Having in mind the specificity of the program in sense of the
village of Jegunovce, the starting point from which the idea of the
building is being generated is the connection and the availability
towards the outside, that is, its users. Thereby, the aspects of “the
public” in space have a primary role in defining and determining
the concept and the design of the building as a whole. In that
terms, the spaces transition starting from the idea that the public
space flows through the inside of the building, generating zones
of usage of the public space - an entry hall (foyer) and
multipurpose hall - as main spaces, and service contents like
ticket office, checkroom and toilets - as a kind of “pockets”
serving the main purpose.
The base of the building, referent to its program, is the
multipurpose hall. Having it in mind as a kind of a core of the
building, together with the village of Jegunovce in terms of its
social features, the hall is a space that can function in several,
different seating compositions adjustable to the needs of its users.
As a result, the same space can be intended for events of a
different character such as municipality meetings, dancing
rehearsals, workshops or cinema. In the same time, these
transformations don’t require complex logistics and can be
performed from its concrete users. Additional quality of the hall is
the possibility of transforming it in a summer scene by the opening
of mobile partition panels on the west side of the hall. Therefore,
the area of the foyer, as well as the pedestrian area just next to
the west facade (which contains harmonica doors) become an
open auditorium.
As addition of the public space at the ground level, a public roof
as a second level (reachable through a public staircase) also
appears. This level is intended for an administration office as well,
organized around a semi opened atrium.
