The diploma project is a polemic on the current state of the Czech border region and a speculation on its future development. A test case is the settlement of Hatě, which is part of Chvalovice, a municipality located close to the border with Austria. Hatě is a specific territory - an urban structure that was created in the 1990s right at the border crossing, in the former duty-free zone, and even after its disappearance it is developing into a large commercial and entertainment zone. It targets mainly visitors from Austria, coming to the Czech Republic in search of cheaper goods and services. Hatě is not the only such example - commercial and entertainment zones are regularly repeated at all major border crossings between the Czech Republic and Austria or Germany. The places are defined by bizarre aesthetics, "decadent" businesses and deregulation - as if almost anything is possible here. The project is based on personal experiences with the territory, an attempt to come to terms with a place defined by total non-architecture and asks what is the position of an architect in such a space. Hatě is the antithesis of the city, a "zone" for escaping the everyday, a place that contradicts the basic principles of urbanism. It is a place that offers a reflection on both society and the profession of architecture itself. The work deals not only with the "zone" in Hatě, but also with the municipality of Chvalovice, in whose cadastral territory Hatě is located. Through the mutual synergy of these two places, the project speculates on the possible future development of the area. The polemic is based on the acceleration of the development of the area, which is pushed to the extreme by the proposal. The subject of the proposal is a conceptual master plan or a spatial study that speculates on the possible masterplan of the area of Chvalovice together with the settlement of Hatě.

The project is dealing with building of a new Faculty of Architecture at BUT. The target area is located on one of BUT campuses between Údolní, Úvoz and Tvrdého streets.The proposal envisages the placement of the entire FA program in the building of the former barracks from the 19th century on Úvoz Street and adjoining outbuildings. The "extension" is not only an extension, as an enlargement of an existing building, but it is an opportunity for its reconfiguration. This creates a hybrid, a game between the old and the new, which forms a new way of using the object. Programmatically, the entire proposal is divided according to three levels of accessibility: the public, students and teachers and employees. The spatial solution is then solved as the mutual interaction of the three groups of users.
