LITOMĚŘICE - UNDERGROUND FACTORY RICHARD
Architecture and Urbanism, MA diploma project
Annotation
The former underground manufacturing site has been transformed into a place of worship, utilizing the potential of the surrounding environment. It pays attention to the turbulent history and attempts to build a respectable monument rather than a tourist attraction with the intention of evoking feelings of respect and humility in the visitor toward this location and its past. The idea mediates and modifies the knowledge experience, respects the existing structures and the surrounding area, and invites visitors to stop by and reflect. For this, he makes use of some already-existing structures and suggests constructing a brand-new museum that would bring local history and historical context even closer together. The visitor can decide how much history will resonate with the visitor and whether he wants to learn about it by facts, feelings, or by wandering along trails in the landscape.
