T. G. M. Square Tábor - competition results

1st Prize (120,000 CZK)

Authors: Ĺubomíra Olasová, Martin (SR); Andrea Prajsová, Brno; Martina Štollová, Horní Bojanovice; Arnošt Fabík, Petr Fabík; Třebíč; Stěpán Hirsch, Plzeň; Viktor Jindra, Brno; Ondřej Kučera, Frýdek-Místek - Atelier Fabík s.r.o. from Třebíč

Juror's Evaluation: Confident and inventive solution, simple design with a striking student garden corresponding to both schools and the library; however, we recommend better connection of the square area towards the library façade. Incorporation of the statue into the student garden with balanced paving and the intention of inscriptions in lighting referencing T.G. Masaryk sensitively emphasizes the character of the square. The water feature suitably separates the green zone from the paving. The relaxation zone in the eastern part appropriately complements the student garden, and both correspond in different times of the day. On the eastern side of the square, we recommend considering a change of parking spaces to diagonal or perpendicular for higher capacity, evaluate the clarity of the light inscriptions, and specify the selection of furniture in the student garden. We recommend considering the adjustment of greenery with an emphasis on the reverence for the sculptural work and the view of the statue from the square area.

2nd Prize (80,000 CZK)

Authors: Ing. arch. Zuzana Boháčová - Prague, Ing. arch. Jaromír Hainc - Olomouc and Ing. arch. Barbora Simajchlová – Prague

Juror's Evaluation: The quality presentation of the proposal is confident and clear, with a maximum share of walkable paved areas and clear division into relaxation and gathering areas. The simple rectangular grid is enlivened with corten strips and benches, the connection of the square area to the library and economic school, and the incorporation of the whole space of the western façade to the street is considered a significant contribution; however, parking spaces on Dobrovského Street are not addressed in the proposal. The distancing of the bike path from the school entrance is deemed appropriate. Strengthening the water feature in the square is worth considering.
 

3rd Prize (60,000 CZK)

Authors: 2H s.r.o., Prague - Ing. arch. Jan Hořejší, Ing. arch. Ivan Hořejší, Ing. arch. Vít Podráský, collaboration: Petr Vacek, Jan Gašpárek, Jakub Kopecký

Juror's Evaluation: Inventive solution, the entire area is paved, and at its edges, grass strips break through in the spirit of fields. The symmetry is not schematic; it is balanced, and the greenery solution is in mutual harmony. The central open area is disturbed by the placement of the water feature, with the proposal dominated by the separation of the central rectangle from the rest of the square area. The overly emphasized traffic line in the façade of the school. The axonometric projection at a scale of 1:500 sufficiently replaces the overall territorial solution at the required scale of 1:500.
 

Award (25,000 CZK)

Authors: Doc. Ing. Miloslav Meixner, Ing. arch. Roman Strnad and Ing. arch. Tomáš Růžička – Brno

Juror's Evaluation: Balanced ratio between gathering area and relaxation areas on the eastern and western sides of the square. The inserted construction elements have a simple, non-disruptive character. The ambitions of relaxation areas as children's playgrounds are exaggerated.

Juror's Evaluation: Very professionally presented proposal, evokes a pleasant atmosphere of the square with sufficient gathering space and greenery solution; however, the pergola and café are problematic from a realization and maintenance perspective.
