Modern Art Gallery

The subject of this bachelor thesis is the draft of a new building of the Modern Art Gallery. The plots in question, i. e. no. 272/51 and no. 272/56, on which the construction project is placed, is located in the cadastral area of the city of Brno, with the main access to the land from Benešova street. The building is situated on the land near the border of the plot with Koliště Street, i. e. on its northeast side. The basic concept of the project, that originates from the sole frequency of the surrounding streets, aims to balance the unevenness of the housing development. At the same time, one of the objectives of this thesis is to develop the plot so that the character of the circular bypass around the city centre is preserved. The shape of the final draft was greatly influenced by two urban axes, namely north and southwest, one of which characterizes the housing development in the direction from the Brno City Hall and the other is characteristic for buildings located in the direction of the Main Train Station. The axes then meet in the middle of the proposed building. The proposed building has four floors, while the underground floor also serves as an garage. On the first floor there is a café, which is connected to a outdoor space with staircase steps. The layout of the gallery on all floors is multifunctional. The third floor also partially serves as a terrace. The proposed building is characterized by inducing a feeling of lightening, which was achieved by embedding the first and third floors inwards and also rounding the corners of the façade of the second floor. An important element of the building is also the solution of natural light penetration. Within the exhibition areas, natural lighting is solved by a fully glazed façade, where a foil is inserted between the individual glasses, which absorbs all direct rays. Only neutral dispersion light gets inside the object. The facade of the building is solved by concrete cladding in its natural design
