Architecture

The Extension of the gymnasium is an architectural intervention into the existing school complex, which is located in the former Capuchin monastery in T?ebí?- Jejkov. The new building replaced the one-storey temporary building from the totalitarian era.

On the south side, the extension follows the direction of neighbouring monastery buildings; on the north side, it creates an inner courtyard for relaxation of students in a connection to the outdoor classroom.Two-part layout scheme opens on ground floor through a glazed recess hall into the courtyard, on the first floor the corridor is oriented to the opened terrace. Classrooms, laboratories and teacher’s offices are organized according to the specific requirements of the school.

Architecture is articulated as a basic follow-up archetypal shape, which integrates the basic proportion features of the historical buildings of the monastery, but at the same time it consistently works with contemporary expression means, setting the building into timeline. The time difference with regard to the historical part of the school is emphasized by the glazed gap with integrated transparent construction of the elevator.

Construction and technologies

Construction uses the combined system of load bearing walls made of ceramic blocks, reinforced concrete columns and ceilings.

The selection of the used materials is based on the conceptual two-dimensional proportion of proposal: they dispose the temporary character, and at the same time they integrate potential of dialogue with the place.
