Renewal-Zone：荒废露天影院to公共文化综合体︱积极的更新之力
通过彻底更新，原本破旧的露天电影院（可容纳 800 个座位）被改造成一个350 个座位，功能齐全、可持续运营的综合体。场地面积的压缩为住宅楼和电影院场地之间预留了应急缓冲区和隔音设施空间，并通过 Štěpánka公园在周围的住宅区和附近的市中心之间建立了新的连接。
考虑到整体状况和改造的难度，旧电影院的建筑结构和遮蔽公园的投影墙均被拆除。三座新建筑涵盖了所有的必要设施：收银台、自助餐厅、卫生设施、放映室、一个较小的投影墙（其中有一些供艺术家使用的房间）和储藏室。电影院向所有人开放。过去朝向住宅街道的“断裂”围栏被保留。新建的石笼墙上应用了其断裂图案，将场地与北侧住宅楼隔开。场地的自然地形也被保留，使得电影院在地势上自然地向投影墙过渡。
这些物体的选择源于它们的季节性用途及电影的灵感和构想。胶片卷轴系统在放映机中带动胶片，设计以单体的形式予以呈现，模拟胶卷转动以轮子控制屋顶绳索。屋顶的防水布、精巧的钢结构和波纹钢板营造出一种光的错觉，仿佛夏季临时使用的物体。
波纹板是对电影影像的另一种致敬，由各个场域的节奏、光影交替而成。黑钢的使用在视觉上将电影院与稍早更新的普拉哈季采城市剧院连接起来。
石头是另一种被大量采用的材料。花岗岩铺路、较大的石块和石笼墙与广泛使用石材的城镇中心相呼应。地面及与公共区域相接的区域使用了坚硬的石质地面，电影院内部则使用了“更柔和”更天然的切割石块。
舞台和部分礼堂的织物屋顶提升了表演者和观众的舒适度，无畏天气的挑战，并对电影院的声学表现有所裨益。观众席的大部分区域保留了露天的特色。建筑物之间铺以防水布的屋顶方案最大限度地减轻了建筑的重量。鉴于结构的高度变化，更多支撑元件被添加进行辅助。绳索的钢支撑不仅是功能和技术元素，同时具备美学价值。
尽管露天电影院（Mimosa Architects设计）和Štěpánka公园项目由不同的建筑师非同步进行，但都在2023年上半年落成，为普拉哈季采的城镇广场呈现了非常精致的公共空间。该空间不仅用于电影放映，还可以举办更多与城镇中心直接相关的文化活动。
Mimosa建筑师事务所致力于为客户或区域设计量身定制的独特建筑空间，擅于构想并对最终细节进行严谨的考量，这是令设计团队热衷的阶段。Mimosa了解人们共同生活的空间，对业主的期待以及在建设中投入的资源具有强烈的责任感，从不吝啬为创意实践付出努力。
Misosa以工作室形式成立于2007年，并于2010年转型为设计事务所公司，其创始成员包括Petr Moráček、Jana Zoubková和Pavel Matyska。他们与众多设计师团队合作，在捷克及国际上开展建筑和室内设计，实现了各种类型的建筑，其中包括新建和改造作品以及不同预算和规模的公共建筑。
在Trautenberk、Hostivar H1、H2和Osegg啤酒厂、Javornice酿酒厂及其他公共和私人建筑的设计和建造中，Jana Zoubková发挥了不可替代的重要作用。Javornice 酿酒厂荣获了2017年捷克建筑竞赛的认可（大奖赛和捷克建筑奖）。Trautenberk啤酒厂在2018年捷克建筑奖竞赛中获得了荣誉。
此外，事务所的作品在捷克国内外各类建筑竞赛中均获得佳绩。
Through a complete reconstruction, the dilapidated former open-air cinema with a huge capacity of 800 seats, was transformed into a functioning complex with a more sustainable capacity of 350. The shrinking of the grounds also allowed the creation of much-needed buffer areas between residential buildings and the cinema grounds, with the implementation of acoustic measures, and lastly the creation of a new connection between the surrounding residential complex and the nearby town centre via Štěpánka's Park.
The old cinema´s buildings were, given the difficulty in their adaptation and the overall state, demolished, as was the original projection wall that was shading the park. Three new buildings contain all the necessary facilities – cash desk, buffet, hygienic facilities, the projection booth, a smaller projection wall with some rooms for the artists, and storage. The cinema is accessible to all in its entirety. The original "fractured" fencing toward the residential street was preserved. The fractured motif was also applied to newly built gabion walls, which separate the grounds from the residential buildings to the north. The area's natural terrain modulation was also preserved, used to naturally slope the cinema towards the projection wall.
The principles of the objects are given by their seasonal use, film inspirations, and associations. The system of film reels leading the film in a projector, the design transforms into the forms of individual objects, where in place of a film strip, the wheels control the ropes of the roof. The tarp of the roof, a subtle steel construction, and a sheet of corrugated steel create an illusion of light, seemingly provisional "summer" objects.
The corrugated sheets are another nod to a movie illusion, created by the rhythm of individual fields, alternating light and shadow. The use of black steel visually connects the cinema to an earlier renovated Municipal Theatre of Prachatice.
Another substantially used material is stone. Granite paving, larger stone pieces, and gabion walls connect to the stones used in the town's centre. Where the grounds meet general public areas, a rigid stone paving was used, whereas, inside the cinema grounds, a "softer" more natural cut stone was used.
The textile roofing of the stage and a part of the auditorium increases the comfort of the performers and audience, whether it would be on a sunny afternoon or a rainy night, and positively impacts the acoustic properties of the cinema. Sky overhead the visitors is preserved for the majority of the auditorium. The objective of the chosen solution for roofing was maximum lightness of the construction with the idea being only of a tarp stretched between the buildings. Given the high degree of freedom of the construction, further supporting elements were added. Steel supports of the ropes are not only functional and technical elements, but also aesthetic ones.
Even though the projects of the Open-Air Cinema (Mimosa Architects) and Štěpánka's Park were separated both in time and between studios, their finalisation happened at the same time, in the first half of 2023. Prachatice thus obtained a very cultivated public space near the town square, with an area not only for film screenings but also for more cultural events in the town with a direct connection to its centre.
We are Mimosa architekti.
We design houses and areas outside of the ordinary, but always for you and for a given place. We can dream it up and think it over to their last details. It entertains us. We are aware of our responsibility for our common space of life, for your expectations, and resources invested in the construction, and we do not regret our efforts to verify our ideas.
Atelier Mimosa architekti was founded in 2007, in 2010 it converted into a company. Its founding members were Petr Moráček, Jana Zoubková, and Pavel Matyska. They cooperate with numerous teams of designers with realised buildings of various typologies including new constructions and reconstructions with investment budgets ranging from the lowest, up to large-scale public buildings. We design and build houses and interiors over the entire Czech Republic as well as abroad.
Jana Zoubková was irreplaceable both in the design and construction of Trautenberk, Hostivar H1, H2, and Osegg breweries, Javornice distillery, and other public and private constructions. The Javornice Distillery was evaluated in both Czech architectonic contests in 2017 (Grand Prix and The Czech Price for Architecture). The Trautenberk brewery was appraised in the contest of The Czech Price for Architecture in 2018.
Moreover, the works of the atelier have succeeded in various domestic and foreign architectonic contests.
