The original building of the academic canteen was built in 1929 as the work of architect Vinzinger Baier, a professor of architecture. In terms of context, the building is located on the border between a busy city and a vast park. The premises and mass of the building respond in abstraction to the city / street transition with clear order and nature through a rational conception of disposition and facade into the street, and subsequent decomposition and irrationalization both vertically and horizontally towards the park. Thus, the object is a special kind of fragmentary gradient, and so it is handled within the framework of the reconstruction of the Center of Architecture, linking archive of modern architecture and creative center in one institution.

Projective space
Štuříková, Blanka ; Zein, Lynda (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The design of the cemetery is based on the findings of the project Projective Space, which analyzes the memories of individuals of their spatial experiences that evoked emotions. Spatial collage as a method of creating an environment which, due to its ambiguity, allows individual interpretation by an individual person and evokes memories, is applied to the design of a cemetery for human composting. After the complete transformation of human remains into fertile land, the grave becomes useless. The dead lose their posthumous address. From a cultural point of view, however, the ritual of burial and the symbolic, mental value of the cemetery play an important role for the relatives in coping with the loss of their beloved. The design works with the culturally conditioned idea of the cemetery as an image of the world. With the disappearance of tombstones and urns, we abandon the concept of a cemetery - the city of the dead and reinterpret it as a cemetery - a landscape made of the dead. Remains in the form of fertile soil become material for modeling of the biodiverse terrain of the cultural landscape, a place that resonates with life.
