Pavilion of the Catholic Gymnasium in Třebíč
Architecture
The extension of the gymnasium is an architectural entry into the existing school complex, located in the buildings of the former Capuchin monastery in Třebíč-Jejkov. The new building replaced a single-story provisional wing of the former workshops from the totality period. On the southern side, the extension follows the direction of the buildings in the quadrature, while on the northern side it creates an inner courtyard for the relaxation and leisure of students, connected to an outdoor classroom. The two-wing layout opens a glazed respirium to the courtyard on the first floor, and on the second floor, the hallway opens to an open terrace. Classrooms, laboratories, and offices are arranged according to the specific needs of the school. The architecture is articulated as a simple, continuous archetypal shape that integrates the basic proportional properties of the historical buildings of the monastery, while simultaneously working thoroughly with contemporary expressive means that define the building in a temporal context.
The time shift relative to the historical part of the school is emphasized by a glazed gap with a transparent lift structure inserted.
Construction and Technology
The structure utilizes a combined system of load-bearing walls made from ceramic blocks, reinforced concrete columns, and ceilings. The selection of materials used is subordinated to the conceptual two-dimensionality of the design: they possess a contemporary character while also containing the potential for dialogue with the site. Light lime plaster is used for the building's exterior, cembrit tiles on the roof, washed terrazzo on the base, aluminum windows, and gray-painted steel for the metal elements. The stone walls, leveling the terrain differences, are made from stacked Rosice gneiss. In the interiors, light ground terrazzo is used in the hallways, and oak parquet is used in the classrooms and offices. The doors, views into the classrooms, and built-in furniture are made of maple wood.
