Architekt při jeho výzdobě spolupracoval s brutalistním sochařem Václavem Urubou, který je autorem betonové skulptury „Směrník“ před budovou. Spolu s nádražím v Ostravě-Vítkovicích a hlavním nádražím v Ostravě se jedná o unikátní budovu bruselského stylu vycházející ze světové výstavy „Expo 1958“ v Bruselu.The railway station in Havirov was built in 1964-1969, designed by academic architect Josef Hrejsemnou. In terms of decoration, the architect cooperated with Vaclav Uruba, a brutalist sculptor who is the author of the concrete sculptures in front. Along with the railway station in Ostrava-Vitkovice and the main station in Ostrava, we can speak about a unique building of Brussels style, which is based on the Brussels World Expo 1958. The theme of the transport terminal in Havirov has been mentioned several times over the decades. The first time was before the construction of...

Je to dáno především jeho ideální polohou na jižních svazích kolem přírodní strže a nadčasovým urbanistickým řešením. Sídliště ve své době představovalo také nejdokonalejší realizaci proudového způsobu stavění u nás. Vznikl tím celek, který ještě před nastěhováním prvních obyvatel byl plně funkční a zcela dokončený. Kultivovaný výraz architektury sídliště byl však v poslední době výrazně zasažen nevhodnou revitalizací. Změna vlastnických struktur po listopadových událostech v roce 1989 otevřela také cestu dravosti developerských společností stavět nové bytové domy. Tomu se však původní obyvatelé brání a usilují o památkovou ochranu celého sídliště.Brno Lesna is ranked among the most highly regarded housing estates in Czechoslovakia ever since it was built in the 1960s. Mainly due to its ideal location at southern slopes around natural ravine and timeless urban design. T...

Exemplary housing estate in Ostrava-Poruba, Brno- Lesna and Bratislava Devinska Nova Ves represent residential complexes built by the 60th to 80 years of 20th century in Czechoslovakia. Students were asked to engage the original project in comparison with realized project, analyze the current situation and deal with potential future development

In March 2020 the Antarctic fjord Charlotte Bay included >5× as many humpback whales as neighboring Wilhelmina Bay, a site previously known for super aggregations of whales and their prey, Antarctic krill. We used suction-cup attached bio-logging tags and active acoustic prey mapping to test the hypothesis that whale abundance in Charlotte Bay would be associated with higher prey biomass density, and that whale foraging effort would be concentrated in regions of Charlotte Bay with the highest biomass. Here we show, however, that patch size and krill length at the depth of foraging were more likely predictors of foraging effort than biomass. Tagged whales spent >80% of the night foraging, and whales in both bays demonstrated similar nighttime feeding rates (48.1 ± 4.0 vs. 50.8 ± 16.4 lunges/h). However, whales in Charlotte Bay foraged for 58% of their daylight hours, compared to 22% in Wilhelmina Bay, utilizing deep (280-450 m) foraging dives in addition to surface feeding strategies like bubble-netting. Selective foraging on larger krill by humpback whales has not been previously established, but suggests that whales may be sensitive to differences in individual prey quality. The utilization of disparate foraging strategies in different parts of the water column allows humpback whales to target the most desirable parts of their foraging environments.

It was built on the southern slopes north of Brno in 1962–1970 according to a project by a team of architects Frantisek Zounek, Viktor Rudis, Miroslav Dufek and Ladislav Volak. Although it was a standard housing construction made of prefabricated components, the architects did not want to hide its technical expression. They also fully copied it into the very urban arrangement of long blocks, which contributed to the fulfillment of the vision of the garden city. Close cooperation between the supplier, investor and designer was ensured already in the phase of elaboration of the project task. The architecture of residential buildings is based on the diligent efforts of the whole team to promote the use of a lightweight facade of a prefabricated house using parapet panels and strip glazing in the B 60 construction system. The unusually high-quality solution of th...
