Conceptual Interventions into the Ferme Ornee Chateau Kacina near Kutna Hora

Abstract

The empire style chateau Kačina near Kutná Hora is being used as a museum of agriculture and thus is not a very attractive tourist destination. The manager of the estate approached the students of Architecture and engineering, from the civil engineering Faculty at VŠBTU in Ostrava, to create conceptual designs of intervention into the ornamental estate, or Ferme ornée which preserve the significant historical context of the premises. The paper presents the process of approaching a solution to the assignment and attaches relevant outputs.
