CHYBIK + KRISTOF ARCHITECTS

🫧 Bringing a new life into the Perla textile factory New visualizations and a detailed physical model of the future of an industrial site were the main attractions of our one-off exhibition in Ústí nad Orlicí, Czech Republic. Our event took place in the technical core of the former Perla textile factory, which closed in 2009 and is now awaiting transformation into a contemporary art gallery and a new community hub for the town. ⚡ It was a moving experience for our team, and especially for Ondrej Chybik and the town's mayor, Petr Hájek, to hear how much residents, many of whom worked in the former factory for more than twenty years, care about the future of their industrial heritage. Their feedback and support continue to inspire and shape our approach. 🖥️ If you want to see the multimedia presentation in person, the exhibition is now on display at the historic Hernych's Villa until Sunday 21 July 2024. 📸 Pavel Barták #art #gallery #adaptivereuse #heritage #craftingcharacter

There is always a good reason to talk about the Lahofer Winery and the magical landscape of the #SouthMoravia 🤍

🏗️ This visit brought back some fond memories for us. Alongside the Lendlease team, we had the privilege of visiting the construction site of the truly fascinating MIND Milano Innovation District. It felt like the past and the future were coming together. In 2014, we began constructing our vision for the Czech Pavilion at #EXPO 2015 on this very site. Now, ten years later, the site belongs to a hospital, and our former pavilion - a #modular structure - is still in use as office space in the Czech Republic. The future for the world of innovative #architecture and #urbanplanning is bright!

🏘️ Watch a great video from Anders Danielsson, President and CEO of Skanska Group, who recently visited our #underconstruction project at the Modrany Sugar Factory in #Prague. This project consists of 800 units delivered for Skanska Residential. 👷 The video features insightful interviews summarising the entire process from the initial #brownfield acquisition, through #publicparticipation, to the construction phase. It highlights many innovative solutions, including the use of recycled concrete, #greywater, and energy management, as well as a strong focus on public spaces and community values. Let us know if you would like to know more! 🚲

🏛 What is the real power of adaptive reuse & placemaking? We explored how 20th-century architecture is being rescued for the future during our panel discussion at the London Festival of Architecture 2024. The talk was chaired by Will Hurst from Architects’ Journal and the main speakers – alongside Ondrej Chybik from our studio – were Catherine Croft from the Twentieth Century Society and Sam Cotton from Battersea Power Station. It was a great opportunity for us to present our creative transformation in the case of #ZvonarkaBusStation, #GalleryOfFurniture, or the #BroadwayAdaptiveReuse proposal in New York. You can see each of these pieces in full detail right now 🚌 https://lnkd.in/e6ktxCNC    Thanks to the team of #LFA24, the organizers Czech Centre London, and also to the Embassy of Slovakia | London for the unique opportunity to hold the event in their amazingly renovated building, which itself is a strong part of the brutalist heritage of the Czechoslovakian past.

🏢 A View from Urban Regeneration The #ULIEuropeConference is always a great opportunity not only to meet the entire industry—from investors and developers to architects and public officials—but also to immerse yourself in so many fascinating environments. This year in beautiful Milan COIMA showed us the future of a great urban regeneration project, #ScalodiPortaRomana. This is a truly unique situation where the #OlympicVillage for the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics will be given back to the community by being transformed into the largest student residence in Italy. And this is only the beginning. The Urban Regeneration Tour continued with Hines Italy who showed us their ongoing restoration and renovation of the iconic #TorreVelasca, a monumental skyscraper built in the 1950s, or #CorsoItalia23 by PIMCO Prime Real Estate, another fascinating adaptive reuse of the architectural complex in Milan originally designed in 1958. This is exactly what we always prefer—a constant dialogue between old and new, between history and the future. No destruction, just rethink and reuse. 👷 Finally, we were part of the ULI Forum: Social Value in Residential where Ondrej Svancara and Pavel Hruza shared the studio's insights and ideas about fair and inclusive housing in the future. See you next time at the #ULI. #urbanlandinstitute #housing #residential #urbanregeneration 🛤️

CHYBIK + KRISTOF + LFA = RESCUE MISSION 🤍 We're proud to announce that as part of the London Festival of Architecture 2024, we are organizing a panel discussion in cooperation with the Czech Centre London and the Embassy of Slovakia | London. The name of the event is long but, believe us, an important one: 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐀𝐠𝐞. Entry is free, register now ➤ https://lnkd.in/ev_SN5PM ▪️ Our panel of experts will discuss how to take demolition off the table for good and breathe new life into forgotten buildings across the UK and Europe. Key speakers in our conversation about the future of architectural heritage will be Catherine Croft, Director of the Twentieth Century Society, Ondrej Chybik, co-founder of CHYBIK+KRISTOF, Petra Marko, placemaking expert, and the Chief Executive at the Metropolitný inštitút Bratislavy, and Sam Cotton, Head of Asset Management, Battersea Power Station. The event will be chaired by Will Hurst, Managing Editor of Architects’ Journal. Together we'll explore the power of adaptive reuse and placemaking, and showcase the best examples of how we can embrace a building's character and transform it for the modern age. And we mean that literally because the event itself will take place in a superb brutalist building of the former Embassy of Czechoslovakia, built in the 1960s by architects Bočan, Šrámek & Štěpánský. At the time, they received a prize from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for the best building in the United Kingdom designed by foreign architects ▪️ Photos © Alex Shoots Buildings (Zvonařka Central Bus Terminal) © Embassy of the Slovak Republic in London #Reimagine #LFA2024 #LFAat20 #reuse #brutalist #architecture

Play is serious business. Starting with Children 🤸♀️ means designing learning landscapes 🌍🧸📚 This week, we attended the #StartWithChildren #BratislavaSummit2024; what a line up! Playground audits, city forests and nature play, placemaking and playscapes, we’re here for it all. We’re listening and we’re learning, honing our skills for designing and delivering better cities for our youngest, because cities that work for kids, work for everyone. At CH+K, we believe that in #education, the design of learning environments is as crucial as the content taught within them. Our latest research explores 'learning landscapes,' merging innovative #architecture with progressive #pedagogy to foster engagement, creativity, and holistic development. As we move towards student-centered, experiential learning, physical spaces must adapt. Learning landscapes are flexible, interactive, and inspiring, supporting diverse learning styles and needs. Our vision integrates natural elements, advanced technologies, and adaptable clustered configurations to create immersive, interconnected environments that nurture curiosity and social interaction through our projects like Stará Boleslav Primary School and the Mulbekh Campus in India. Learn more about these projects here: https://lnkd.in/e3YCQbgh 📣 We invite you all; architects, educators, students, and communities, to collaborate with us in reimagining education, learning through play, in and beyond the classroom. Thanks goes to our friendly neighbours Petra Marko Simon Battisti #Education #Innovation #Architecture #LearningLandscapes #FutureOfEducation #BratislavaSummit2024  #StartWithChildren

A new era of Czech hockey! 🏆 🇨🇿 As the Czech national team took home the #gold at last night's tense International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championship game in Prague, we thought about all of the #future hockey players who will look back to this moment in our history, inspired and ready to train that extra bit harder out on the ice at our Jihlava Arena 🏟 When we were designing the urban #JihlavaArena hockey stadium, we made sure the architecture would nurture the traditions that bond generations of fans together in a display of communal spirit, collective accomplishment, and perseverance. We needed #iconic design with #character. Now under construction, maybe the next gold will soon be found in Jihlava?!
