Think Big - Come out!

What really happened there

When you see a window...

„That rug really tied the room together. - Big Lebowski“ recited by Freda and me a thound times.

PROLOG Let me tell you a story of a girl who wandered far far away to find her fortune. No, just kidding. I decided to take a chance and hold on to all of my memories of my time abroad. Of course I went abroad in order to expand my practical experiences and to discover new ways of thinking about architecture and design, but another main reason has been to feel a little more free and to discover a new part of the world I have never been to. So this all will be about me and my companions -hereafter called my crew- about traveling and designing, and, last but not least, about architecture.I had great fun with my crew and enjoyed the time with them a lot?

When I decided to leave home and my familiar university to go abroad, I had a few opportunities to choose from, but in the end my fortune led me to Brno in Czech Republic. Not many people actually know where ‘Brno’ is or wonder if this is something to eat... I always tell those people who are too lazy to use Google to find out where it is, that Brno is just an hour away from Vienna. Well I have been one of those people first I have heard of Brno. #letmegooglethisforyou After that explanation I always receive an understanding „aaah, yeah!“.

But Brno is so much more than just a city near Vienna, even though Vienna is amazing as well and I am going to tell you about our trip there, too.

But let’s first come back to my crew: The main member of my crew was Freda. She accompanied me to Brno and gave me support through the whole time in Czech Republic. She was my room mate, my wing man and my appreciated drinking buddy.

The following lines are from my blog, which I unfortunately did not manage to write through the whole term. But that I did not consistently write my blog is probably the reason why I love the few entries I wrote even more. „Well, our first week in Brno is almost over. Here are some first pictures. It does not feel like home yet, but a completely new world full of new emotions. Our room is pretty cozy by now, mostly because of our rug .

Greatest thing so far is just the wine festival almost in front of our door. „Slavnosti Vina“ at Freedom Square in Brno.

The atmosphere is charming and beautiful even though we do not understand the locals yet.“

ABOUT MYSELF I am an studying architecture and I guess it is all I need to say about my passions and aims, because to study architecture means to me to love it and to love what you do and to sacrifice every bit of spare time to projects and every bit of your vacations on architectural site seeings and art education.

I am also an obsessed hobby artist. I like to paint cities and streets on huge canvases with acryl and oil, so that everyone can see the world how I see and imagine it. I am eager to learn everyday a little bit more of what I love and what I need to build and design.

MY CREW, MY PEOPLE, MY HEROS IN MEMORY OF PETR

I got to know many different persons while being a vagabond abroad, I got to know many different cultures, and the couple of people mentioned in this work are a handpicked selection of the greatest among all. Freda, of course, who has been there from the beginning until the end, Vesna, who became our archi-girl, Jaka, who always called everyone he loves names. Eddy and Kalle, Swedish and Finnish guys, always up for fun. Andrej, the best flat mate one could have wished for and Milan our neighbor from across the courtyard, with whom we played a strange kind of lasertek.

And Petr, our funny host at MFG, architect and chef, I miss you.

We all are missing you.

We had so many amazing evenings at „minimalistisch feste Gruppe“ in the second floor of a courtyard, we would never have found if not for a happy coincidence that led us there. Do you remember that time, Petr, who only speaks Czech tried to explain what a delicious meal he would prepare and then he started to imitate the animals? Fish, deer and chicken! - just amazing. It makes me feel warm all over, every time I think of this minimalist place and the happy people who worked there as a family and hosted us at least one time a week as if we were relatives, too.

All of them are my heroes for showing the warmth whenever it’s been cold outside, for not being afraid of the unknown and new and for having adventures of our very own caliber.

BRNO

ABOUT YOU, FREDA AND ME AND BRNO ANDREJ MAKOVICKĂ?

There is a place in this world, where three souls have found their meeting.

None of these are from Brno where they met.

But yet this city has been the knot of everything, the place to begin and end.

A random coincidence brought us all together and that makes me incredibly happy. I have never experienced so much wine, such a sticky floor, so much lava and never have I been to kitchen karaoke before.

I value these immensely as you girls are the best flat mates I ever had and friends till the end of time.

BRNO, BRIGHT, BOLD, BOHEMIAN, BEWITCHING MILAN SEMAN I like Brno more than Prague. It is still a growing city and one can find even more young people in there, than in other cities in Czech Republic. Brno has a great geographical position, only two hours by car to Prague, Vienna or Bratislava. It is a knot on the map between three countries.

I like it also because the nature is closer to the city. Whenever you want to chill out in the wild and just leave the hustle and bustle of the big city behind for a couple of hours, you can just go for it in Brno.

Map

Bars Super Panda Circus Šilingrovo nám. 3, 602 00 Hidden behind curtains and so much drama! Find it and enjoy your evening feeling so very very important and exclusive. Have a little welcome drink, smelling like a mixture of a common green tea and matcha.

Let the waiter take you to a wonderland of amazing cocktails from the best bar tenders. Group of up to four a allowed, but no more.

Enjoy their „Favorite Gin & Tonic“ garnished with fresh strawberries or one of my personal favorite: „No sympathy for the devil“.

Wait for it... It is legenDARY! Bar, který neexistuje Dvořákova 1, 602 00 A simple but effective concept to make everyone feel special and exclusive. Much bigger than ‘Super Panda Circus‘ with a large drinks menu and you can come with a large group of your friends, they will love it. A mixture of ‘Great Gatsby‘ atmosphere and Steam punk furor leads to an amazing and promising evening. And again try one of their Gin & Tonics. Many drinks are named after Hollywood Stars. I loved ‘Mila Jovovich‘.

Výčep Na Stojáka Běhounská 16, 602 00 A beer bar where one has to stand at larger tables. As Vesna one time said: “Their concept is that everyone can share a standing place and drink together so everyone gets to know each other.“ True! Located directly behind the Kostel sv. Jakuba and on the way to ‘The National Theatre Brno - Janáček Theatre Národní divadlo Brno - Janáčkovo divadlo‘.

Pivní burza Veveří 52/21, 602 00 Amazingly funny bar, with the concept of a stock market where you can buy beer to the different prices.

The more people buy one sort of beer the more the price rises, the less order one kind of beer the less you pay for it. It is a kind of a competition like getting drunk for as little money as possible.

Cafés SKØG Urban Hub Dominikánské nám. 187/5, 602 00 Skog Urban Hub in Brno is a multipurpose concept, resulting from the merger cafes, bars, roasters a space for cultural events. So many stories took place there. We used to live just in the same building and it was just some sort of our ‚salon‘.

between pillows and tiny birds.

PRAHA / Fórum pro architektu a média Husova 535/18, 602 00 An extraordinary place to go when you want to see a modern music band or talk to strange people about politics and art. Enjoy cheap wine and hope that the lousy sound of the post progressive electro band does not makes it fall from the table.

Café Atlas Žerotínovo nám. 533/6, 602 00 We have found Atlas also more by an accident, when we have been looking for a flea market for and by the fashion bloggers of Brno. It takes place in the same building. Both is worth experiencing.

Night Life

Le Petit cafe Minská 896/14, 616 00

Vibe Club Starobrněnská 341/18, 602 00

We discovered that bar by accident, when we took the wrong tram and landed in a far away quarter of the city where there is nothing but that small and sweet cafe with the best cakes in town...

We learned the most useful word in Czech there: „čokoládový dort“ and tried that amazing plum and cream cake! Cozy and far off the beaten track and stress of the city, go there when shit has to be done in harmony.

Next door to the Gallery Architektury, all the Erasmus parties take place and you could enter almost for free with your ISIC Card. We had a great time there, Halloween party, dancing with an A-Class Latino dancer and having to much Absinthe and Becherovka...only Czech can appreciate that kind of alcohol.

Café Pilát Kapucínské náměstí 301/7, 602 00

It is called the „Russian Club“ because of the immense amount of Russian students visiting that club.

With small indoor pool in the middle!

We enjoyed this lovely place for a whole many times for breakfast and also for dinner. So bright and still cozy, have a sit on the couch and take of your shoes. I could have stayed there the whole day in

TWO FACES Dominikánská 7, 602 00

Trojka and Mínus Trojka Dominikánská 7, 602 00 I can‘t remember - so it was grea!

Malá Amerika Hybešova 1, 602 00 Like Silo in Saarbrücken or Kater Holzig in Berlin, an abandoned place in some lost corner of the city conquered by the local hipster and students. A kingdom of youth!

of the building blog and discovered a roof top bar just too late - in the winter. But you can just go to the roof terrace also without drinking any expensive drinks and just enjoy the view over the roofs of Brno. The view is even better than from Špilberk - in my opinion!

Restaurants

Architecture

to see it because it is on the obligatory tourist programm.

And it is a landmark Brno‘s which can also be found on the 10-Czech Koruna - coin. So if you really do not like visiting sacral gothic buildings you can just enjoy the view, when you are having a good time at Mala America or paying your beer with a 10 coruna coin.

MFG - Minimalstisch Feste Gruppe

Hotel Avion Česká 20, 602 00

Galerie Architektury Brno Starobrněnská 341/18, 602 00

Look to your right when you are trying to catch your tram at Česká Station and you can find one of the smallest Hotels of the city- only 8 meters wide, build by the architect of the epoque of the modern Bohuslav Fuchs. If you catch the week of ‘Marena‘ organized by the faculty of architecture you can see about one hundred young people on their knees - worshiping the building. Not a joke!

Unfortunately one cannot enter without a special permission.

Architects and architecture students has to visit the changing exhibitions. And since it is in a really tiny space it does not take a long time.

We saw the Bohuslav Fuchs exhibition!

No, it does not say „Mit freundlichen Grüßen“ and it is not named after that song either. MFG is a code name for a small group of people, who are inseparable together.

A code name for all the architects and designers and artists and those who appreciate fine arts... and it really does not exist anymore.

The real bar, který neexistuje.

Thank you for everything.

Stopkova Plzeňská Pivnice Česká 163/5, 602 00 Brno A place with traditional Czech food and good beer. Nice if you have to show your friends and family typical atmosphere of Czech Republic like in a picture book.

Bistro Franz Veveří 461/14, 602 00 A bistro which offers amazing food and is designed with love and an extraordinary interior looks.

They also got some award for that!

Villa Tugendhat Černopolní 45, 613 00 Go there! Just go! But in the forehand make an appointment since one cannot just go to the temple of architecture and fine art and worship the god himself - MIES! Enjoy a guided tour - if you have some luck in English!

Hrad Špilberk Špilberk 210/1, 662 24

Architecture

Take a Sundays walk up the hill and look at the city from above.

Especially amazing during fall.

Dům pánů z Lipé nám. Svobody 86/17, 602 00

Katedrála svatých Petra a Pavla Petrov 9, 602 00

We used to life on the opposite side

Same play as with Špilberk.... one has

Cool Stuff Cabbage Market Square Zelný trh, 602 00 The place to buy your local (and cheap) vegetables, as well as flowers and spices and see the elder Czech in their normal habitat.

Once you have tasted the foods from the market you will never want to go back to supermarket. During the winter period there are only a few granny‘s selling root vegetables and dryed flowers in Ikebana style.

One month before Christmas it turns into a wonderland of gingerbread houses and local porcelain.

All the Second Hand Shops Josefská, 602 00 Take a walk through that street for vintage and cheap clothes!

The first thing we discovered in Brno has been the Urban Hub just in the same building we have moved in. Skog, a real hipster cafe in a pure and classy Scandinavian style fed us ever since the first visit in September with coffee and home made lemonade, cake. And it also provided many unplanned meetings that led to funny stories. Overtime we needed to meet up with someone spontaneously, Skog was the place to got. It became some kind of our own salon. I do not say „living room“ because that would be another story.

A TRIBUTE TO BRNO FREDA JAUTZ

Brno was an amazing experience. The city, the people and of course the architecture. People often tell me that I changed during these 6 months of Erasmus.

But in a positive way. I see myself as a rather shy and not very self confident person. But living in another country. Visiting courses in Czech language or English.

Experience friendships and people who are so open-minded and honest. I opened myself. I learned that I can do big things on my own.

I am so glad I studied a term abroad!

And I am very happy I did it with Alex. She put much effort in kicking my lazy unconfined ass and pushing me into life. Being spontaneous and deciding to travel to another city on just the same day. That there is no border and no obstacle in your way except the ones you put there yourself. I had an amazingly great time with her. Lots of laughter, traveling, use-it maps, architecture, learning, concerts, theater, beer, pancakes, secondhand shopping, cold days, hot wine, Christmas spirit and lots of Alex in a beautiful city.

Would not miss that. Thank you. Dumbass.

Blueberry - Lavender homemade lemonade, almost the best thing in Skog besides coffee of course which they roast themselves in the upper level of the cafĂŠ. Served in mason jars with some dry lavender... Can one imagine something more mainstream and hipster at the same time.

HOMAGE TO MY GERMAN FRIENDS EDDY WILLFĂ–R NĂ„SLUND About a year ago I went on a journey. I decided to spend six months in a country I have never been to before and I decided to do it alone. I did not know anyone there and I did not know how the culture was there.

Brno in Czech Republic was famous for its beer and you could argue that it was one of the things that lured me there. I have always considered myself adventurous, I have always wanted to try new things, eat new food so in my mind I thought moving would be some kind of easy. But after insecurity has creeped upon you for a while, you get pushed out of your comfort zone, out into the deep water and it does not matter how much you paddle with your feet, it always feels like your head is just about the surface.

But it was then I met the German girls.

You could say it is a love story and I would not negotiate it. There I was paddling with my feet, barely holding myself over the surface and suddenly I saw a hand. On the other side of that hand revealed itself two German girls.

The first one had short light brown hair with a band around her hair that resembled a Gloria. She also had a look on her face that was radiant enough to bring light even to the darkest places in your heart.

The other was taller with long chestnut hair, and a smile that would melt any ice that is left on the Antarctic. These two proved to be the girls that always will be the German girls to me. Very few people have had the chance to get to know them as I had and to me they are irreplaceable. One of them took care of me when I was sick, the other I could laugh and sing with until tears of joy ran down my cheeks. It is sort of hard to verbalize what the friendship of those two means to me, but I know for sure that without them I would not have had such a great time as I did in Czech Republic and for that I am forever grateful.

Have you ever made friends with anyone that even after one year or more you felt that if you would call them you would be able to pick off from where you left?

This was the kind of relationship I had with the German girls and from that time that we had with each other there is only one thing that I regret. And that is when we parted I did not get the chance to tell them how much they meant to me and how much I would miss them. Sometimes saying goodbye is harder than just leaving.

When we had not much to do in the first week of our stay, we rediscovered our passion in photography and used the wonderful window to illustrate our story.

100 Days of Autumn Oh meet me when the morning fails on the fields of desire Oh meet me when I lost my part in the choir of dusk Where the promise to lead what is right As we both know how fields will turn white And know I will never speak of days Cause I know you wont count them.

- Tallest man on Earth, Kids on the Run

„We had some free time yesterday and used it for taking lots and lots of photographs. We have bought the flowers on the market just near our appartment. Really love this place, which is full of live and energy.

How ever our neighbours were quiet curios about us standing in the windows an trying to catch the best view and light.„ 24 Sep, 2015

PRAGUE

ABOUT PRAGUE? ANDREJ MAKOVICKÝ

How do you like Prague? Can you say something about it?

About Prague?

Not sure, I did not grow much fond of that city, as I am more of a fan of experiences with people than landmarks.

So I value more, that we met somewhere, talked about stuff and spent time together than the historical and esthetical value of the city.

A funny person we have met, when you last visited was also the girl at the exhibition DesignBlok 16, with whom Milan and I talked about what is hidden inside the DesignBlock at the Výstaviště and whether we really want to go in and look at designed things.

◀

One should say that Andrej is talking about our last visit to Czech Republic in October 2016, when we visited him and Milan and went to DesignBlok 2016 to see a lot of design stuff as architectes in making are supposed to do!

◀ Tram in Prague at the Most Legií, shot taken by me while Freda and I were wandering around Prague and looking for the magic about which we have read in books... dreaming our autumn dreams and doing nothing in particular.

Map

Cafés Bohemia Bagel Malá Strana Lázeňská 19, 110 00 The most delicoius breakfast bagels and more served by really harsh and impolite staff.

Puro Gelato Na Hrobci 410/1, 128 00 Amazing ice cream one should enjoy even in the coldes winter.

My favorites: Poppy seed and cinnamon-plum! Have a walk with your ice cream up to Vyšehrad.

Písecká brána K Brusce 208/5, 160 00 A cafe under a hill, like in „Hobbit“, climb up the hill and enjoy the sun set like we did. If you are lucky the café is open and they serve you a coffee or soup. Make a short stop there on your way to Nádražka.

walked all the way up to drink St. Norbert and there is just no place to sit, just go next door to that beautiful place.

You will not regret it!

Bistro &Shop Nr. 19 Karoliny Světlé 318/19, 110 00 This original concept of a design kitchenware shop combined with modern art gallery and a bistro that offers a soup and two main dishes for lunch. The interior is constantly changing and since they do not have many tables be quick and choose a good time to go. How? I do not know! Enjoy meeting and watiching students and white collars from Praha.

500 Restaurant - PĚTISTOVKA Na Valech 16, 160 00

Restaurants

They took over a business which used be well known as typical Czech pub – U Pisecke Brany established in 1920`s. Burgers, noodles and salads, nice food in a rustic and hipster atmosphere.

Klášterní pivovar Strahov Strahovské nádvoří 301/10, 118 00

Night Life

I have discovered that place years before my Erasmus time in Czech.

AND I have loved it from the very first time. The terrace where one can sit even during the cold winter warmed by the patio heater is amazing.

Have a look at the menu with all the different kind of home brewed beers from St. Norbert (e.g. IPA) or Matuška, which you can get just next door.

And they also serve the best goulash soup in town which also happens to be almost the cheapest.

Cross Club Plynární 1096/23, 170 00 Haunted machine, the machine is haunted. „Alice in wonderland“ meets „Steampunk“. A weird combination of industrial machines swirling and moving, lights changing creating a large 5 floors labyrinth inside an old house. There is everything inside, bars, reastaurants, dance floors.

Feels like party all night long?...

Velká klášterní restaurace Strahovské nádvoří 302/11, 118 00

Same same but different... if you

If you want a unique drinking

experince go there! It is very far outside city center thus away from any tourist trails. Enjoy the company of students waiting for their trains and local drunken bolds. If you meet a guy named Pavlik wearing a boilersuit, greet him from us! It seemed he is a regular guest at Nádražka.

Oh...you get your beer for 90 ct....!

Architecture Kostel Nejsvětějšího Srdce Páně/ Church of the most sacred heart of our Lord Nám. Jiřího z Poděbrad, 130 00 A church build by Jože Plečnik in a postmodern style in the 20th century, is worshipped by the most architects, so it is the place to visit when in Prague.

Výstaviště Praha Výstaviště 67, 170 90 Výstaviště in Prague is an exhibition ground which is used for exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events, founded in 1891. The yearly design week and design blok which takes place inside is totaly worth spending 10 euro entrance fee. Feel the vibes of modern art and design and madness.

Czech Museum of Cubism/ Dům U Černé Matky Boží Ovocný trh 569/19, 110 00 A masterpiece of Czech Cubist architecture, the building was constructed from 1911–1912 according to designs by the Czech architect Josef Gočár. It‘s located in the Old Town between Celetná Street and Ovocný trh. After a complete renovation the building has become home to a Museum of Decorative Arts exhibition about Cubism!

DAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE The streets of Prague were a fantasia scarcely touched by the twenty-first century—or the twentieth or nineteenth, for that matter. It was a city of alchemists and dreamers, its medieval cobbles once trod by golems, mystics, invading armies.

Tall houses glowed goldenrod and carmine and eggshell blue, embellished with Rococo plasterwork and capped in roofs of uniform red.

Baroque cupolas were the soft green of antique copper, and Gothic steeples stood ready to impale fallen angels. The wind carried the memory of magic, revolution, violins, and the cobbled lanes meandered like creeks.

Thugs wore Motzart wigs and pushed chamber music on street corners, and marionettes hung in windows, making the whole city seem like a theater with unseen puppeteers crouched behind velvet.

- Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

I fall for autumn all over again. It is still and will always be my most favorite season. I love to see the trees burn in ‌ to see everything burn.

I love the weather, chilly but still tender. Scarfs, warm drinks, fallen leaves, acoustic music afternoons with sleepy sun on my face‌

MILAN AND ME TALKING ABOUT KAFKA MILAN SEMAN How do you say in Czech: Prague never lets you go?

- Praha tě nepustí... But it sounds weird...

I mean Kafka said it....

Milan, do you know that one time Kafka was supposed to say something about Prague? Maybe he wrote it also... it is supposed to be Czech I guess.

Praha nepustí. Ani tebe, ani mě. Tahle matička má drápy. To se člověk musí přizpůsobit, nebo – . Ze dvou stran bychom ji museli podpálit, na Vyšehradě a na Hradčanech, pak by se nám snad podařilo uniknout.

Prague won‘t let us go. Neither your me. This ‚alma mater‘ has talons. You have to adjust or -. We would have to set it on fire from two sides. On Vyšehrad and Hradčany. That might be a moment to try to escape.

It is something like that It is a bit difficult to translate as it is artistic.

You will know it, when you see it, you will never be the same again once you fall in love with fall in Prague.

â—€ â—€

At a fleamarket on a lazy Sunday somewhere in Prague. All the treasures wants to be touched and hidden again.

Oh listen how they sing and whisper to one ... Come and catch me if you can!

PRAHA, FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOST AND FOUND MILAN SEMANOV Well I am not a good writer... that is the first thing Milan told me, when I asked him to write a view words for my work/paper. But when he started to write, I was really surprised to hear about Prague from the view of someone who grew up within Czech and Slovak culture and who is living in Prague, not a vagabond as I was, but as a real local.

Prague is like many greater cities full of opportunities. Who wants to be seen can be easily and on the other hand you can stay hidden.

So everyone can find what he or she wants in here. It is becoming a multicultural city, which is little pity, for the cause of loosing Czech spirit. But still Prague is a beautiful city, full of contrasts and places to be discovered over and over again.

Great for young people, of course it is since it is pretty cheap and always in a mood for party! Less suitable for older ones who seek peaceful and quiet places, but I guess even those can be found if one takes a closer look.

OLOMOUC

A STATEMENT ABOUT OLOMOUC VESNA SKUBIC Olomouc is a tiny city with all the facilities needed to keep the city alive. It has the historical centre in the middle from which a radial streets and roads goes. If you follow the one towards east you can come across cute bakeries with secret magical inner gardens and best cheesecakes as well as restaurants with their most frequently offered soup.

After some time walking along the streets you can reach the sequence of historical buildings, baroque mostly, which are situated on top of the fortress having the best view over the green belt that surrounds the part of the city.

The fortress is monumental, around 15m high and is giving previously mentioned buildings a significant character, which suits the programme of the building intended for students. It is a compact area, a bit isolated from everything that surrounds it. That is why work there is intensed and focused. What lacks is a local connection through different buildings, which could even intensify the work of student. Because I think students should be exposed to different factors, actions, reactions....

They should be exposed and be part of everything that is going on at the Faculty.

Discussing this things, me and Alex planed the inner organism that would connect the sequence of building with different atmosphere forming inside.

Sometimes in a roll of exposition wall, one time as a bridge through the inner atrium, the other time as a cafe leaning across the fortress.

Bars VERTIGO – studentský klub Univerzitní 227/6, 779 00 The first and actually also the only club alias bar that we have discovered in the city. Since all the students are always at Vertigo there is just no need to go further. Enjoy draft beer from the area of Olomouc with a funny horse on the beer mug.

We stole one or two while being really drunk and having fun with the Czech students. It is city‘s oldest students bar- so do not miss it!

Café La Fée Ostružnická 13, 779 00 „Frrancouzská kavárna ve stylu“ - French Style Café.

Wanna have so french flair and an amazing athmosphere? Delicous cakes and perfect brewed coffee?

Go to La fee. A cozy athmosphere ensured throught a courtyard and small rooms. Red velvet cake is the best sugar shock you can have!

Restarants Špagetárna 1. máje 825/4, 779 00

Cafés Bistro Bistrá kráva Wurmova 5, 779 00 We enjoyed this lovely place for a whole week every day for breakfast, since I am a Breakfast - Type of human and the rest of my crew as well. You can have everything from the daily card and be amazed about it. Screammbled eggs, fried eggs, porridge called pohanka in Czech! Enjoy your time before starting the day.

Cafe 87 Denisova 824/47, 779 00 Just near the Museum of Art, one will find a typical Czech cafe, smokers rooms inside but do not be afraid it.

Just follow the stairs up to the terrace and enjoy your time off just as we did by watching the people hurry across the streets or just lazily walk from one town side to the other.

I guess that it is the smalles reataurant in town, at a small bar up to 4 person can have their food and eat it there, but every one is just having their noodles to take away and it is delicious! And it is incredibly cheap!

Denisova Šest Denisova 271/6, 779 00 Yes, the name is the adress of that beautiful place on the second floor.

So do not hesitate to follow the stairs and discover a nice intererior, like an inner courtyard with a glass roof. A soup bar with amazing local ingredients and delicious lunch menus. You will find many locals having their meal at Denisova Šest, because it is so cheap at tastes like your mom made it. Just do not have a beer there, they have only the lame ones. Stick to Czech wine and home made lemonade instead.

Architecture Museum of Arts Muzeum umění Olomouc Denisova 824/47, 779 00 In the same building as the café 87 the Museum of Arts can be found.

Even if it is no Dali and Van Gogh that you will find there, the exhibitions are always intresting and mostly about the art of 20th Century.

Arcidiecézní muzeum Václavské nám. 811/4, 779 00 Have a look to that museum! „Cinderella‘s“ carriage is waiting for you in the main room and a renewed underground floor plain and simple made of concrete and natural stone.

Katedrála svatého Václava Saint Wenceslas Cathedral Václavské nám., 779 00 A Romanesque style cathedral which was consecrated in 1131.

Extensive Gothic modifications were made in 13th and 14th century. The cathedral‘s main tower is 100.65 metres high. We had the chance to go up the tower and see the city from above and enjoy the amazing view.

Bezručovy sady Do not miss a walk thought the city‘s park along the city wall. The park is the youngest of the three main city parks. It stretches along the south- east perimeter of the historic city center. Smetanovy sady and Čechovy sady are the other main parks, which we have unfortunatelly not seen during our stay.

VIENNA

KAZUYO SEJIMA WILL BE IN VIENNA FREDA JAUTZ

It started with Vesna entering one of our favorite coffee places and nearly screaming „Kazuyo Sejima will be in Vienna tomorrow. We have to go there!“ It was pretty late that day and all the busses from Brno to Vienna were fully booked, trains were too expensive. So we met the next day and thought about renting a car in the morning. And for real guys, I don‘t know how this happened.

One moment we were standing in Brno thinking about our possibilities to get to Vienna and not even half an hour later five people were sitting in a rented car on our way to Vienna. I remember driving on the road and looking at Alex: „How did that happen?!“ -“I have absolutely no idea!“ This way our one day trip to Vienna started. We had a really nice day, visiting some exhibitions from the Design Week, walking through the city and eating Sacher cake.

And of course listening to Kazuyo Sejima telling about her architecture.

Spazio Pulpo is a space for contemporary and experimental design creating an interface between art and design.

I cannot say how this place looks because they have a changing exhibiton, during Design Week in Vienna they hosted some great pieces made of wood. Vesna and I enjoyed sitting inside a wooden box with mirrors inside and a bittle of whiskey!

This is my kind of art!

AlchemiA Estery 5, 33-31

KARMA Karma Coffee Roasters Ul. Św. Wawrzyńca 9/2 31-060

AlchemiA is an amazing pub in the heart of the bohemian quarter Kazmierz worth going back to again!

The entrance is a mirror and the inner doors welcome you in the shape of a cupboard. A wonderful mixture of Narnia and Alice in wonderland gives that place a unique atmosphere. Beer and vodka en masse. Live music, burgers and a hipster ambience converts an evening into something magical and unforgettable.

Karma has been recommended by a coffee addict friend of Vesna‘s to us. We came there around 9 pm and ordered some really delicious coffee freshly roasted and some cake. We took all the amazing postcards of the cafe they had there for free and enjoyed the evening in a polish hipster atmosphere in the city center before moving our caffeinated asses to Kazimierz again for more vodka and polish pierogi.

PIEC'Art ul. Szewska 12, 31-009

Dym Świętego Tomasza 13, 31-014

Jazzowy Klub! Yes a Jazz Club no one in Krakow should miss. We have been listening to jazzy music alternative and classic and zipping beer after beer... but if in Poland one should have stitched to vodka in the aftermath.

If you liked Karma you will like Dym as well, when I first heard about it I thought that the two of them belongs together because the names go so well. „Dym i Karma“ - „ Smoke and Karma“ ...but no, two different cafes, both amazing and worth it.

Pijalni Wodki i Piwa Plac Nowy 7, 33-332

Bal ul. Ślusarska 9, 30-710

The name is program. This pub has a unique and enormous menu of... vodka and some tasty finger food to eat to not get drunk too fast.

The atmosphere has something old and shabby in the core and looks like the soviets never left the town.

Enjoy observing the locals having a rendez-vous and ordering a menu of five different vodkas as a starter... maybe to find more courage to further things. One thing to try there for sure is the Zubrowka vodka, 40% of alcohol, the taste comes from the bison grass! Na zdrowie!

Located near the MOCAK (Museum of modern art of Krakow) it offers a cozy place for breakfast in a modern Scandinavian interior. A little hard to find, since it looks like an abandoned container in the mornings when only a few locals occupy the place.

Never mind the outer appearance just pull the door and enjoy coffee with pancakes, fruits and maple syrup.

Visit the MOCAK afterwards!

A modern art museum in a really modern building, which is worth to be seen just for its architecture. Enjoy the modern art and ask someone if they also do not get the point of the exhibition and you will see you are not alone!

CRICOTEKA - Centre for the Documentation of the Art of Tadeusz Kantor Nadwiślańska 2-4, 30-001 This is an amazing building on the riverside hanging literally over an old house. It consist the a large exhibition about the Polish scenographer Tadeusz Kantor. Even if you do not visit the exhibition, we did not as well, the building it self is wonderful and there is a cute cafe on top where they serve coffee in traditional Polish dish ware from Bolesławiec.

Restarants U Babci Maliny Sławkowska 17, 30-001 A really small restaurant with an enormous variety of pierogi. Start with the ones filled with mushrooms and meat and order some with berries and cream cheese for dessert!

Gospoda Koko Gołębia 8, 30-001 Best restaurant we have found on our trip! Cheap, fast, full of local students and so so delicious. For less than 4 euro one can order a 4 courses dish consisting a variety of polish traditional meals and beer.

KRAKÓW, OH KRAKÓW EDDY WILLFÖR NÄSLUND Where to start? I must start this piece of writing by apologizing since I’m writing this under the influence of alcohol and so it might be a bit blurred or incoherent. We started our journey in Brno and took a bus-ride to the very unattractive city of Ostrava. The city consists of a bus stop and that was all we got to experience…

For now…

We changed busses and continued on our adventure. During every trip in central Europe where you travel by bus, you will be offered a cup of coffee (Water with 2% coffee) or cappuccino (Milk in the form of dust and 1% of coffee) and how could you deny yourself such a treat? We were young, adventurous and we wanted coffee! Heck, we are from northern Europe; we had coffee in our breast milk. My partner in crime Kalle got his coffee stuck in the coffee holder and used all of his strength to get it up...which he shouldn’t have. The coffee splashed down on the neck of the bus driver and that was how we almost got kicked out of the bus in the middle of nowhere, somewhere at the border of Poland and Czech Republic.

We entered the beautiful city of Katowice and realized how far Poland has come from the oppression from the cold war. We could see the signs of a new beginning.

If Aladdin lived in this city I’m quite sure he would have held Jasmine by her hand and sung “A whole new world” since the architecture promised something new that we hadn’t seen before in central Europe.

Once in Krakow we checked our bags into the Pink Panther (Yes it was exactly as classy as it sounded) and it was run by 10 girls in their 20’s. We wanted to see the city so we went out. One of the German girls took charge and showed the way. We checked out one museum and sight after another. I couldn’t thank them enough for showing us around. Culture, History and Architecture is something that is forgotten when you go on vacations. But it is so much more than just a building; it is a piece of history, a story that can be unfolded if you want to. It’s all about finding the right person who can tell a story, some people behold the ability to have a burning sensation located in their chests and if they get the chance to tell a story that burning sensation may be soothed. I’ve met one of those people and for that I’m really grateful. It would be a shame to speak about Poland without talking about their food and their drinking alternatives.

Goulash, Pirogue, and soups this it the food that women can feed men in order to open hearts made out of stone. The taste combinations, the feeling that someone has made it from love and the ability to warm even the coldest persons that is the core of Polish food. Then, when you have eaten so much food that you feel as if you couldn’t move anymore, this is the moment that Vodka gets into the game.

Somehow it’s a bit sad, but yet it’s brilliant.

The Polish use Vodka for every situation.

Eddy is enjoying his wodka while Vesna is just trying to handle it somehow.

You drink one shot of Vodka, then the old lady looks at you and says: “Boy, you need one for the other leg- or you will be limping the whole night?”

Who are we to argue with the old ladies?

They come with so much experience that we will be happy if we can indulge even half of it.

Krakow invited us with open arms. We had the best of nights with vodka drinks and with home made food, but Krakow isn’t all about having fun. It comes with a darker side. Just a bus ride out of the city we find Auschwitz and the mood suddenly turn serious. We got the chance to experience the aftermath of something horrific that had happened. We were three people to go there and we all had the same feeling. We were a bit disappointed with Auschwitz, how could something so gruesome happen here? It felt like a tourist trap, we almost got irritated with our self for going there. We tried to gather as much information about the place before going to our next location but the feeling remained.

Could all those gruesome stories really have happened here?

A twenty-minute bus ride later and we got there. Even when we stepped out the bus we could feel the cold icing inside of our coats, it chilled us down to the bone marrow. There was something different with this place; we could feel it right at the moment we stepped out of the bus. This was the place where one of the most devastating events in history had happened, we could feel the tragic, we could feel the start of the tears breaking out from our eye canals. Even though it was windy we knew that the tearing of the eyes didn’t occur because of the wind, but due to history. I’ve travelled many places and experienced many horrific locations from the killing fields in Cambodia to the concentration camps of the Boer, but this was something else. You could taste the feeling on your tongue, everywhere you looked, you could see another furnace or camp housing. What did the individuals feel who was here? Both the prisoners and the staff?

How about the people who lived around the camp? It is so overwhelming that you cannot even comprehend it.

This is a experience that is hard to see and feel with your own emotions, and I can understand people who cannot go there. I appreciate that I got the chance to experience it in my late twenties. You need some experience and age in you in order to be able to comprehend the feelings associated with it.

To sum my experience with Krakow, you gave so much but you also took. I spend three days in this wonderful city. You left me with an aftertaste I still can long for together with a man-cold I haven’t experienced in many years.

Oh Kraków, Oh Kraków, you gave and you took.

I long for your ability to connect friends with each other, with the warm sensation of having vodka in your system 20 hours of a day and the feeling of being home. I will never miss the feeling of you letting me know what happened there before, but I will appreciate and you respect you for letting me understand.

Thank you Kraków!

We will meet again, of that I’m sure.

FINAL PROJECT

FINAL PROJECT - COMING OUT STUDIO OF SMÍDEK & GALE

Finally I can tell and show what all the time, traveling, learning and doing led to. The final project under the code name „MIND THE GAP“ started in the second or third week of September 2015 and ended by our final submission shortly before Christmas.

When all the Erasmus Students who had studied at the faculty of Architecture at VUT in Brno had to choose what studio they want to participate, only two places for the Studio of MgA. Ing. arch. Petr Smídek and Ing. arch. Nicol Galeová had been free and of course we did not manage to get in. Jaka and Vesna took the two first places.

But we did not give up on our fate and went to Smídek to beg him to let us in and work in a mixed group of Czech and Erasmus. It turned out to be not that much of a huge problem for him and we have been officially participating in that studio to our ruin one might say or to our success.

What we have not expected by turning up in this studio, was how difficult it could be to communicate with people who are afraid to speak and how the Czech architects work with their students.

It can be so easy to get in touch and become friends who are willing to talk to you, go out of their own comfort zone ad try out something new even if it is just a new language - English.

And it can be very difficult to understand people who do not want to be understood. We learned it first at the workshop in Olomouc and then during our presentations and the adjustment sessions of the studio. Nevertheless, looking back to what we did and what we accomplished made us to what we are today, we learned to work on our own, to get shit done in chaos and harmony and in hurry. We learned that we have to defend what we are, creating as if it was a child and to raise it and improve and refine it in every possible way. We learned that since we are Generation X there is no competition without internet, which is why we almost never saw Jaka working at the atelier in the building of VUT. Our final submission was a perfect success for all of us and we created a work which can be shown in our portfolios and which we can be proud of.

THE FLOATING ANTLER FINAL SUBMISSION TEXT The floatig antler, two generous buildings growing out of a courtyard, out of a mainly closed structure are breaking it from the inside, while showing themselfes.They are coming out of the the city‘s density in to the park‘s freedom and rising high above the roofs. The buildings are viewing platforms, cantelivers to the different horizons of Olomouc aswell as modern lighttowers in the middle of churches. The antler is supposed to show itself, to come out and to guide the visitors and residents in.

The project developed a highly complex program, a knot between university and public life, into a plan which is as simple as possible and integrates both a functional and a sculptural approach for the exterior and interior apperance. and the design.

The equal mix of fuctions in the buildings consists of semi - privat and semi - public spaces will provide a new place in Olomouc, well-balanced and tailor - made. University‘s life with its lectures. working rooms, presentations and libraries joins the public life of theater, vernissages, art galleries and café culture.

We do not see the building as a passive playground for the elite, for chosen, for a special group, thus it should become interactive and interconnecting space, responding to the public‘s ambitions and interests.

Located on reclaimed land of the city‘s fortification, the new buildings complex will convert the historical and university area into a public space for Olomouc.

The building has a strongly identifiable theme and function that ties it to its to the place and culture of Olomouc while also presenting an unusual expression and a strong gesture - growing out - coming out - leading in. The building is as much landscape as architecture and thus fosters public awareness. The curiosity of the new and unknown, coming towards is a strong lead in this concept.

Generous windows from all levels to the park provide the public a glimpse of the scenery events, while The building is as much landscape as architecture and thus fosters public awareness. The curiosity of the new and unknown, coming towards is a strong lead in this concept.

Generous windows from all levels to the park provide the public a glimpse of the scenery events, while inviting to be a part of it.

The building faces the city as much as the park and creates a strong visual connection between all and binding into the surrounding.

The form is derived for the needed context and cultural needs. The building is designed to be as open as possible, where needed and to be closed also for the construction‘s sake on other places. The ground floor is a floating space through the courtyard and continues to the parkan. The foyer‘s space is the main entrance to the building in the courtyard from the side of the Krizkovskeho street and continues from the first, high rising, building to the second and towards the park and the nature. This level is the location for foyer, café and public entrances from both sides. Two entraces are situated from the parkan garden and on the opposite side the main entrace in the courtyard.

The rising building fullfills the univeristy‘s needs, providing working spaces and lectures rooms, while an event space is situated in the second cantiliver. The cantiliver which is coming out is open on its sides calling inside, showing the events but at the same time hides the face creating a fist, a flying arrow, a floating antler.

The ramp on this building striving towards the park is a second public scape on the rooftop. It is giving back to the public what the building’s footprint occupies by allowing the vistors to walk on its roof and have an extraordinary view over the city‘s park.

BRATISLAVA

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN BRATISLAVA ALEXANDRA TISHCHENKO

The last chapter of that happy and unforgettable time took place not in Czech Republic but in Slovakia. I have almost forgotten to write about it since it was really short. Nevertheless, the shortness of the trip to Bratislava does not correspond with the grade of its greatness.

Recently, the sentence “back then in Bratislava� became a commonly used term among my friends for a spectacularly and legendary story no one knows about.

A kind of an insider referring to our trip to Bratislava. I was just a little tipsy and wanted to tell a story, but then like so often I just forgot the point of what I was going to tell and just said like back then in Bratislava.

No one asked what happened in Bratislava as if everyone has been there, too.

So I took it for granted.

So what really happened in Bratislava? Freda and me drank at 12 am and 3 pm, discovered what liquorice means and how to grape licorice. We also released our first Rap Album called after the drink licorice, Freda learned a new Russian word #figurniakatatnia, we discovered that ice is not melting in warm winter, we learned how to fly and how to impress the kids at a playground. We also have been close to behave as true architects to be able to get into the castle under construction but our backpackers have been not so convincing and we learned that if one runs out of time to buy good tonic water, the bad one can do as well.

So anything as spectacular as that can be referred to as like back then in Bratislava.

The cover of our album. Release date: some time in January
