New Lounské Colonies
Young architects designed new colonies in Louny
Students from the Faculty of Architecture at the Brno University of Technology are presenting their visions of new forms of housing in the Loun pavilion of Josef Fousek Visitors can view eight projects at the exhibition, which showcase the possibilities of construction in the northwest suburb of Loun through architectural models, plans, and visualizations.
The students, under the guidance of architects Jan Hora and Adéla Šoborová, were tasked with designing solutions for the area of Mělecké suburb, which represents a typical disorderly urban periphery, where technical infrastructure meets commercial facilities and scattered residential development. The goal of the assignment was to design new residential complexes where it will be pleasant to live, new colonies, in which Louny has a long tradition.
As part of the academic assignment, students were not bound by real limitations and could think of the proposal as an ideal model of housing in the near future. The projects represent contemporary housing solutions in a small town. They seek to find an optimum between comfort, density of construction, sustainability, privacy, and shared spaces. The students focused not only on the appearance of the apartments themselves, but also on the environment and connections between individual houses. This resulted in structures that use the area efficiently. At the same time, they ensure privacy for the residents and provide shared spaces in the form of meadows, playgrounds, or greenhouses. The projects show how housing could look not only for families with children, offering desired private gardens, but also address the issues associated with typical satellite construction.
„The Mělnické suburb represents a key development area of Loun,“ pointed out Loun's mayor Mgr. At Bc. Milan Rychtařík during the opening of the exhibition. „Currently, two urban planning competitions are underway for the design of residential areas in the west of Loun,“ adds the city’s chief architect Ing. arch. Radek Janoušek, „we will soon know the results.“
A stop for a future high-speed line is planned in Louny, which will expedite the connection to the Prague metropolis. This accessibility could lead to an increase in residents commuting to work in Prague, who do not find living in a big city suitable.
The authors of the exhibited projects are: Adam Hajdák, Alžbeta Bumbálová, David Dubáň, Karolína Gavroňová, Kristýna Ordeltová, Michaela Kirnerová, Pavel Konopka, Veronika Pečeňová, Vilma Belanská, and Vojtěch Nejeschleba. The exhibition will be on display daily from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in the main hall of the Josef Fousek pavilion until September 19, 2023. The exhibition is organized by the city of Louny in cooperation with the Municipal Library of Louny and the Faculty of Architecture at VUT in Brno.
