Me

This is my personal portfolio of academic and professional work. My background of having two architects as parents has been helpful as much as incentive. Having doubts, naturally to the young, I seek my own style. Driven by respect, I learn from the experienced.

“The poet of the vague can only be the poet of precision!” cites Peter Zumthor text from Calvino in his book Thinking Architecture.

This seems very true and revealing to me. Having absorbed cultural particularities in different countries I have gained broader perspective as well as become committed to the detail.

What inspires me is architecture, which has witnessed plenty, solved more, which celebrates taste and still keeps quiet about it.

o.3 means three buildings, three solitaires, three functions. This is a project of completion of the historical site of The First Prague Common’s Brewery, that has, after the change of its function, atracted investments and has under-gone vivid development. The concept draws from efforts to preserve the unique character of the campus as a structure differing from the surrounding orthogonal web of streets and apartment blocks characteristic to the particular city district.

Areal needs of industry in the 19th century clearly defined large campuses in otherwise orderly structured domain. These were three main areas: Slaugterhouse Holesovice (today’s markethall), Gas-works Holesovice and the First Prague Com-mon’s Brewery. Nowadays, when the rights in property have changed and the campus ceased to be unified in function, the requirements for demarcation against its surroundings have changed accordingly. The campus became public space, where access is free but during dark hours. 1) The peripheral wall as a remain of the period of production loses, on such an exposed corner, justification in up to date circumstances. 2) The proposed three volumes placed at the pavement line act as solitaires yet follow the line of current block structure. The characteristic interception of street web is obvious already on the 19th century brewery buildings and strengtens the sence of definition of the campus among the surrounding rigid structure. The site border itself is left free in between the volumes, gates are pushed back into the campus on the level of a fenced garden. Public space therefore freely encom-pases the proposed office buildings and touches the semi-public garden. Irregular cuts between the volumes allow for throughviews and formalize the places of entry to the campus.

program: material & design centrelocation: Antwerp, Belgiumyear: 2010area: ca 8500 sqm

iven the site in the quarter of Merksem in the city of Antwerp one finds himself in a position in between the city on one side and the on going country on the other. Both phenomena meet in the line of infrastructure, the future ringroad of Antwerp, as planned, passing through Merksem. Thinking of a programme for an architectural intervention, one can not but admit the influence of all, Antwerp as the city of trade, the colossal harbor regularly reminding of its power through the new planned cargo rail connection passing along the future ringroad, as well as very local, human scale, individual productive land use and the silent historical events testifying Fort Merksem. Again, the thought of a border between the two different urban structures appears to be important.The idea of a programme for the building, material and design centre, originates both, in my personal desires for close con-nection between the design process and the materials used as well as the quality of the location, among others the presence of an infrastructural artery allowing for direct supplies. In the centre of Antwerp one may find a design centre Win-kelhaak, it serves similar purpose, with a crucial difference, it is located in the centre. The architectural exercise in this project became partly the one of externalization, in other words, looking into the givennesses and opportunities in plan and function this fact of relocating brings.As a reference to my design work a simple, yet self-explana-tory scheme became gradually more and more important, this was the scheme of public and private spaces in the city and the country. More importantly, it showed my perception of how these two buildings (Winkelhaak and the new mate-rial centre in the perifery) behave towards their vicinity. This scheme influenced the whole design and therefore I conceive it the multilayered concept.The design process involved working with basic architectural elements and principles such as enclosure, light, shadows, the roof, the courtyard or axis. On the level of the site plan, the building is a precise square 60 x 60 meters standing in the middle of a continuum. Present Park & Ride parking lot with a formal and rigid grid of light poles create the scene approaching from the shopping strip not to say the city via a tram line or a car. An open square of the same size as the building in the front functions as the unloading area, service area as well as the main entrance,

the first touch with the material, when it is still warm. On the other side of the building the same grid continues in form of trees creating a cultivated countryside, a fruitless orchard. The building itself is split into two main levels. The first level is dedicated to the physical experience of working with materials, building models and experimenting with finishes. The whole square is left open and windowless. The idea of enclosure, respectfully to my initial scheme, is emphasized by the atrium opened all the way to the roof. It is where the light gets in. The whole first floor is conceived as an opened space where orientation is ensured via the means of textures and inscriptions, numbers and lines literally drawn on the ground. A number of actual spatial qualities can be, I believe, achieved. The tables, heavy tables, individual plots no.1-9, an exhibition plot no. 10, a presentation square, these are the surfaces to rent.The second level, the large span roof structure brings about very different atmosphere. A system of studio units, corridors and larger open areas cre-ates primarily spatial experience where one orients himself via axes and views. The texture becomes secondary, the view and expectation of the ‘next to come’ prevails.

program: urban project/transport concept, northern city park for Prague location: Prague, Czech Republicyear: 2010area: ca 450 ha

hen you want to go to the nature, you take the car...this is how we live in a city today.”PhDr. Petr Fejk, former director, Zoological garden Prague

Park transport service , easy + quick = used Future main transport service point of the Northern park Prague is an underground parkhouse under the green nurs-ery of Troja Chateau. It is directly connected to future trafic of the inner city tunnel as part of the inner ring of Prague (currently under construction). Regarding the idea of the Northern city park as a whole, but also all involved institu-tions working on their own, it is essential to enable fast and easy access to the gravity centre of the area.

“If someone intends to create a detached parking 4 kilometres far from the Zoological garden, the visi-tors, that the garden needs to survive, will not have anywhere to park. It is, after all, standard to be able to park a car next to a supermarket or swimming pool, so why should it be different in a Zoo? When you want to go to the nature, you take the car...this is how we live in a city today. If you force a family with three kids park four kilometres off the garden and commute by bus, they will simply stay home.”PhDr. Petr Fejk, former director, Zoological garden Prague

River park = dike + open fieldThe dike as a phenomenon in the area with a story taking place on its surface and an open grass field in an alluvial area as a place for a walk, picnic, independant and undisturbed contact with the river.

Underground corridor leading from the parking to Zoo entrance via Chateau vault. People in large numbers must reach atractivities from the parkhouse as fast and direct as possible without having to pass through the Chateau surroundings. In open air humans behave instinctively, relieved of the presure and control of built environment. To what extent are we able to point out the path or direct people? The underground passage - a connection between the Zoo and the parking should in this sense determine visitors’ behaviour. It should be fun! (funtheory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZV5aa_mQi0)

1 slab-type barrier apartment house alongside main road3 solitaire apartment houses in quiet garden# apartments 35 + 3x3# parking 46 apartment floorage 44,5 sq m -113,1 sq mpublic space including childrens’ playground

On the northwestern side, the site is negatively affect-ed by excessive noise level from passing traffic. On the southeast the neighbourhood consists of single family houses. Urban regulation on site allows for 30 % land

development. The concept was to create two lines of structures connected through central semi-public alley. The first level takes shape in a slab-type barrier block of flats consisting of 6 sections along the main city road block-ing out noise enabling for quite central semipublic spaces. The second line is proposed in form of three solitaire apartment houses placed within private gar-dens. The layout of the slab corresponds to the needs of a barrier floorplan, it joines stairways, service areas and kitchens on the nortern noisy side. In the direction of quiet southern gardens it opens all living areas and bedrooms through vast glazing. The layout of solitaire apartment houses takes advantage of accessibility of all four facades, which brings experience of living in such apartment closer to the one of living in an individual family house.

Introduction

Nomination, Best 10 Student projects in 2009 at Faculty of Architecture CTU Prague“We cannot but reckon purely classic scheme of a long block of flats oposing individual apartment houses. The project connects sensibly to the existing scale, yet it creates a strong complex of buildings. In consistency with the urban scheme facades are classicaly structured with window openings and together with the proposed material, brickwork, it is taken to perfection of Czech austerity.”the Jury
