In my thesis project I wanted to learn about how architecture affects people and how we can design spaces that can make people feel less stressed. I started out by researching about environmental psychology and the senses and combined what I learned into a building that can help promote mental well being.  Stressed people have a harder time living in the present, with so much going on in their head, so a sensoric layer is incorporated, helping people become more present. Colours are used according to colour psychology, creating different moods in different spaces that affect the visitor.The building also provides several social meeting places, spaces where you can relax by yourself and focus inwards, and beautiful views that connect you to nature. My proposed building is a retreat in Sälen, A building that serves as a place for recreation, health and experience, where you are able to take a step back from your stressful life both mentally and physically. The retreat would also become a new destination to visit  all year round, helping with the tourism in Sälen in the summertime.

La presente tesis tuvo como objetivo principal investigar la viabilidad comercial de implementar un Spa exclusivamente para hombres en la ciudad de Chiclayo, debido a que diversos estudios indicaron que en la actualidad los índices de estrés, ya sea laboral o psicológico, son elevados y se requiere desarrollar modelos de negocio que permitan atenuarlos. Por ello, la presente investigación, basándose en una segmentación que abarca hombres de 25 a 59 años, de estilos de vida sofisticados y progresistas, realizó mediante encuestas, entrevistas y grupos focales, un estudio para verificar la viabilidad de ejecución del spa masculino, del cual se obtuvo resultados positivos con respecto al crecimiento de éste sector, demostrando la aceptación del proyecto como parte del cuidado masculino, de modo que éste pueda brindar un servicio innovador, exclusivo y necesario, que ayude a mejorar la calidad de vida y satisfacción de los clientes, a través de las preferencias, características y sugerencias recolectadas en el estudio y análisis del mercado Chiclayano, por lo que se concluyó del estudio que sí es viable la creación de un spa para hombres en dicha ciudad.

The area was from its inception a hub of not only the surrounding area but the entire region. Founding order of monks founded it in the mid-13th century, amid wild Žďárské Hills. The monastery is a significant push for the development of agriculture, education, and also brought the new technology. Its peak in the area enjoyed under the guidance of an enlightened abbot Vaclav Vejmluva, who advocated the architecturally unique. He invited architect Jan Blazej Santini Aichel to design complex remodeling and designing the pilgrimage church of St. John of Nepomuk on Green Mountain. It is this unique today is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its unique style of Baroque Gothic. The monastery was closed by decree of Emperor Joseph II. in 1784. Shortly after he was bought by the nobility. Despite these events complex kept its position as a cultural and educational center continues to serve lidem.1930 lock acquires ownership of the Kinsky family, but in 1948 there is a nationalization of assets transferred under the management and ownership of the state. This period brought a large decline of the entire complex, which after centuries of its unique position came. Today's attempt to correct these errors started after returning the property to its original owners, the Kinsky family. Current owner Konstantin Kinský trying to build on the tradition and education. Very convenient position at the junction large cities of Prague and Brno, architectural and historic qualities combined with the beauty and diversity of the surrounding nature helps lock to become a major tourist center. The aim is to underline this position a lucrative background and offering his own castle, while keeping genius loci and underline its importance. Given the set goal and the architecture of the campus, I divided the complex into three zones, which are variable deeper into the area treat. The first zone is public, it consists of museums, galleries and meeting facilities, it is the noisiest and accessible first. Serve as regular visitors and tourists who are staying in the area. This zone is a kind of buffer, protecting the gradual calming. The second zone is a semi-public, already serves local school pupils and visitors to the spa and hotel guests. This zone also serves as an access and smoothing filter. The last zone is semi-private. Almost in its entirety it occupies park hotel, which dates back to the shore of the pond and is adjacent to the private gardens of Princess Tamara Kinski. This environment is free from all the noise and undesirable elements associated with heavy traffic roads and features associated with the first zones. They serve as a refuge. All zones are connected barrier-covered footbridge, which starts at and ends up on the edge of the complex ecology museum. This bridge will merge as a kind of mediator and connections between functions and increases the comfort offered. The bridge is fully enclosed and provides a safe journey and a refuge from the often raw local weather. The entire complex is designed as a universally embracing space. The area serves primarily for the pleasure of the mind and soul and allow himself to penetrate wildness and diversity Zdarske nature. Scale remains a very human and avoids congestion visitor. They serve as a refuge in the wildness of the landscape and the environment as a place of education, culture and history.

Create new ones so the old can live dignified and survive new ones.

The subject of the thesis is a transformation of the anti-nuclear shelter situated in the city center, which no longer fulfils its original function. The main goal of the project is to integrate the shelter to surrounding public spaces. The proposal uses the potential of the suitable location on the edge of the historical center of Brno by inclusion of public facilities with cultural functions that are able to use the uniqueness of the underground space. The aim of the study is to point out this unused building, initiate discussion. My quest is to bring new impulse to the city, to enhance the site with a new feature, make a pleasant urban space to residents of the city and also bring life to the place.

Design of the spa complex in the town of Yverdon. In the city, which lies on the shore of Neuchatel Lake. However, our plot is located off the coast. Place the design looks like taken out of context the development of the city. Spa react to immediate surroundings and situation within the parcel that is. This is the regular structure of the volume of a rectangular shape with a shed roof. Objects are abstractly as discussed in industrial halls, which are in the form of individual features of the program are mounting

Peace in the shadow of the trees. A spring coming up from depths. The spa park is an island at the edge of the town. It is the highest value of its surroundings. That is why I place the volume of the spa on the side of the park along the road. There is a promenade connecting the constituent elements of the building. Full, heavy masses alternate with airy and bright ones. The park grows through the buildings, and in this way the spa and the park become closely intertwined. The interweaving of the built and the natural as the central theme of the project.

The design of my proposal was deeply influenced by the typical character of spa pavillions in urban recreational parks. Neveertheless i combine such a character with contemporary more conceptual way of architecture. With maybe bigger scale, but having reasons for that. Into the center of park i place a house of baths, where all the activities typical for paths take action - massages, rehabilitation, swimming and wellness. Other parts of the project such as two new proposed buildings for a hotel have the same character of a pavillion in a park. Their interdependant relationships creates new story in a city.

Spa building as a symbiotic organism of the park. Principle pouring mass between the trees comes from finding intimacy important for the spa, and the genius loci of the park. The dialogue and the interpenetration of interior and exterior, walking in the park and inside the building, the play of light and vistas are the subject of this work, which produces organic architecture, not as a mere form, but as a result of a thorough analysis of the Site. Park becomes part of the building, creating green bays, thanks to which all the rooms gain the same qualities. Architecture defined by the flow of air and light, scent of spa water. Visitation of the spa as an irreducible complex of impressions that stimulate our senses.
