TRANSFORMATION OF THE CURRENT SELECTED CEREMONIAL HALLS IN OSTRAVA - THEIR STATUS AND FUNCTIONS IN THE BODY OF THE VILLAGE IN THE MEANING OF PUBLIC SPACE AND THEIR AESTETIZATION

Original language description

&quot;Live today as if there is no tomorrow. Learn as if you can live forever.&quot; Although these words were pronounced by an Indian politician Mahatma Gandhi a couple of decades ago already, these ideas do not lose their intensity even today. Similarly, this knowledge has been heard in the Christian tradition for more than two thousand years to guide a man in his rather not-too-long life towards Hope. This basic theme was subsequently enshrined in the architectural room of Christian sacral buildings which also served as the mourning ceremonial halls. The influence of the ideas for building crematoria in the 19th century, as an argument of progress and hygiene caused massive construction of such premises hand in hand with mourning ceremonial halls after 1918 in the context with the establishment of the Czechoslovakia. Nevertheless, the new building types were trying to imitate the Roman Catholic buildings by their architectural space. Only after turning of the political regime in 1948 there was a strict refusal of the church influence. This has resulted in the need for further massive construction, especially of mourning ceremonial halls in Czechoslovakia. Currently there are mourning ceremonial halls in the territory of the Czech Republic which often do not meet the current operating or aesthetic requirements. Students of architecture at VŠB - Technical University in Ostrava worked with this issue and launched several proposals of rearrangements of the mourning hall built in Ostrava-Vítkovice in the 1920s or its replacement by a new project. Also there was a workshop carried out in March of this year a workshop with the theme &quot;Aesthetization of the mourning ceremonial hall&quot; in Ostrava&apos;s crematorium built between 1961-1970 according to a design of the architect Ivo Klimeš in a style of the late functionalism. This is a unique construction that after years of use does not meet current aesthetic and functional requirements. The results of the work prove the effort to bring a new look into the current mourning halls and create a decent space for saying the last goodbye.
