In my diploma thesis I would like to focus on dance battles events and on the street dance life style as it's the topic of my diploma thesis. I have been very close of the street dance world, as a dancer and an observer, since I witnessed countless dance battles, concerts, camps, workshops and so on - which gave me the knowledge to express myself on this topic and gave my perspective in both ways: from up to the stage and audience. I was always very curios and wanted to share with, such as: how does the street dance events looks like, what's happening there, what kind people attending it, what is the motivation for dancers, djs, choreographers, producers etc…? Where those events are happening and how often is them happening? My curiosity crossed the Czech Republic border, I wanted to know more from outside of my country. I believe that having the knowledge of what's going on abroad gives you power of discuss and compare things with confidence and comfortability. Mainly my research methods were observing and interviewing, then field diaries, video documentation, collecting as much information as possible from people that lives in this world nonstop, which gave me so much knowledge from inside, how they behave, how they communicate, their attitude etc. This scenario always fascinated me and after attending to many events, battles, meetings and jam sessions (as a dancer and observer), I was able to collect different point of views from another dancers, choreographers and guests and compare it with my own thoughts regarding to it, using my countless notes and hours of recording interviews, those tools combined gave me so much information.

The aim of this creative project is the search for an alternative path of spatial understanding and the implementation of an complementary way that seeks to communicate new spatial ideas in the real of architecture.By introducing the hypothesis of a consolidated unit that consists of the triptych space, movement and the perceiving human being, one is necessary to create a media that can potentially help the expression of multidimensional structures.For this purpose dance is introduced in the field of architecture. Choreography and movement notation are structured and interpreted in order to inform the field of architecture on a theoretical as well as on a practical level.By analyzing components of dance, useful elements that can help to "render" architectural ideas can be identified.The second part of this thesis project, provides a way of how to implement the unit space, movement and the perceiving human being, into the field of architecture. A synthesis of elements existing both in the field of architecture and dance, constitute the base for an architectonic artefact. The introduction of an artefact as such, "moves" beyond the expected understanding of architectural space, commonly portrayed as something static and absolute, while it offers new possibilities to spatial perception. / Department of Architecture
