The diploma project deals with the design of an extensive spa complex on Štvanica island. This project is the result of a three-year research into the relationship between dynamic phenomena and architecture. In this project, I expand the issue of dynamic systems by simulating an artificial environment (weather).

Objective location data (elements) are algorithmically simulated as dynamic events. They mold into unique forms at a given location. This process is constantly controlled by the architect. The final structure is an artificial forest with a microclimatic character, absorbed by the island's natural flora. By raising the operations above ground level, I try to fulfill the concept of a rest area and meet the regulatory conditions of the given area.

The inner environment is a hermetically isolated world (paradise) in which various types of environments - weather, which helps to regenerate the soul and body - are accessible 24/7. (for sleep - darkness, for joy and satisfaction - sun, rain, fog, etc.)
Archetypal spas are based on an antique form, they are transformed into a prototypical form with the help of modern technologies. Their core remains unchanged. Polyfunctionality, isolation from the outside world, sociability.

The project tries to fulfill the architectural and urbanistic values of the environment. It includes the solution from archetype research, conclusions, urbanism, through the formation of matter, the process of creation, operational relations, the program according to archetypal spas to the solution of specific interiors, microclimatic events using structure and construction details. I tried to fulfill all of this in the spirit of the initial idea: "dynamic systems in architecture".
