TCU

The subject of the competition was the construction of the Transformation Centre of the Ústí nad Labem Region (TCÚK) on the premises of the former secondary school on Stará Street in Ústí nad Labem. The intention is to preserve and use the pavilion building of the former school as much as possible and to adapt it to the requirements of the TCÚK headquarters with a suitable extension.
The construction of the TCÚK is a strategic project of the Ústí Region within the framework of the Fair Territorial Transformation Plan. It is a new pole of the city development with excellent transport accessibility and proximity to the Jan Evangelista Purkyně University. From an urban planning point of view, a solution is sought that would take advantage of modern and sustainable urban values and thus provide a model example of positive transformation and revitalization of an urban brownfield.
The new TCUK headquarters should serve as a showcase building and a new standard for public and commercial development. The redevelopment and extension of the building should follow the principles of sustainable construction, resulting in a smart and (actively) low-energy building using and incorporating state-of-the-art technologies and comprehensive blue-green infrastructure.
