Synopsis:

The first comprehensive design course in urban design as an application of theoretical preparation on a specific territory.

Teaching of surveys and analyses, selection of research, variant preparation, defence and refinement of the design, technical and specific accompaniments, balance and visualization, final presentation at the exhibition.

Requirements:

Attendance at the studio is mandatory in both the morning teaching and afternoon consultation sessions, both of which will always be documented by attendance records.

A minimum of 10 consultations per semester must be attended during studio instruction.

Preparation and presentation of research on similar examples from abroad must be completed

Compulsory presentations and discussions of the proposals must be completed, the dates of which will be

always set in advance. Participation in the presentation does not replace the consultation.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

A. Analysis of the project area :

( minimum scope presented at final presentation, partly e.g.

in the portfolio ):

1. Broader relationships ( existing zoning plan, operational and compositional context of the broader area)

2. 2. basic photo documentation of the current state of the environment (2 - 4 photos)

3. problem drawing with integration of all essential information about the territory, values,

problems and other phenomena, older solutions

4. Author's report. Text summary of the analytical part

Other optional : condition diagrams, historical maps, property conditions,

surveys, plans to date, etc.)

B. Variants of the concept:

( minimum scope presented at final presentation , partly e.g.

In the portfolio):

5. Variants of the concept - situation of min. 2 different site layouts,

Priorities of solutions, evaluation of variants

6. research of similar solutions from abroad

Other optional : spatial design schemes, elaborated material

variants, visualizations or working model

C. Site design:

( minimum scope of the submitted urban study) :

7.. Spatial concept of the site - final version - situation 1:1000 (1:1500,

1:2000), with conceptual design scheme

8. Organizational and operational concept of the site - situation 1:2000 ( 1:1500),

9. spatial documentation of the whole site - min. 2 visualizations, axonometry

or perspectives of the whole ensemble, facades of buildings and their creativity are not evaluated, volumetric or material accentuation possible or expected.

10. proposal of regulatory conditions at least on the A3 cut-out of the area under consideration

11. working model - final version

12. author's report: a) Principles of the proposed solution including regulatory conditions

b) Basic balance of the proposal (urban, infrastructure, economic)

Other optional : sections or section views through the territory, partial operational and other

unspecified diagrams, other visualisations,

D. Design of the parterre - selected part of the public space system

( minimum scope of the submitted urban design study)

12. spatial public space situation public space or public space system. 1.500,

1:750) , plastic situation

13. situation with the identification of the elements of the parterre ( 1:500, 1:750, 1:1000), technical situation

14. library of selected elements in the form of a mosaic of visual representations

15. visualisation of the selected detail - min. 2 pcs , of which 1 pcs from the pedestrian horizon

16. author's report for the parterre :a) Design principles for the design of the parterre

Other optional : sections or sectional views through the area, partial operational and other

unspecified diagrams, other visualisations

Note : changes of scale, exceptionally of scale only in agreement with the supervisor and in

in relation to the extent of the area to be covered. Activities beyond the minimum scope can be taken into account as a bonus in the evaluation of the work.

Study Objective:

Atelier as a workshop for discussion and acquisition of appropriate working practices in designing..

Introducing the student to the specialization, to the design of specific urban tasks in constant contact with teachers and in permanent discussion and confrontation with other students..

The urban study has 2 objectives. The first is to propose a concept for the development or even redevelopment of a part of a specific city or town, the second is to propose the spatial vision and character of one or a system of public spaces.

These tend to be sites (or larger urban ensembles) within and outside the built-up area that have a housing component. The emphasis is on complementing the structure and volumes of development and designing the composition and differentiation of public spaces,

The selection of themes from the Czech Republic and abroad, themes offered by K 127 and free themes ( brought by students, competitions, workshops) while fulfilling the necessary framework and conditions of the project assignment. Team work and common themes are not excluded, but each author will always be evaluated for his/her design area or variant.
