City Library of Přerov

The theme of my diploma thesis is a study of a new building for the city library of Přerov in a location Na Marku. Location is on waterfront of the river Bečva close to the new bridge Tyršův Most, on the Northern edge of the historic center of Přerov. The location takes in a free space between the Na Marku street and river Bečva and also a part of an incomplete block between streets Na Marku, Mostní and Pivovarská. In the study I resulted from the historic estate in the area, in particular the renaissance church, which used to stand in the location. I locate the library as a solitaire building in the trace of the church. The library, in the place as designed in the study, would be a dominant building of the closer area. In the same time it would be a distinctive but not dominant part of the characteristic panorama of Přerov. For the free part of the incomplete block I propose a residential according to the scale of the surrounding buildings. By completing the block and placing a new solitaire of the library I form a new public space between the library and the bridge - in front of the library´s main entrance
