Design Studies - Multifunctional park

MULTIFUNCTIONAL PARK PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC

The project of multifunctional park Cihadla is designed for needs of Prague 14, Czech Olympic Association and High School of Sport VĹ TVS Palestra. The design process was led by Ing. arch. VladimĂ­r Gleich.

Main purpose of the areal is to keep population healthy and to offer modern sport facilities to inhabitants of Prague 14 and to athletes. Every two years, during the Olympic games, there is going to be large funs’ centre for more than 30 000 people.

Main goal of the proposal was to build as multifunctional areal as possible because the capacity will grow every two years almost 10 times and the facilities must be prepared for the number of visitors. As you can see there are some layout settings which offers the event to happen. There are various plots where the temporary facilities can be built such as the are before and behind the multipurpose buildings. Check the following diagrams no. 6 and 7.

The programme of the buildings is listed from east to west on the following situation: building no. 1 is a multifunctional sport hall for 2 000 funs, fitness, bike and scooter rental a shop with repair facilities, dry part of wellness, trampoline centre; building no. 2 is a swimming pool with wet part of wellness and exterior

pool which is used during the time of summer; building no. 3 is a climbing centre with boulder and exterior climbing wall with a sport shop and climbing equipment rental place, there is also viewing terrace and restaurant at the top; building no.

4 an administrative centre of the Czech Olympic Association, library, gallery and cafe, also there are some offices for rent and small commercial services such as billiard, pingo pong or bowling, also there can be a laser game or escape room centre or archery; accommodation facilities are located in building no.

5 and 6. No 5 is a hostel with breakfast facility which is manly for the clients of wellness and no. 6 is a congress centre with large hall for 500 people and small hall for 250 people, part of this building is luxury hotel and apartments with sunny terraces, the last building no. 7 is the areal maintain facility with sheltered working place and a little product shop.

The athletic station is equipped with public and private facilities. It provides the areal with bathroom, changing rooms and lockers. Also, there is a storage of kayaks which you can rent and use at the canal.

Also, there is a place for Scout camping aside of the centre to allow kids to enjoy the nature and horse-riding facilities.

The proposal also offers a shuttle bus offer and some additional traffic solutions such as large underground parking or a proposal of a multi-storey car park as you can see on the diagram no. 3.

*PERMANENT FACILITY

The design is focused on unity and short walking distances between separate buildings to conserve as much as possible from the existing natural park. Also, I see some benefits of the central proposal during the Olympic game’s funs’ centre events - mainly the short walking distances between the sport fields as you can see on diagram 6 and 7.

Design Studies - Skatepark launch

SKATEPARK LAUNCH

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC The skatepark launch is a part of the multifunctional and recreational park Cihadla in the greenest part of Prague 14. The launch is built at the edge of the skatepark, which attracts mostly the young generation of street-bikers, skate-boarders, inlinists, scooters and MBXers. Usually, the community of young sharing this interest is pushed to the edge of the community, on the far end of the city. In the city centre, there are facilities for the youngest kids or for adults, mainly, but not for teenagers.

Nowadays, we should try to change this unfortunate trend in the prosperity of all the groups of the population.

The lounge offers not only the shelter but also a viewing point and some Instagram spots to attract various groups of people.

Right next to the areal there is a bike repair shop and a bike rental place, so everyone can try. Also, you can buy freestyle equipment there.

The launch is designed from reinforced concrete with water prove finishing.

The interior benches are covered by finished plywood.

There is a nice view from the top terrace all over the skatepark. Large windows allow sitting on the edge while outside and also it can be used as a ramp for tricks as well as for Instagram photography.

If you will ask people around you what is in the sky, you will probably hear two kind of answers. There is nothing is an empty space, or opposite answer there is everything. There is air we breathe and sun which gives life to everything.

This situation is similar to the situation with central part Govan. In this are in the centre of the city is nothing for me. Nothing interesting. I can’t go there, I can’t see it, I can’t experience it. On the other side, for so many people it is everything. They have a job there; they go there every day. Some of them were born somewhere around, so they probably explore the place as kids. It can be piece of history and place with many stories. But for many people it is still nothing. It is the place where I found the sky and said: Imagine what can be in there, and then you can create different world like the place where sky is a ground and ground is like a sky and you can just experience everything again and try to find what is in there. It’s like a treasure map. If you follow the path, you can find something like a gold, which is hidden in there.

It is really important to see the city through eyes of people who lives there. The place which is nothing to us as a visitor may actually mean a lot to other people.

So that’s what architects are trying to do, to see the city through different eyes.

The important thing is to see throw the eyes of people who already live there or work there. It is celebrating, or at least recognizing the path of ordinary places in developing the city and that is something perfect we all need to be reminded. It is the way of go. It is not just about beautiful buildings because the city needs the ordinary. These thing architecturally don’t have any value but they might actually have very significant value in another ways and for that place or for the people that’s living in that place. That’s valuable thing to recognize.

Sky is unified. Everyone shares access to a sky. It is an idea of historic shifting height of neighbourhoods in Govan. We can say that this is the place of everyone.

It is quiet democratic reflexes back, the giant mirror of the geographic hall in Govan.

GOVAN, SCOTLAND

According to A Glasgow Mosaic, book written by Ian R. Mitchell, it is given further credence by the statistics of cinema attendance in its classic period 1920-60, when the term ‘Cinema City‘ was often applied to Glasgow due to the huge number of cinemas located there and the large audiences they based. In 1950 the district of Govan alone had nine cinemas, one more than the entire city of Aberdeen, which was home to

twice Govan‘s population. Unfortunately, nowadays there is no cinema neither cultural space to support and educate cinematic culture.

Govan Film Factory is a large-scale project with a big impact on life in Govan. Especially on the workplaces and concentration of people. Film culture is very rich and popular nowadays, especially when it offers different joy than large-scale cinema complexes.

Variety of use attracts the wide public.

A big part of the project, including the building shape is dedicated to screening (exterior and interior).

Exterior screening is facade is oriented north-west, which allows starting with high-quality screening earlier and also allows the square be on the sun as long as possible to accumulate sun energy.

A big part of the project, including the building shape is dedicated to screening (exterior and interior).

Exterior screening is facade is oriented north-west, which allows starting with high-quality screening earlier and also allows the square be on the sun as long as possible to accumulate sun energy.

There is many possibilities of the screening. Mainly in use of a combination of 3 screens (due to scale and proportion of the movies). There is a possibility to provide movies with sign language interpreting.

Another option is a possibility to divide the screen into two parts, for example for Olympic games lifestream when you can see both, commentators and athletes.

Third, but not least option is graphical division personalized for projection needs, which may include multiple screens, the place for text or advertisement.

Glasgow weather conditions ask to build a shelter at the entrance, for dry entry and to shelter smokers. No discrimination against people with bad habits in this project. It makes them feel more comfortable.

Location of the film relatedfacilities in Govan and influence of Govan FIlm Factory and Film Sets is ideal. It takes place near the motorway, the location allows development and it is near to existing facilities.

Secondary factors are:

Short and attractive way to Subway is going to be created.

Green Design - Cross Building

DORMITORY BUILDING

WEST CAMPUS OF ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY, HANGZHOU, CHINA Diverse of the living quality in the students housing and students accommodation provided by universities is well-known from the beginning of their existence.

There is a lot of dormitories divided which are divided by price, living space, privacy, equipment, cleanness etc.

There are numerous reasons that lead to the evaluation of living environment. First of all, assessing living environment provides the basis for taking decisions about improvements in current housing prices and about the design and development of future housing. Second, the idea that an evaluation of the performance of housing may be conducted makes During a discussion one of students told: “My dorm housing managers, planners, designers and policy is terrible.” Other students complain with phrases makers more accountable.

“My dorm is better/worse the other one.” There was nobody who told: “I like my dorm in the way how it Questions concerning the space size and utilization is.” In this situation we should ask questions; why do should be solved before the beginning of construction, they feel that way, why the dormitories are in such during the design phase. Architects should be conditions and what are the problems we are trying enlightened from literature and from existing buildings. to solve. However, we can’t miss the positive aspects of This is mostly disregarded by investor or by laxity of the place and ideas for improvement. architects. After that, there is a need to improve the

most painful problems in existing buildings by clever renovation and prevent them it in the future.

On the other side, the main questions we should ask about students’ satisfaction should be: Is it really that terrible? Student’s displeasure can be managed by many reasons. The main reason is usually well known. For most spaces it is distance from the school or cafeteria, city centre or a shopping mall, but also atmosphere in the accommodation building or building age and its cleanness. In reality, less visible problems are usually more important. For instance many students live on campus and they are not even considering moving off. They have found reasons to live right there.

Green Design - Housing Unit

HOUSING UNIT NĂ CHOD, CZECH REPUBLIC

This project is providing small housing unit for permanent residence of two people, located in Czech Republic close to the border with Poland. The house is fully equipped for living. There is entrance with small corridor to avoid heat loosing during winter, small storage and technical room for green energy equipment such as battery or boiler. Bathroom is connected to the green energy system as well as kitchen. Living room with kitchen and bedroom on the second floor are creating main space of the house.

Project is made with care about minimalistic detail and cooperation between design and use. Based on the principles of green architecture I tried to design economic house made by materials with low pollution and easy recirculation.

Due to light structure there is need to use windows and doors specialy performed to be gripped in insulation and insulate as well as possible to attach pasive building limitation for phasade air pbarrier.

On the other side there is need of nature ventilation which is possible to use for summer cooling of intereir without using technology. This is mannaged by openable parts of entrance doors and window ventilation.

Roof top window and door opening can be leaded by electronic controll of cooling. Natural wentilation works only with open corridor doors.

Hot water supply is dividet in three parts. Firs one is heating by water heating roof panels. Seconf is supported by air exchange heater simirally like air warming, thrd one is electric boiler connected to the solar panel and electricity system.

All of this three options are depended on the actual weather and season.

Depend on the wattage of water heater and effectivity of air exchanger there is possibility to use floor water heating sistem paraller with air heating during winter.

GSEducationalVersion

CHANGSHA, CHINA

I would like to present my concept of the Community Information Centre in Changsha in province Chu-Nan in China. You can see there two parts of barier. Firs is creater drom buildins. The secon is created by open atriums. Thhis barier was designed because of the fact that there is very hard to find quiet area in the big city. You can see it as my effort to crate peacefull and quiet are for rest, reading or playing desk games or just to stop think. This project consists of two main and four smaller buildings.

The biggest bulding is library. There you can find all the books that you may need from any branch of interest as well as parts for reading, relaxx or reserch. When we speak about ”old and new” we shouln’t forget about the smallest ones - so, there is also children area and many books for them. The verz next is the highest building of the community centre. There you can find fresh bar, information hub and reception in the first floor. Secon floor (mezzanine) consists of two separate parts - open gallery with relax zone and offices, third floor (secon full floor) is readinf club and books store. Creative studio is situated in the fourts floor.

Lasts two floor are gallery of variable exhibitions of word history with roof garden for visitors. Underground floors of the highest buildings are reserved for small teatre or lecrure hal with 300 seats. It is sepecially designed fr outdoor and indoor scene. You can use this area for concerts, lectures, theatres, and screening films atc. Other important building, opposite the community centre, is film museum, where you can find another small cinema. Here you can see many pop culture, underground, students of history films. It is specially designed for small group of audiance. Remaining designed buildings are comercial area for rent.

Design studio, elephant pavilion

ELEPHANT PAVILION ZOO PRAGUE

I would like to present my concept of the elephant pavilion. This pavilion consists of two glass cupolas and big bridge across the elephant valley. One of the capsules is for elephants, one is for visitors. A restaurant is included in the latter one. There are many interesting places, from which you can observe the elephants. One of the best places is out of the pavilion at the terrace.

Other one is located inside the pavilion. It is the restaurant which provides a very nice view to stalls. But my favourite is the slide between the terraces. Regardless the other attractions we are here for elephants, to see them in their usual lives. We can observe them either inside or outside of paddocks. There, you can see the elephant from three perspectives. The pavilion allows us to watch the elephants in three different environments. Usually you will look at the elephants, when you will stand or sit opposite of them, you can see them in the big pool in southern part of the building or you can watch them when they have a rest or snack inside the pavilion. In the outside paddocks you can see their ridges and their games. The outdoor paddocks are divided into three parts. Two bigger ones are for cows.The smaller one for the elephant bulls is hidden in the back, because bulls love piece and they are not stressed by the visitors there. Due the elephant measures I am able to design two floors for staff within one floor for the elephants. Entrances to the cupolas are fitted by sliding doors. The cupolas construction is made by steel beams and glass.

Interior design project

CEREMONY HALL PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC The idea of the proposal is based on the main event - the wedding ceremony, which takes place here as well as the state promise. The capacity for the event is around 60 guests seated as you can see on the blue diagram. For this event, you can use as the head decoration the state emblem or the flower bulbs.

The green diagram shows the second main use of the hall. The layout of the space during the event of welcoming of the new citizens. The capacity is 14 newborns due to a limited space for pushchairs parking. For this event there are the flower bulbs in use to create the gate the mother with a new-born passes through.

The purple diagram represents a gallery space. The art works are installed on the perimeter and are visible from the street.

Interior space is used for the vernissage purposes.

During the exhibition time the interior space is used for many other purposes as you can see on the red diagram.

The diagram shows one of the two room as a multipurpose area. It is possible to organise various events here such as presentations or courses. In need of larger event, there is always possibility to use the second room too.

Due to the detachable bulbs, the place can be use as needed.

FLOWER BULB Detachable flower bulb can be placed and used as needed.

There is a possibility to use fresh flowers, arrange dried flowers or plant them for long period.

City of the Sky (In)Visible Cities: Govan

Imagine a place in the world where the now and before are coming together, it is a miracle. The past seems to be the present, the present seems to be past. It is the place where ocean and sky become one and no one knows where is up and where is down; the place where water becomes ground and ground becomes sky. Even though you expect cars to drive, boats to float, planes to fly; up to be up and down to be down; water to be liquid and ground to be solid. You can’t be sure that this is right.

Right or left, or left and right? What if up is down? What will happen to you if you will fall? Which direction will you fall?

What if the wind falls and rain blows?

What is happening there? Will you travel there to find the truth? Do you want to see and feel the place, the place where nothing and everything means the same, where no may not mean no and yes may not mean yes.

It is time to cross the parts where they are not. Seems to by empty, but it is full.

Welcome to the City of the Sky.

Design studio, composition

Composition Design studio of architectural composition under the artistic direction of architects Pavel Filsak and Vojtěch Dvořåk.

The main objective of the assignment at architectural composition is to practice the basic principles of shape and colour compositions for forming structures.

Project assignment was divided

into five parts.

The first was disaggregation of simple composition into space while maintaining a single principle. The next task had been two cubes, which should reflect previous task. Then arose the facade, also preserving started principle. Furthermore floor-plan was established with free partition composition.

The final model was a cube measuring 300x300mm - in composition style of gallery.

Part of the studio creation was - besides the main project also model of the pavilion Fole Argonaute from Paris La Villette Park (far right).

The work was created in the summer semester 2013.

PRIMARY SCHOOL JUBING, NEPAL Team members: Ceyda Durus | Turky Maartaje Hoogeveen | Netherland Teresa Kops | Fermany Goutham Kumaresan | India Julie Pampurik | France Klara Skodova | Czech Republic Lector: Jan Trilinger

We are six civil engineering and architecture students working on this project with one source of motivation: learn about construction and architecture methods in developing countries. In fact, in developing countries or countries with a completely different climate situation, putting up a building or any infrastructure requires different knowledge because of culture, climate, economical situation differences or even natural events such as floods or seismic activity.

This project aims to understand those stakes of the construction in countries where building methods are different from the ones we are familiar with. We agreed on this project to chose Nepal as the country for our school building because it is a developing country in which the geographic and climatic conditions will be a challenge to build there a school.

1. Foundation

2. Floor

2.1, 2.2 Connections

3. Wall

The basic idea of the foundation is that the superstructure is somehow isolated from the ground, instead of fixed to the underground.

Like this, the superstructure does not have to catch the motion of the ground. This can be done by using a flexible connection between foundation and construction. Our house is built on small piles which rest on a concrete footing. The connection between concrete and the timber post is done by a metal strap, which can be embedded in the concrete, and is fixed to the timber with bolts.

For the floor, we thought about a simple structure which consists in three layers : a timber layer on the foundations to create a horizontal structure, then a layer of clay to ensure insulation from the bottom and then a new layer of timber on which people will be walking.

The connection are simply and inspired by Japanese wooden connections. The connection is very strong due to some screws, which have to be imported, but as they are relatively small we decided to accept this. Furthermore the strength of the construction was most important to us, and through this way the strength is very much intensified.

Top most important for our school is the wall construction as it has to be simple, regional available and well insulated. For the exterior walls, the spaces between the timber columns will be filled with a network of branches and we will use clay as a plaster. The exterior surface will be covered with straw packages to provide insulation. This straw will be rottened in approximately 10 years, therefore they will have to be replaced after this period. Some timber studs can be added between the columns as a bracing to make it more resistant against winds. The inside partitioning walls will be made from timber sheets, nailed against the timber piles. The classrooms will have glazed windows inside the building.

Civil Engineering in Deveoping Countries

4. Roof

Location

Architecture

With consideration of the strong winds in this area, it appears to put the PV panels on the roof isn’ t careful because they could fly away.

As well, we choose a shape of our roof that ensure light entering the rooms: the roof will be a little inclined so that thanks to windows above the rooms, more light can enter the building than with a horizontal roof. Like this, also water can directly flow away. Concerning the material of the roof, we had to find a solution that is impermeable so that in case of heavy rain the water does not fragilise the load-bearing elements. In parallel, the material of the roof should not be a corrugated sheet of steel or any heavy material because it could be really dangerous if strong winds pull of the structure. The roof will be constructed out of bamboo. This has several advantages, namely it is lightweight and it can act as a pipe, where water can easily flow away.

The chosen location is a village called ‘Jubing’ with a population of 2704 people in 1991.

As no other school could be found in the neighbourhood, this village seems to be a fitting place for our project. It also belongs to a really poor region of Nepal which has no opportunity to built a school because of the costs. The village is located in North-Eastern Nepal in the Solukhumbu region, at the border to Tibet. The area is known for including some of the tallest mountains of the Himalaya, in fact, even Mt. Everest. The coordinates of the village and the selected spot within are 27.613552, 86.712264 and it is approximately at the height of 2 300 m above sea level.

The architecture of a building derives from the climate of the area in which it is build and the social customs and needs of the people living there. In Nepal, mountains cover more than 80% of the country so it has a huge influence on the architecture. In the Khumbu region, the architecture is highly influenced by the climate and environment so it is totally different from the on in the valley, Kathmandu for example.

The typical house is the sherpa house: elongated shape, two floors, ridge roof and the ground floor is built in the slope of the hill. Storage space and a byre for cattle in the winter are on the ground floor with other stocks (fodder, wood and farm tools) whereas the living room is on the upper-floor, where the family life takes place. It is then possible to add more blocks, elongating even more the structure, where a private place of worship is created. In front of each house we can find an open space where

food (rice, buckwheat and crops) are spread to dry in the sun.It is usual to build a house with the door and the windows facing the same direction, south-east, to be better exposed of the warmth of the sun. There are no windows on the other side because they do not face the sun and because houses are built in slopes.

There is traditionally a large window facing the valley, made of wood and finely carved (related to traditions). Windows are then painted with vivid colors. Vivid color on window frames makes a contrast with wood and stone and give the house strength and character. The lavatory is in a small shed outside the house.

Caesar in the box is project which was made on workshop on the Summer Architecture School at CTU in Prague. The main topic is the time of Charles IV. Team members are not only architects, but also student of art history and an engineer. Our group was made from two incomplete groups. So we had two great larded, architects. Based on the variety of ages and measures, we created this conversion of underground of commandery of Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

We are happy to invite you to new exposition in commandery of Sovereign Military Order of Malta on Lesser Town of Prague.

The exhibition is managed by modern technologies Because of it, we can invite you to the time of Charles IV. We are inviting you to the main room by corridor with light lightens to show you atmosphere of the past. On the east side of the main room you will see the box, cube in size of Charles IV body. On the cube, you can watch the 3D holographies projection about old times and in Prague. After that, special light floor is going to lead you to the west, to see projections of Prague architecture. Because of the interactive floor you can hear some noises to let you enjoy the atmosphere.

BUDAPEST‘S FLOATING LIBRARY PLAYGROUND LIBRARY BUDAPEST, HUNGARY

The capital of Hungary is separated into two parts by the river Danube: the hilly and semi-suburban Buda (residential and leisure orientated area), and the vibrant, densely populated Pest (the urban center of the city). Even though the two parts are connected with several bridges over the river, pedestrians do not regularly cross due to the highly motorized links and the lack of programs and activities in Buda part.

nd

In 1985 the National Library moved from the inner city of Pest to Buda Castle.

Placing the library together with many museums and galleries on the top of the city was a strong symbolical act of the socialist regime which declared Hungarian culture an essential part of the socialist society. The representative building of Buda Castle was not meant to house such cultural institutions, but the new interior design was an outstanding solution to fit the library in the historical milieu. However, since 1985 the notion of the library has completely changed. The strict functions of spaces tend to disappear and hybrid, multifunctional spaces arise. Users prefer libraries which are easy to access by public transport, situated in a vibrant neighborhood, and offer a special experience.

Platform location on the river PLATFORM LOCATION ON THE RIVERbank BANK

PLATFORM CONNECTION CITY Platform connection with WITH theTHEcity

& LIBRARY PLAN PlatformPLATFORM & library plan

Considering these factors, we decided to build a floating library between Pest and Buda on the river Danube. It can also be seen as a symbolical act: moving a part of the national library from the hill down to the river, closer to the public. However, it is not only a symbolical act but also a new connection between the two parts of the city. In addition to this, the floating library also connects the people to the river.

In the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the riverbank used to be a lively meeting and trading platform in the city. Unfortunately, the attempt of the socialist policy regarding the urban structure was a highly motorized policy. From the 70s the riverbanks have been transformed to a highway; it became one of the most important connections between north and south for cars but not for pedestrians. The mission

of our library is to give back a piece of the river bank and the river itself to pedestrians. Since one of the ‘parking lots’ of the library is situated on the riverbank of Pest and the other one on the riverbank of Buda, the floating library commutes between these two fixed platforms. The platforms offer a public space on the river to enjoy free time and create a central hub on the river which can be used without the library as well.

Many unexpected situations showed that citizens of Budapest require space near the Danube. During the 2013 flooding, the river occupied the streets, and the river banks were closed to cars. However, it was not closed for pedestrians who started to use the city and the river as a playground; it became a platform to surf and swim.

LAYERN CITY POCKET CITY, UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE There were three cities build at the same time. All the projects were based on objects we have brought in our pockets based on some regulations for ex the first day it was 50 same things, 3 special things and 1 unique thing.

The projects were divided into three parts - three days of the creation of the city fo Layering. The three main stages were (1) the ancient city, (2) the contemporary city and (3) the future city. In addition, there were some tasks added to change the growth and prosperity of the city.

In our case the tasks were cruel. The first task was an invasion, which happened in day two - the city was nearly destroyed in 3 seconds and the great robbery which happened on the day three.

On the very end of the day three, our city recovered from the invasion and successfully completed the last task, to establish connection with another city.

REVIEW OF THE ERASMUS+ EXCHANGE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE This little publication arisen during exchange studies at the University of Strathclyde presents my experience of studying abroad. It includes my educational, social and cultural experience.

The publication reflects both positive and negative experience from nine months I have stayed in Glasgow, the second biggest city in Scotland.

Through funny illustrations and authentic diagrams, I tried to downplay some unfortunate situations I had to deal with. I enjoyed the work and sometimes it also helped me to look at the situation from another perspective.

Very small amount of text allows better understanding to readers in my own language.

‘Under the Royal Family level, there are four headquarters and twelve quarters, as the number increases their importance decreases. The first headquarter is called general headquarter. It is the best place to live.’ This was written on the first and the last page of every Layering handbook. “Importance of headquarters and quarters define the level of happiness to all inhabitants of Layering.” Margot finishes the paragraph without looking and shut the book. “Bullshit,” whispered to herself. “Who and how can define happiness?” She felt happy, or at least, she considers herself happy.

The book was describing the beauty of headquarters. She loved to read about it, to get lost in the descriptive world and forgot about reality. She always imagined herself walking in the wide streets on the top levels while wearing an impressive dress. She dreamed about meeting famous people of headquarters and about spending the incredible amount of resources in the same way as the inhabitants of top layers did. The lack of illustrations in the books allowed here to dream about it, the descriptions were unbelievable, supposedly precise and easy to follow. Her favourite part focused on the parliament buildings at the royal family level. Those buildings were built upper then anyone could imagine and covered with eyes which were looking at all directions. While they wink, it was possible to hear whist of their eyelashes. During the night their iris sparkled, on sun they had rainbow reflections. *** Living in higher quarters meant a lot to many people. There was reasonable easier access to basic needs such as the possibility to buy or exchange stuff, pick from various options or make a request. Also, the possibility of higher education was a tempting option. It offered wider possibilities to earn sources through specializations to upgrade faster. Studying on prestige institution also added bonuses to behaviours. On the other side, there was higher centralisation of power and a bigger impact of supervisors. Everything was strictly regulated by many rules.

It was possible to move upper and upper in the quarters unless the breach of conducts. Even the tiniest rule could push you lower and banned you in progress` Temporarily or forever based on the severity of the breach.

There was also a possibility to move lower, but not so many peoples have done that. Actually, nobody has heard about someone downgrading voluntarily either permanently. If there was a chance, downgraders were always coming back. *** Margot wished to attend the extraordinary events and glorification of happiness, which were illustrated on the walls of Elevator’s Hallway, the colourful halls with luxury lighting at the hill of fame. She imagines herself being driven there in one of the silver editions of private cable cars, walking on fluffy carpets, sitting behind the table, drinking luxury vine and eating delicious food while listening to famous music.“Margot, the pearl of the 6th quarter,” she laughed. The idea was foolish. She felt suspicious about all those descriptions, especially with the passages about gaining happiness. Sometimes she felt it as a part of a social game and her imaginations just increase her feelings. *** Lilith, a young intern from second headquarter, was interrupted by a tall strong guy in his thirties called Tyrant during one of the proclaimed parties organized by a 6th quarter Cheap hostel on the corner of a Side Street. The party was more about drinking than dancing, but Tyrant didn’t let her go without a hot dance performance on the shabby dance floor. She loved dancing, but this was too much. The happiness in her eyes was very obvious when sweaty Tyrant finally walked her towards the smelly toilets. She didn’t need to go, but she needed to get there. The knowledge of the loose grille at the window was now very useful. She never thought to use this cheap trick before. ...
