Experimental objects in Lelekovice allow you to detach yourself from the surrounding world
Fourteen students from the studio of Barbora Ponešová, Kristýna Smržová and Marek Štěpán from the Faculty of Architecture BUT investigated the possibilities of wood as a building material. In the process, dozens of designs were created, three of which were selected - Woman, Man and Nest - were realized in the village of Lelekovice. Experimental buildings built by the hands of young architects are accessible to the public throughout the year.
Wood, in Latin lignum, is one of the basic building materials from out of memory. Its use is still evolving and changing. As part of the studio teaching, the students were tasked with experimenting with this natural material and designing objects for a picturesque location in the Moravian village of Lelekovice.
28 proposals were created during the semester. Towards the end, a team of students with pedagogues and the mayor of Lelekovic selected the best ones and, as part of a workshop called 3m3 lignum 1:1, built a trio of buildings with their own efforts, which will be used for the accommodation of locals and tourists in the Poňava and Paseky za tačná parts. The towers called Man and Woman remind this pair of symbols not only visually, but the opposite can also be found in the principle of operation of the timber and shingle structure itself. The trio is rounded off by a Nest woven from wicker and grounded stones.
The nest represents a place where a person can stop not only in time, but also in himself. A short distance from the pilgrimage route, in Paseky, a seating area has grown up that allows a person to be with himself. The whole concept is based on the idea of ??opening upwards and on the definition of personal space. "A person should feel protected from the outside world in the Nest," says author Lucie about the project. The project returns to the original work with wood, when "trunks, branches and sticks" are joined together and the structure works as a whole. Three acacia legs carry the woven wicker nest up to a height of 1.5m, which allows a person to be a little above the ground. In the upper part, which opens towards the heavens, you can observe the clouds or the stars or look into the interior of your soul, stop and discover your inner world to the sounds of the surrounding quiet landscape.
The design and build teaching method, in which students not only design objects, but also build them themselves, has been used for several years by the pair of architects Barbora Ponešová and Kristýna Smržová. This time they teamed up with the architect Marko Štěpán. This resulted in real buildings in the public space, which have a real effect on the residents of the village, observers and passers-by. This year's cooperation with the municipality of Lelekovice will continue. "One of the unrealized proposals seems suitable for the Lelekovice community, so we want to build it in cooperation with the authors next year," notes the mayor of Lelekovice, Aleš Mikauš. "Cooperation with local communities is a long-term intention of our faculty, this workshop is a good example of that," adds Radek Suchánek, FA BUT dean.
