DESCRIPTION

1 / COMMUNITY SHELTER

2 / STRUCTURE

4 / BIO

We want to design something what will serve to the daily life of the village community; something what will serve well to the participants of the next summer schools. In fact, this wish was the starting point to our design process.

The structure is composed of timber pieces 20 mm x 90 mm and 40mm x 90mm in section. These wooden elements create spatial frames in shape of arc. Our proposal is basically created by eight wooden arcs. So the “Community shelter” is tunnel like building. The basic dimensions of the structure are 3700 mm x 7000 mm. For its construction we will use basic screws and ordinary common tools. The roof is designed as a plastic or PVC foil; it is just the one additional cost.

Radek Toman is a PhD Candidate at Faculty of Architecture, Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic.

From 2014 to 2016 he worked on his research in China with Chinese Government Scholarship. In 2014, before he went to China, he taught Basics of Architecture Design for the 1st–year students at Brno University of Technology.

In China he taught 1st–year international students at Southeast University, subject architecture design.

During his teaching, he worked as one of the instructors for a bamboo structure which was the winner of the 2015 Bamboo Construction Festival and next year in 2016 his team reached the top five projects of the Bamboo Construction Festival. During summer semester 2016 he taught also at Wenzhou University (he taught parallel at Wenzhou and Nanjing), where he led the Interior Design Studio for the 2nd–year students. Currently he is finishing his doctoral thesis at Brno University of Technology.

His PhD thesis called “Urban Form Matters, Cultural and political aspects of Chinese urbanization”. He focuses on fast urbanization, different urban forms and its influence to the urban society. He is interested in communal and social aspects of cities and housing in the 21st century.

We are designing “Community shelter” – house which is covering all common activities. It is open structure serving to the needs of creative student’s society. It has two main spaces and two main functions. On the ground floor there is big open space for daily life and daily activities, such as lectures, working, parties, eating, meetings and so on. The upper floor contains sleeping platform – an accommodation for students. So it provides 3 / SCHEDULE the basic and important functions for the summer school and its social life.

Our time planning is quite simple – based on our construction process. First we need to prepare timber The structure itself is quite flexible in using. It can contain pieces and drill the holes for screws. After that we almost every part of communal daily life. This flexibility will make the columns and construct arcs as the main and versatility guarantees easy future use. In necessary structural elements. When columns and arcs are ready need it can change its functions, our scenario is suited we can connect them together and step by step assemble well for the summer school, but its functional flexibility the whole structure. After that we will make sleeping can be also use during the year, when the summer school platform and tighten the roof. is not running.

Besides working on our proposal we can also show a small The structure itself doesn´t contain the courtyard. lectures or presentations about our teaching experience It will create courtyard together with other structures during the similar event – Bamboo Construction festival; already situated on the site. So we want to build where our team was awarded by the first price in 2015 it in courtyard 6, 8, or 9 – there are other existing structures and reached the top five in 2016. We can also prepare and we can create spatial relationships in between a presentation about construction and local typology of rural of them. We will decide the exact position of our proposal houses in countries where we have lived or travelled (China, when we will visit the side and when we will see the other Tibet, Hong Kong, Vietnam, South Korea, and so on). structures in reality. Our proposal is open on two sides and other two sides are a little bit closed, so it gives us good possibilities to consider and create the spatial relations of our courtyard.
