Number of submitted designs: 36
Overall jury evaluation
The jury appreciated the high level of the submitted designs. From the 36 submissions, they unanimously selected 9 works for the finals, which successfully addressed both groups of evaluation criteria relating to the location in Nitra and the modular construction of the organizer. Generally, the jury criticized the lack of consideration for broader relationships in the surroundings and unclear ties. An interesting outcome is that projects with a smaller number of apartments were rated better (the number of apartments in the finalist works ranged from 55 to 103 apartments).
Prizes:
1st prize (30,000 CZK): Tomáš Henkel, Ondřej Fiala (CTU Prague FA)
Jury assessment: The jury unanimously agreed on the winner (90% of possible points). The author demonstrated that the modular system can be elevated to a high standard of living, appropriately for the task of starter apartments. The greatest contribution is the quality living space of the complex. Architectural aspects were prioritized over technical and economic considerations, which demonstrated the use of modules for housing, as well as for garages and services.
2nd prize (15,000 CZK): Vojtěch Hajný, Pavel Rak (CTU Prague, FAST/ Ecole d´Architecture, Marna la Vallée, France)
Jury assessment: The author resolved and came closest to the task of starter apartments. With consideration of broader relationships, he successfully organized the arrangement of individual houses, greenery, and parking in the "semi-basement". The technical solution idealizes the module as a solid box.
3rd prize (5,000 CZK): Jan Hora, Jan Veisser (TU Liberec, Faculty of Art and Architecture)
Jury assessment: The author explored the possibilities of a dense, compact, autonomous structure on the plot. He achieved a formally rich space with a small number of elements and simple technical solutions. There were concerns regarding probable collisions with standards (e.g., sunlight on buildings, fire safety).
3rd prize (5,000 CZK): Bc. Peter Šercel, Br. Andrej Švec, Br. Martin Tisovský (STU Bratislava FA)
Jury assessment: The author proposed a simple urban layout – elevating public space and garden along the diagonal communication, in which solo buildings of gallery houses float. The expression corresponding to contemporary apartment buildings is positively rated.
3rd prize (5,000 CZK): Michal Šmihula (VUT Brno FA)
Jury assessment: The author created a compact set of small masses, partially enclosing a permeable intimate space. A very attractive appearance is achieved by schematic representation. The relaxed ground floor and kinetic façade of sunshades as an attractive element of modular construction are positively rated. High-quality layouts are made possible by the maximum dimensions of the modules.
