Transformation of an industrial building into the Arts school

Idea projektu

Merina in Trenčín, Slovakia was a textile factory. Part of this industrial area was a building of "Práčovňa" ("wash building" - the wool was laundred here and prepared for another processes of making textile), it's four-storey hall building, nowadays it isn't used for it's original purpose. The task is to create a new arts college, which will cover creative young people, studying fashion, design, etc. The goals are to return the previous atmosphere to this place and also add some new structures, which will create atractive public spaces, connect the students with a public, sensitively unite interior with exterior, provide place for relax and socialization for students, together with the earliest Práčovňa building.

Popis projektu

Principle of this work was using the original construction of industrial building and as a part of urban concept filling the structure with a new additional object. In urban concept, I tried to make more pleasant human scale, micro spaces and linear parks, and with this I continued in architecture. The additional object and original building create together park, which serves as a space of students gathering. Park is following vertical composition axis in urbanism of city of Trenčín, which connects the river Váh and woods above the city, called "Brezina". The roof of the new structure makes a shelter and at the same time, it's walkable and full of greenery. In the original object the most markable was industrial saw roof, which are actively used in my project and vertically interconnect the two highest floors. I also work with variability of interior walls. It is possible to bring design studios together and also separate them.
