1911年,在拆除了一栋带有商业底层空间的住宅楼后,为家具商人弗朗茨-克莱因(Franz Klein)建造的百货商店在原来狭窄而深邃的哥特式地块上建成。设计者是建筑师克里斯托夫-格拉泽,他的灵感来自维也纳的Gerngross/Herzmansky百货公司。1911年,它是一座结构上、操作上和空间上都很先进的建筑,是奥洛穆茨和整个奥匈帝国最早实施的整体钢筋混凝土框架之一。

The department store for the furniture tradesman Franz Klein was built on the original narrow and deep Gothic plot in 1911, after the demolition of a residential building with a commercial ground floor space. The design author was architect Christoph Glaser, who was inspired by the Gerngross/Herzmansky department store in Vienna. In 1911, it was a structurally, operationally, and spatially progressive building, one of the first implementations of a monolithic reinforced concrete frame in Olomouc and the whole of Austria-Hungary.

经过战争的破坏,原有的全玻璃的新艺术派外墙在1946年按照晚期功能主义的精神进行了净化,并根据建筑师Jaroslav Česal的设计提供了陶瓷覆层。与这些变化形成鲜明对比的是,中庭的雕塑般的 “神圣 “中央空间以及销售廊和屋顶照明被保留了下来。在共产党执政期间和20世纪90年代,这所房子发挥了它原来的作用。然而,出于保温的原因,矿棉被铺设在三楼的玻璃水平钢结构上–从而拒绝了上部的自然采光。

After war damage, the original all-glass Art Nouveau facade was purified in the spirit of late functionalism in 1946 and provided with ceramic cladding according to the design of architect Jaroslav Česal. In contrast to these changes, the sculptural “sacral” central space of the atrium with sales galleries and roof lighting was preserved. During the communist regime and the 1990s, the house served its original purpose. However, for thermal insulation reasons, mineral wool was laid on the glazing horizontal steel structure on the third floor – thereby denying upper natural lighting.

该建筑必须适应捷克广播电台的新运作,也必须适应当前的静态、消防、热技术和卫生标准。在设计过程中,我们努力保护房屋的可见支撑结构,不破坏中央空间的完整性和雕塑感。

The building had to be adapted to the new operation of the Czech Radio and also to current static, fire, thermal-technical, and sanitary standards. During the design process, we tried hard to preserve the visible supporting structure of the house and not destroy the integrity and sculptural quality of the central space.

所有的装置都有明显的引导,是协调的,并与原来的支撑结构形成艺术性的技术对话,而不压制它。技术是严格意义上的单色空间中的一个多彩的层次。画廊的空间已被玻璃墙最大限度地分割,以便它继续自由流动并与中庭的中央空间互动。

All installations are guided visibly, are co-ordinated, and form an artistic technological dialogue with the original supporting structure without suppressing it. Technologies are a colorful layer in a strictly monochrome space. The space of the galleries has been divided to the maximum extent possible by glass walls so that it continues to flow freely and interact with the central space of the atrium.

广播室、控制室和自助演播室的形状和比例来自于在现有骨架结构中建造的可能性。演播室的设计和材料都服从于空间声学的需要,白色在整个建筑中占主导地位,有一条蓝色的夜空带–无线电波通过它传播。

The shape and proportions of the broadcast studios, control room, and self-service studios arose from the possibility of building into the existing skeleton structure. The design and materiality of the studios are subordinated to the needs of spatial acoustics, white color prevails as in the entire building, with a band of the blue night sky – aether through which radio waves spread.

一开始,我们曾考虑拆除中庭后面的建筑部分,并在底层建造一个五角形方向的新的录音厅;然后在楼层上,以理想的比例和形状放置工作室和控制室,以达到空间声学的目的,其结构能理想地解决建筑声学问题。然而,由于财政原因,这个方案被放弃了。

In the beginning, we worked with the option of removing the rear part of the building behind the atrium and building a new part for the recording hall with a pentagonal direction on the ground floor; on the floors then, to place studios with control rooms in ideal proportions and shapes for spatial acoustics, with constructions that ideally solve building acoustics. However, this option was abandoned for financial reasons.

在建筑技术调查、设计工作和实际实施过程中,我们发现我们的祖先的技术、审美和工艺是如此之高,这很令人着迷。一百多年前,他们的行动是多么的自由,摆脱了今天的许多规定。

In the course of construction-technical surveys, design work, and during the actual implementation, it was fascinating to discover how high the technical, aesthetic, and craftsmanship of our ancestors were. And how freer their actions were more than a hundred years ago, freed from the many regulations of today.

随着捷克广播电台购买了前百货公司的建筑并对其进行改造,该建筑获得了新的有尊严的功能,并有机会获得第二次生命。在奥洛穆茨的历史核心区,一个能量即将消失的 “空地 “已经被一个新的象征性对象所取代。

With the purchase of the building of the former department store by Czech Radio and its conversion, the building gained a new dignified function and a chance for a second life. An “empty place” with dying energy in the historical core of Olomouc has been replaced by a new symbolic object.
