Residential Complex in Brno - Komín
Stoklásek, Rostislav ; Kurtis, Gabriel (referee) ; Makovský, Zdeněk (advisor)
Residential complex at the hillside of Palacký vrch in Brno-Komín. A location just in between a 70's apartment houses and a large forest is nowadays a gardening colony, in the proposal is the plot rasterized with cubical houses, which are creating a new piece to a whole mosaic of the hillside's development. The complex is aligned with the scale and topography of the surroundings, but it doesn't directly connect to the development around it. Thanks to its own strong structure new spaces are created, in a modest scale, providing enough privacy and at the same time spaces where people can meet. A structure, that is independent from the changes that the surrounding is surely going to undergo.

Emerging identity: Žižkov district as a framework of collective memory
Stoklásek, Rostislav
The paper introduces understanding architecture as a mental image, an imprint of a physical space in collective memory. It focuses on the urban qualities of the Žižkov district, a late 19th century housing development in Prague, acknowledged in discussions over its replacement by a prefabricated housing estate in late 1980s. A theoretical concept introduced by Maurice Halbwachs is applied in order to propose a perspective indicating that these qualities developed gradually over time, as Žižkov was becoming a framework of collective memory.

The Architecture of the City: Aldo Rossi’s notion of permanence in a Czech context using the example of the Letná development in Prague
Stoklásek, Rostislav
By the extent of its observation, Aldo Rossi’s notion of permanence, from his book „The Architecture of the City”, shows the potential for its contemporary application. The paper describes the modern development of Letná using Rossi’s concept of permanence. Letná is an area with a well-documented evolution of plans, expectations, and constructions. The paper shows how Rossi’s work enables the linking of individual stages of Letná’s development, being able to also describe its non-physical artifacts. This case study analysis proves the usability of the applied terminology for further research on permanence in Czech urban structures.
