Theatre of Slovácko I.

The subject of this diploma thesis is the location and design of a theater building in the body of a regional center - the town of Uherské Hradiště. The existing theater building is housed in a rented Sokolovna (sport-cultural building) on Tyršovo Square. There is also a small stage in a house on Mariánské náměstí. The capacity of the auditorium of the large scene is 370 spectators, corresponding to the needs of the city and the region. However the size of the stage is completely inadequate, the height of the flytower, the absence of back and side stages, Also, the workshops and warehouses are currently located away from the theater. The project addresses the current unfavorable situation of the theater, which is, in the long-term, interest to the city of Uherské Hradiště itself. For my own proposal I chose an unused site inside a meander of the Morava River. Besides direct contact with the river, the place is marked by its wide visual links to the surrounding areas and, at present, also the separation from the city center. As a result of the proposal, my hypothesis is that the overall regeneration and attraction of the embankment area will be enhanced by a proposed placement of a footbridge connecting both river banks. My aim was to build links between the theater and its outdoor spaces, which open up to the city with its publicly accessible areas. I believe that because of the chosen location on the embankment of the Morava river not only do I propose a public building but to extend the city center itself. One of the main objectives was to connect the natural element of the river and the surrounding environment with art, culture and the city itself
