Task

Come up with an architectural strategy to find developing possibilities of the chosen building (iconic ruin).

Iconic ruin with a set generic function of a housing.

​

Description

Topic of the bachelor thesis is focused on iconic ruins as buildings, which lost their specific programmatic function. The aim is to inhabit iconic ruin with a generic function of housing with ambition to elaborate its qualities and architectural processes. Iconic ruin that is addressed in the thesis is Nová Tržnica in Bratislava. It brings a new typology of a marketplace as a hybrid form of various types of markets – exterior urban streets, roofed halls and vertically extended. Defined qualities are prefabricated rod construction, which creates a set of shelves to be occupied. Envelope, which generates city in a city and various spatial and qualitative volumes. Consequent interpretation of these attributes sets up generation of new framework structure, that would encompass all of the defined iconic elements. Urban fabric, which is also a structural construction, a shelve, envelope and crisscross

of streets, walkways and openings for the sun. New volumetric envelope is a rack for further individual occupying with a function of requirement. It is a modular yet adaptive construction answer of 21st. century, which promotes idea of an urban structure as a city in a city. Form and realisation of bachelor thesis introduces possible approach to iconic ruins, their preservation and developing.
