Map depicting the city as a GREEN SPACE is focused on the layer of city green. Due to terrain conditions, city’s historical development and generous modernistic planning, natural greenery is present throughout the whole city in unusually high amount. It is present in various forms: tree alleys following main roads, public parks, housing areas with (visually accessible) gardens and also broad meadows along rivers reaching close to the center.

The elements are depicted as surfaces (either more intense and continuous or rather general and diffuse) and lines. Single trees, significant at the whole city level, are currently not present.

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.

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.

New centre for Běchovice village - former post office courtyard transformed into a  permanently accessible public space.

Loop as a  variation of an athletic track, reference to traditional long-distance running race.

In the first phase, we propose to re-open access gates, reconstruct the courtyard surface and create an  access towards the pond at the north through unused wing of the building. The space is used also as the restaurant garden.

Second phase includes relocation of the post office and info-center back to the complex. Empty buildings and a  new extension are used for various purposes. New path connects the  yard with bus stop and the pond at the other side.

“Cities without smog”

collaboration with Klára Pohlová

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.

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  sine-curve 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.

Renovation and merging of two units in an 1930’s apartment block in Prague Vršovice. Result is a  comfort home for young family, with living zone oriented to the south, bedrooms on the north and services around the central air shaft.

Proposal includes enlargement of previously small rooms and providing specific atmosphere by using both traditional and modern materials: original terrazzo and wooden floor, nostalgic glass bricks and fresh linoleum in bright colour.

The project is currently under realization.

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.
