Behind the curtain

multifunctional centre for Nymburk

1.1

On the site of a residential building with services in

the groundfloor, I decided to design a new building
according to importance of the site, which is
exposed to everyone coming from south to the city.

The volume of the new house closes the space

of main square on one side. On the other side, it
opens to the river and invites to enter the city.

Angularity and technical form of the building

express adaptability and universality of the interior.
Hard edges in steel and glass are veiled curtain
of stainless steel, which can completely close
southern facade, as a theater curtain works.

Importance of the site determined program in the

form of multifunctional hall, which I combined with
elementary art school.
Left wing is designed for music, dance and
dramatic department. There is concert hall with
100 seats on the ground floor and dance hall
with mirrors on first floor over two floors and a

recording studio on the second floor.

Right wing is used for administration and art
department. The art rooms are oriented to the
north due to the light. The main entrance and foyer
is an exhibition hall in the same time.
The multifunctional hall with 400 seats has
facilities underground, from where is possible to

quickly transport the equipment by two hydraulic

elevators. The hall can be enlarged on the
courtyard by opening the southern wall.
The courtyard is surounded by restaurant and cafe
on the ground floor.

pictures from the site

To enable conflict-free coexistence of two

generations, I have divided the internal space of
the house into private and common areas. Both
generations have their own entrance, bedroom
with plenty of privacy and kitchen. When needed,
they can all meet in the heart of the house or visit
themselves in living rooms, which are separated

only by different levels of the floor.

Section of traditional local house is stretched into
an unusual floorplan using the full disposition
of site. Dividing the site to relax and vegetable
garden. In the middle is the heart of the house.
Space flow freely into the garden with old apple

trees that were already on the land long before the

house.

theater pavilion for children

3.1

The theater pavilion is based on the moment of

surprise. Drab facade hides a magnificent interior.
Entrance in children scale is a gateway to another
world. The building is covered by plywood boards,
which later gets the right patina. There is other
entrance in addition to the main childrenscaled
entrance, which doors are made of the same

material as the facade, what keeps it hidden from

childrens eyes.
Construction of the building is efficient and
effective. The basic frame of wooden beams
covers the exterior layer of waterproof plywood
construction. The constraction is based on ground

screws above terrain. Flat roof is covered with

asphalt stripes. The construction is in interior
covered by perforated OSB panels painted in black.
Behind the scenes and in places where it is not
needed structure remains uncovered. Expressive
interior form is following the construction system
and is improving acoustic.

Hutch

3.2

The main entrance for children has size 625 x 1250

mm. After entering you can walk into the main hall
or climb on to the balcony designed in childrens
proportions. Safety requirements and transparency
is solved by black net without installing railings.
For larger visitors is made entrance of standardized
dimensions on the side, and behind the stage is

even larger service acces.

Variability - instead of chairs is theater equipped
with a modular boxes. From those could be built
elevated auditorium and cover wall of the stage.
The stage is not limited to the space behind the
curtain. Performances can play under the balcony

in the middle of the theater. Kids can watch it from

the balcony.

Pedlice are real ghetto, urban distirct outlying

other side to show the city inhabitants that they

are not location without solution. Bus stop with
bistro should become a bridge between the city
center and the ghetto Pedlice.
I am reconstructing a burned building to place
there the bus stop and fastfood. The property
is in the pledge, and apparently has no future. I

open the front facade of the house to the sidewalk

and into the sky. Illuminate the interior space
by removing the ceiling to the roof covered with
transparent roofing. Interior become a public
space by opening the windows to the level of the
sidewalk. I place kitchen and store to the back part
of the building.

Functionally, the space is divided into horizontal

stripes. From the public space of pavement
entering semi-public indoor staircase to reach
closeable volume of fastfood. Stairs in front of
fastfood are suitable for short term sitting. .

Materials for reconstruction are chosen due

to nearby industrial zone. I use contemporary
industrial materials - steel and polycarbonate
sheets, to make the building different from the
others. Highlighting the stop is neccesary for
its function. Another element emphasizing the
building are lights on the end of steel beams

holding the front facade. The building is at night

due to tranpsarent roof and no ceilings shining.
Light is important tool against crime, which is
combined with cameras. Bus stop is kept partially
opened in the night and provide a sense of
security.

Atacama Desert is the driest place on Earth. Water

is in hidden flows beneath the surface. Lakes have
mostly dried up, leaving a salty plains.
Pictures of the landscape look like from another
world. Area occupies a minimum amount of
people, animals and plants. The pattern of a dry
salt lake became inspiration for the design of the

archeological museum in the town of San Pedro.

I have overlayed the site by polygon grid and
let some polygons grow in white buildings. The
unusual architecture of San Pedro is caused by
rare climatic conditions. The streets are created by
monolithic high walls that keep valuable night cold
air for the daytime.

I followed homogeneous form of the streets,

creating compact exterior wall of the museum.
Its height does not change much. It is disturbed
just by three entrances. Putting the courtyard
one meter deeper in the ground, is separating the
museum from the common world of the village.

Inside, I focused on the exhibition spaces.

Permanent exhibition is situated in various
spaces with different types of light. The height
of the ceiling and floor level changes. Changing
conditions do not let the visitor stagnate.
Changing exhibition is one compact hall, suitable
for different types of exhibitions.

intervention to urban structure
in Prague

6.1

The area is located in a compact built area of

ikov (Prague district), but it was disrupted by
ideologically motivated asanation and replacement
of the original building blocks by panelhousing.
I am replacing volumes that do not respect the
street line and creates a nonfunctional public
space, creating an open complex of office buildings

with shops, cafe and restaurants.

I place new offices and shops int the city structure
because I am convinced of the importance of
diversity of functions in the city center. Offices
tight other people to the site when inhabitants of
the surrounding houses go to work. It also brings
more customers for the services. The smallest

building will act as a local cultural center with

clubs and ateliers. Shops, cafes and restaurants in
the ground floor attract more people to come.

The site is situated on bank of the river that forms

the border between the village and the castle park.
Baroque park is a very significant place. Open
meadow. Large oak trees lining the river. Castle
with a brewery, a mill and a baroque church are
the dominants of village.

I found inspiration during the site visit. There were

logs on grass on the riverbanks. I have designed a
composition of log elements, seemed to be casually
deployed on the site. The proposal is a private
atelier and common space in the same time. Studio
module is fixed on the living module, accessible
only by rope ladder, deliberately separated from

the rest of the space. Three elements: a living

module, a bath module and a workshop are
covering the terrace keeping the view on the
riverandmeadow.

The atelier is only a table, chair, shelves and lots of

space. It is possible to separate it from the bottom
by cover.
The largest module itself does not mean only
the kitchen but also the relax area, space at the
window ellipticaly shaped in section with no
flat floor. The interior is heated by a fireplace.

The kitchen can be opened with a sliding door.

The boundaries between interior and exterior
disappears.
In bath module man first undresses and self
washes in the bathroom with dressing room and
then enter into a heated sauna. From there you can
acces the cold river using steps.

The workshop is also used as a warehouse. One

wall can be opened to work outside.

Growing gravestone
new burial culture

The idea of the gravestone design is based on the

building blocks formed of repositories for urns.
Growth is the advantage of this concept of the
tomb. Gradually you can build a family tomb or
create an individual tombstone. Gravestones can
be placed in groups or separately.

The whole gravestone consists of the following

parts:

The base ring fixed in the ground.

All parts are made of fine-grain colored concrete.

Lantern: the upper part with space for candles

Urn ark: middle parts large enough to insert the
