Transformation of Granary to a Cultural Center

The Granary is owned by the Metropolitan Chapter at St. Wenceslas in Olomouc. It is a Baroque brick agricultural building. The building has four floors with a used truss in two levels, in the shape of a trapezoid. Bricked from mixed masonry (stone, brick) and additionally plastered, covered with a gabled roof with hipped dormers. It has one entrance through a double door from the courtyard. Dispositional, it is a single wing, divided only by a light wooden partition. The connection of the individual floors is ensured by a wooden side two-arm staircase.

The intervention of this project is to propose a complementary function for the old farmhouse. It is also required to renovate the old historical granary into a contextual viable program.

Concept | Diverting the interest to tell the history and culture of the city

A river tells a story. Bystrice river had seen a lot. It has witnessed the area evolving from a brewery to a farmland with granary , eventually to be dominated by workshops. Thus, taking inspiration from the river leaving a residue of specimens in his path. The granary will be serving as the focal point in stocking the history, culture, and tradition of the city that the river has been reflecting and carrying. Once the store house for threshold grain now will serve as a monumental place in reserving the town history. The organic flow of the river will shape the form of the new proposed building before the firmly standing granary. It will link the rigid mass of the granary to the dynamic landscape of the site.

Linking Public Area to The Core Functional Space of the Park

Redesign of urban complex of the technological park in Ostrava next to VSB main campus. It focuses on the integration of function with universities programs shortening the gap between academic and scientific research.

It is an academic project trying to redesign the already proposed layout for the park. It is a conceptual and schematic urban design trying to solve the problems the master plan has using alternative ways and strong concepts.

Respecting the urban proposal

Creating access through the building for students and residents to reach the core of the site.

Dispersing the public space

To have vibrant space the mix of open spaces with private ones. Thus, instead of a single open space, multiple minor ones will appear

Connecting the public spaces with vertical and horizontal accesses. The negative space will be core of the park with function the likes of Laboratories, Offices, and research facilities.

Allocating figure ground

The public dwelling space will be guided by public programs and the space beside those will be a private ones.

Conversion– JEZDKOVICE - Building of the castle and adjacent farm buildings, possible completion of a new building to complement the overall composition. The chateau from the beginning of the 17th century, today partly used for small shop, library and municipal office, with a community center, offers an incredible amount of space where the above-mentioned functions could expand and be supplemented and extended with other functions. The building is followed by the original farm buildings of the farm, of which the chateau, as a residential part, was a part, the chateau is also connected to the castle park.

Amphitheatre

The main idea of the contemporary statue is that in the time of post covid/war era, Solitary and sociability are two opposite yet correspondent ideas. As a man can appreciate himself by beign a standing figure of the statue , he can also view the spectrum of things through reflection of others

Fountain

Water feature can gather people as a common activity as a form of fountain and splashes. Also it can be a relaxing phenomena for indivisuals. So alternating tiles with water will develop indivisual experiance meanwhile the fun interactive fountain can be used by the mass.

The concept for the extension of the existing J shape castle is to enclosed it with he exact footprint size. Thus it will have a square courtyard developing another public space for the already vast garden area. It will create a sense of security and privacy. The space in-between can be used to hold many events . The Inner courtyard will have a transparent connection (tower) with the garden located in the east and north side of the castle.
