Digital fabricationLocation: Universitat fur Angewandte Kunst, Vienna, AustriaThe project is a result of a group work at the workshop SpringChallenge 2012 in the Angen-wandte. The aim was to design and fabricate human-size installation in the school inner yard. The state of the art software were used for the structural testing as well as for design and fabrication process. The final structure is produced from the cardboard and is easily rebuild-able or recycled.

Ryegaard HouseLocation: Ryegaard farm, near Roskilde, DenmarkThe house is located in a quiet isolated area in the forest. I have proposed a group of living units, which include required technical equipment and variable shared space between them.The shared space is limited and divided by door-like moving glass walls which can adapt the house to the different level of openness to the exterior as well as different level of connectiv-ity between the units basing of the social structure of its inhabitants.

UNDER THE BRIDGE

Bridge HouseLocation: Narodni trida, Prague, Czech RepublicThe proposed pedestrian bridge connects the upper level of a city square with a lower level of a commercial space and a metro entrance. The proposed structure offer new artificial land-scape which enriches the life of the square. Temporary living units are located under the structure for the purposes of the short-time inhabiting. Living units are made with an experi-mental technology using nylon-like textile materials. The irregular net of the bridge supports offers wide variety of connections between the living units as well as the possibility for the exhibiting and performance activities.

Carlsberg HousingLocation: Carlsberg, Copenhagen, DenmarkThe idea of the project was to deconstruct the traditional block and show every single element of it independently. Created transparency and diversity suppose to improve the site environ-ment. Typology of the block is influensed by the city context but at the same time suppose to create new “human-size” environment. The inspiration by the medieval town as an opposite to the classicistic perimetrical block is a way to connect the scale of the surrounding skyscrappers and the market square.

Church in HolesoviceLocation: Holesovice, Prague, Czech RepublicThe project is located in the formerly industrial area, currently redeveloped. Industrial history and questions of sustainability defined the choise of material which is prefabricated concrete. Outer shapes of the church are influenced by the local situation and the shape of the site. Gradients of light create the character of the church space, enforcing the hierarchy of its zones and providing certain spectacularity of the interiors.

Bookstore BerlinLocation: Humboldthafen, Berlin, GermanyThe project included two main fases: local developmet strategy and design of the one of the buildings. The site is divided on two parts, each given a function basing on its orientation.Proposal includes wide spectre of cultural interventions into the site, a bookstore and a library being the first. The bookstore is oriented on a communication and Hamburgerbahnhof museum, while library is quite isolated in the upper floor and a tower.

Roof HousingLocation: Trondheim, NorwayThe project is exploring possibilities of expansion above the city block. Two sections of the flats are oriented to the fjord and are not lacking any sunlight. Gallery typol-ogy gives the housing a certain communal character and enforces the sence of neighbourhood. Vertical gardens bring bits of nature to the flat residents as well as to existing block inhabitants. Structural character unifies the block while not endan-gering its statics.
