„... but the comfort of the country road speaks only as long as there are people who, born in a different atmosphere, can hear it.”
„Forced solitude has gradually gotten under my skin. I found that it is actually nice to be alone sometimes. The relationship with the surroundings becomes maximally intensified. It's strange - in childhood I hated mowing the grass, picking apples... And now I love it.”
The tumultuous history of the village of Ječměniště. The village in the valley between Austria and Moravia originated as a farming settlement with a street, a square, and a chapel. After the war, it was evacuated, and later, with the construction of the Iron Curtain, it completely disappeared. Only the chapel remains - it served as a storage space, is deteriorating, and is a witness of past times. The nearest village is several kilometers away. The surrounding flat landscape has been long used agriculturally, cultivated, settled; the relationship with humans is strongly embedded here. The disconnection from the surrounding world and the presence of signs of settlement create the possibility for a different model of land use by humans. Perhaps temporary. Perhaps the place, even with the chapel, is going through its century of decline, but it will awaken...
The path to Austria
I am rediscovering the path that leads across the border to Austria, which was erased by the former Iron Curtain. Its direction is still evident in the landscape.
Chapel
I am removing the roof from the chapel, which is not original and lacks a spire. The gable of the chapel and the apse, the form's elementary essence of the chapel, is preserved by a concrete wreath. The chapel becomes a garden behind the wall, open, roofless. Within the walls of the chapel is now enclosed a piece of the surrounding outdoor world, designated for someone. Its emptiness is again relative. It is empty, just as it was empty when it served its original purpose. The interior is covered with grass, around white walls without windows and golden-painted metal doors, forced alterations after 1948 are preserved and highlighted.
Temporary accommodation objects in the landscape
A temporary human dwelling in a landscape shaken by the blows of social changes. The Ječměniště site can immediately after its dramatic transformation offer mutual benefits to today's human, to connect to the episode of human habitation. To react to the current development of society. Most likely, it will be used temporarily, a transitional state.
Perhaps there will be a person who needs to escape.
Whether to think, work on something, focus, break away, escape.
To clarify something. To realize. To rest.
In the trace of the public space of the vanished village of Ječměniště, I propose objects for rentable accommodation.
Objects that belong together and each is named according to its designated activity. A person who stays here has shelters among whose porches they move through free landscape and perform activities. Consciously, concentrated. They eat, sleep, think. They have a landscape that is both a corridor and a courtyard for them. They have a garden in the walls of the chapel, which encloses a piece of the surrounding world just for them. When they move through it, they have the opportunity to realize where they are going.

Why focus on monasteries? Such a specific type of buildings that are found in every town and region? Over the last 65 years, most church complexes in Bohemia have gone through turbulent times, many of them are deteriorating, some are being repaired, some are owned by the state, others by the church, and some even by private entities. In the organism of cities, these complexes are a city within a city. As if they have always been there, the surrounding life adapts to them. Their closure has taught us to overlook them, but that would be a mistake. Their economic power is already a thing of the past, yet we still have their architectural heritage. In the case of Znojmo, church complexes occupy 9.8% of the area of the historical center. Therefore, the cities must account for them, their functioning, or conversely their non-functioning, supplementing or finding new uses. We understand the monastery as part of the urban whole. The acquired knowledge about the functioning of individual orders, their architectural development, and their relationship to urban structure is confronted with economic possibilities and we incorporate monasteries into the organism of the city. Thus, monasteries become a place that stimulates the development of the surroundings.
This is practiced on the example of four Znojmo monasteries located in the historic core – the Capuchin Monastery, Minorite Monastery, Dominican Monastery, and Jesuit College. None of these monasteries serves its original purpose anymore; some have stabilized functions, others are unused and waiting for their opportunity.

Cabane Rambert
Cabane Rambert is a mountain lodge. It is located in the Swiss Alps,
at an altitude of 2580 m above sea level.
It is built on a ridge with a 270° view.
To its back is the summit of Grand Muveran
and in front of it Mont Blanc.
The lodge burned down, leaving only the perimeter stone walls.
Access
My cabane connects to the past
My cabane uses already constructed
My cabane utilizes already used materials
My cabane is not an addition, but a continuation
My cabane occupies as little of the alpine landscape as possible
My cabane does not compete with the mountains, it cannot
My cabane is a shelter, a hideaway, a lodge, an archetype
My cabane connects stone with the stone of the present time - concrete
My cabane is compact
My cabane has a gable roof
My cabane has a solid cover of stone and concrete, inside it is wooden
My cabane has a fireplace and a chimney
My cabane has a room on the top floor connected to the mountains
My cabane has a bivouac, a bivouac with a special view, for special occasions My cabane connects the horizontality of stone with the horizontality of exposed concrete with pressed formwork from wooden slats
My cabane is cozy
Technical Solution
The extension of the cabane is made of lightweight and insulating Liapor concrete. The ceilings are wooden-beam. The truss is made of triangular laminated wood trusses that form the ceiling of the top floor and the roof structure. The core is made of solid wooden panels. The water reservoir is located in the existing spot below the kitchen and at the highest point of the roof. The cabane is heated with solid fuel and heat is distributed throughout the lodge. Solid fuels are also used to heat the water. The source of electrical energy is photovoltaic panels located on the southwest side of the roof.
