The cultural centre in Brno

This bachelor thesis further elaborates the newly elaborated architectural and constructional study to the Documentation for building permit and Documentation for construction work. The assignment of the work was "The Cultural Centre in Brno" located on the plot no 723 at the Údolní street opposite the Obilný trh. It concerns a gap site at the 19th century historical housebuilding resulting from the bombing of Brno during the World War II. It regards a sloping land rising to Špilberk Castle. The proposed new building of the cultural center fills the whole gap site between one existing detached house and a row of houses going towards the historical centre while respecting the street line, which was one of the aims of my work. Another aim was to create a relatively quiet and pleasant area near a busy street connecting the adjacent Obilný trh with Špilberk Castle and recently opened Otevřená zahrada, which is a public outdoor area built by a neighboring ecological center. An outdoor open-air atrium, surrounded by the new building, was created and it is ended with a staircase following the rising slope. The building has three above-ground floors, the first floor spreads further into the plot and carves into the slope where the level of the roof ties to the adjacent slope. The entrance to the atrium is formed by an open passage that seems to be pressed into the mass of the object and narrowing vertically in the direction from the street to the atrium. The aim was also the maintenance of the green in the area, all roofs were designed as intensive vegetative with the intention to achieve the contrast between this green vegetation and "rough" corten facade, which by its random perforation suggests a free abstraction of art taking place inside
