REPORT GRANARY

The building 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. Facade without division, supplemented only by a decorative ledge and stone lining at the front door. Filling window openings - wooden shutters and steel planar threaded grilles complemented by fine hexagonal mesh.

The roof will be repaired in the building in the near future. The use of the building was considered for the construction of a museum of local traditions, or for handicrafts. The granary is not a listed building, but it is still wanting to be kept in its historic form.

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.

SITE ANALYSIS 02

The site is located in the city of VELKA BYSTRICE, which is 8km east of Olomouc. It is one of the oldest towns in the Czech Republic. The town has 3500 inhabitants and is 9km2 wide.

The site

The site is on the north part of the town where this river passes through. It is near the amphitheater where public activities of the town are held.

Velka Bystrice become a town in June 1998. But it has a very long story as a village. It was part of MRSKLESY region. In the mediveal period the village used to be a brewery for a fortified city of Olomouc. The servants of the clergies and nobles in Olomouc used this village as a manufacturing area. Nowadays it is part of association of BYSTRICKA MICROREGION. Its mostly covered by greeneries and family houses.

Bystrice river connects the city with Olomouc alongside the railroad. Springs southeast of Ryžovište at an altitude of 600 m. Stream south to Velká Bystrice, where it turns west. Eventually flows in Olomouc at an altitude of 212 m. The town can be accessed using vehicles or the train. The railway passed in the south of the intervein site.

The city has a long history of culture and traditions. Folk, Hana Year are a few of the yearly cultural activities seen in the streets of Velka Bystrice. These colorful vibrant carnivals reflect the rich values and assets the town had. Yet The town is a dormant one, not enough place to showcase this phenomenon.

The town is mostly a low dwelling building with an average of three-story high. These make it very appealing for human-scale perspectives and urban spaces.

Brick walls with plaster finish is the main construction techniques used in the town. The pitched roof of most building s made of slates.Concrete pavings dominates the ground surface.

Wood is also an abundant material in the city. Thus like the Granary, most houses use grid structural layout for seismic purposes.

The basic form of the city can be percived as a pitched pointy surface placed in stable rectangular surface. When the height difference of each building is taken into account it give impression of a zigzag pattern

OLD FARM LEGEND

Existing buildings are used for small-scale production (carpentry, locksmithing, sculpture, etc.), warehouses, office space (Forest Administration of the Metropolitan Chapter). There is a plum orchard on these plots, and it is mostly used for farm breeding of deer and fallow deer. The site is in a poor condition with some renovated buildings. The Granary is located at the entrance of the complex. Vehicles can access the interior courtyard through this main entrance. It is the first building to be noticed from the main street passing on the east side of the site. This project focuses on creating an urban structure of the entire complex or proposing how to use this complex in the future (new buildings, division of the complex into several different parts, design of roads, parking spaces, greenery, etc.)

The Granary as its names specify was storage for farm products harvested on the site. It is a vernacular building made of a Wooden structure and a Load-bearing brick wall. The interior pattern and decor contradict the clean concrete external facade. The stairs are also made of wood connecting the 4-story building vertically. The structural woods supporting the pitched roof create a decent half trapezoidal space on the third floor and vibrant triangular space on the fourth floor of the old building.

CASE STUDY 03

Design concept: If children was architects, design will be a game. Use wooden sticks to prop up a big roof, let the train drive into. Fold the roof diagonally, there would be a more wonderful space underneath. Coat the roof surface with a layer of silver, which then reflects the changing sky.

Structure: Replacing steel or concrete with wood can reduce the carbon emissions per square meter to one-tenth. At the same time, wood is a natural renewable resource, and its growth is a “carbon reducing” process. Electricity, pipelines, and air-conditioning equipment are all hidden, only the stacked wooden structures are exposed. This is also to let people understand the construction process and feel the beauty of the wooden structure.

CONCEPT

STOR’Y

D iverting the interest to tell the history an D 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 storehouse 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.

CREATING LINEAR ARRANGEMENT OF DWELLING SPACE

- Concept interpretation

- Link green space with granary

- GRANARY- FOCAL POINT

NEW CIRCULATION FOR VEHICLES AND PARKING SPACE

- Avoid south-west to north-east road

- Opportunity to link the building with the river

- Clear view to front side of the site

- Parking distribution

MINIMUM INTERVENTION OF BUILDING WITH HUMAN MADE ELEMENTS

- Wider green spaces

- Unobstructed linkage between nature and the mass

FUNCTIONAL LAYOUT

The clients can use the proposed cultural center in bringing the community together and create a landmark for the city. They can generate income by renting the spaces provided for art classes, confrence, theater, galleries and other similar events. The exhibition sapce will be a good showcase for the craftsman working within the site. Meanwhile the resturants and pubs with open reading and sitting space will be profitable & attractive aspect for the site.

STRUCTURE

The wooden truss of the granary will be exposed in the new proposed block. They will be integrated with a concrete wall finish. These main wooden structural trusses will be placed within a 10m gap between them. They will act as a visual barrier in dividing the long linear mass into an individual pitched roof block. This makes it bend with the building morphology of the city. A secondary wooden truss will be within 2m difference to support the swirling roof design.

INTERIOR

The newly proposed mass will have a slick interior space. A concrete surface finish with glass railings and semi-transparent furnishing. Cold lighting will magnify the interior space. The upper floors will have an exposed wooden structure as a replica of the granary but with a lighter touch to it. On Contrast, the interior space for the granary will be a warm one. A floor decking and exposed wooden truss support the roofs. The rough surface finish is to exemplifies the historical essence it has.

FACADE

Like the interior, the exterior facade will try to create harmony using contrast. The deconstructive form of the new building will be covered by a reflective Aluminum facade. A vertical pattern, gray Aluminum will blend with the twisting form. The granary will be a structural plaster wall with a classical approach for its approach, with repetitive and symmetrical windows. Thus, the granary will be a dominant form with a stable and clear facade.

LANDSCAPE

Evergreen grass with colorful flowering will decorate the plot surrounding the new building. The West side of the structure will be submerged into this green lawn. It implies that the new mass is a link between nature and history by connecting the landscape and ending up with a solid free-standing building, the granary. A dry lawn with short shrubs will cover the area around the granary to give it an antique look.
