III. Bohuslav Fuchs Prize - semifinalists
Kamila Marková, 2nd year, for the project "Multi-family House Brno"
(supervisor prof. Ing. arch. Vladimír Šlapeta, DrSc.)
The large plot on the southern slope of a gentle hill offers a perfect view of the Brno Exhibition Centre and its surroundings. I used this fact in the design itself and placed the building on the ridge of the slope to fully utilize the view and also influence the development of the layout of the house. The building is essentially three stories high, with penthouses added on top. It contains twelve apartments each approximately 100m² and two duplex apartments with a total area of 130m².
Jakub Stýblo, 3rd year, for the project "Renovation and Extension of the Sokolovna in Červenka"
(supervisor Ing. arch. Jan Kratochvíl)
The small village near Litovel did not have its own center for gatherings, social events, and celebrations. The goal was to create a square that meets the needs of the village residents. The dominant axis of the square is the town hall tower. The second dominant feature of the square is the newly completed part of the Sokolovna building.
The completed part of the Sokolovna responds in its shape to the form of the plot and the surrounding buildings. The second floor overlaps the first and creates a new analogy to the arcades. The entire building offers great variability of functions.
Markéta Kamená, 3rd year, for the project "Renovation and Extension of the Sokolovna in Červenka"
(supervisor Ing. arch. Jan Kratochvíl)
The original Sokolovna building from 1927 was proportionally and materially balanced, had a properly oriented entrance in relation to the village square, and its character constituted the cultural core of the village. A lack of facilities led to the gradual expansion of the mass with several new extensions, during which important architectural-urban connections were not considered.
The cleared mass of the Sokolovna now forms a dominant feature of the square again. The entrance returns to its original position and a dignified dispersal space has been restored in front of it. The new mass of the extension visually encloses the square and faces it with a café located on the ground floor.
Bc. Nela Gottvaldová, Bc. Jan Stratílek, both 5th year, for the project "KopřivNICE MAIN STREET – Renewal of the City Center (Res Publica II – Kopřivnice)"
(supervisors Ing. arch. David Mikulášek, Ing. arch. Jan Sochor)
The functionalist city with an industrial tradition today lacks a clear identity and a real center. The development is fragmented and drowned in overgrown greenery. Surprisingly, the former main road of the village layout still exists. It is now more of a forgotten "back street," but exhibits urban qualities, connecting significant buildings and linking to the city's largest development areas – the Tatra complex and temporary buildings. Concentrating public functions in this street and gradually transforming it into a city avenue will be a new impetus for the city's development. At the intersection with a newer road leading to the Tatra complex is the most important newly designed space of the center: the main square with a new vertical accent, a slender multi-functional tower.
Bc. Libor Urbánek, Bc. Ondřej Švancara, both 5th year, for the project "Res Publica II – Kopřivnice"
(supervisors Ing. Vítězslav Nový, Ing. arch. Kamil Mrva)
The urban study focuses on the central area of the city of Kopřivnice. This area is bounded to the south by Husova Street, to the east by the railway line, to the west by Štefánikova Street, and to the north by a dead-end branch of Štefánikova Street providing access to the Tatra factory. We consider this central part, extending further north to the villa of Dr. Bönisch, along with the main square, as an area with the greatest capability to influence the current form and functioning of the city.
We are working here on clearing public spaces of the prevailing parking function, on the development of important functions of the city (city hall, polyclinic, LDN), on improving the connection of the city to long-distance public transport, and simultaneously on representing Kopřivnice by utilizing its cultural heritage (Šustal villas). The main identity of the city is then founded on its industrial tradition.
Lukáš Ildža, 2nd year, for the project "Obřany – Utilization of Vacant Factory Buildings for Housing"
(supervisor prof. Ing. arch. Helena Zemánková, CSc.)
This concerns the conversion of a factory building from an old laundry dating back to 1912, excelling due to its location on an "island" bordered by two branches of the Svitava River. The proposed concept respects the era of the building, its expression, cooperates with its structural solution, but converts its function into spacious apartments and offices. In addition to changing the use, several construction interventions were made, such as creating an atrium at the western façade of the building, extending through the full height of the building. Each floor has a different cut-out shape, giving the interior greater dynamism. On the southern façade, glassed protrusions were created, expanding the area of the apartments and offering an impressive view of the city and the river. In contrast, on the eastern façade, some segments are "pushed" into the building, creating terraces.
Radomír Feňo, 2nd year, for the project "tribute to cs democracy / tribute to Václav Havel"
(supervisor Ing. arch. Jan Mléčka)
Concept: Absolute freedom is infinite.
Václav Havel can be characterized not only by the well-known terms playwright, dissident, president, but also as a friend, fighter, bohemian.
The ideal is unattainable; once achieved, it ceases to be an ideal.
Location: Letná is the site of protest demonstrations.
The memorial will blend into the life of Letná. It will become part of recreation, sports, and entertainment, but also larger gatherings of people or protests as a symbol of what truth has accomplished.
Michal Stehlík, 3rd year, for the project "Urban Interventions Třebíč"
(supervisor doc. Ing. arch. Karel Havliš)
The main goal of this work was to transform the unused building of the former savings bank into a functioning urban element that responds appropriately to the needs of the city's residents. A multifunctional urban house was designed with a corresponding type of housing and widely usable spaces for services, administration, and commerce. The building is located in close proximity to the historic core of the city on Soukopova Street in the former circuit of medieval fortifications. Part of the project was addressing nearby urban connections, primarily according to the land use plan, creating a pedestrian passage through the area, and solving parking issues in the area. The newly designed mass fully respects the natural paths of pedestrians passing through the area.
Barbora Hladišová, 5th year, for the project "Terraced Houses"
(supervisors doc. Ing. arch. Jiří Oplatek, doc. Ing. arch. Dagmar Glosová, CSc.)
The addressed plot is located on Veslařská Street in the Brno Jundrov district. Its location along the river and transport accessibility makes it an attractive place for living. The slope with a gradient of 33% is not typical for regular development. The design of the houses responds to this fact. The task was to create compact housing on this terrain. Each of the three terraced houses offers 4 apartments, the highest of which is a luxurious duplex with an area of 259 m². Garage spaces are at street level and the apartments above them gradually cut into the terrain. The terraces open to the south and are accessible from the main living room.
The apartments are accessed from the northern side into a vestibule, which also contains an elevator. Each of the apartments is thus accessible not only by an outdoor staircase but also by an elevator starting on the 1st floor.
Petra Krajčová, 3rd year, for the project "Winery – Winemaking, Building in the Landscape"
(supervisor prof. Ing. arch. Hana Urbášková, Ph.D.)
The initial idea of human scale led me to the idea of dividing the mass into smaller parts, as was the case in former village farms. The communication space in the center creates a small square, a set of buildings composing a smaller composition in the landscape. I chose three masses, individually separated by function. The first serves the production of wine. Directly related to the production is the cellar with the wine bar on the upper floor. The buildings are connected underground, so on the surface, there is an impression of separated masses. From the wine bar designated for tasting, there is a magnificent view of Pálava and Nové Mlýny through large windows. The third building is for accommodating guests, employees, and the owner.
Marianna Líšková, 5th year, for the project "Ring! Extension of the City Ring Road in Brno"
(supervisor Ing. Nicol Gale)
The solution of the area was conditioned by moving the railway hub to the location Brno-Jih, and subsequently canceling the operation of the railway line crossing the area. The railway viaduct was preserved along with its transport function, but for pedestrians and cyclists. This route is further connected to the city center and currently passes through unused railway lands. The design includes further utilization of the lands in accordance with the environment of the Ring, for a public park and a cultural building (dance center) with underground parking.
