Small village Srednja vas near Goriče had a clear layout, preserved since the 13th century. Over time, self-building and spontaneous adaptation of buildings led to a drastic spatial transformation, negating the original distribution of the built tissue, and threatening the protected settlement heritage, which led to the loss of its identity.
Any new structure in agriculture is challenging. Due to increased capacities (mechanization, expansion of farms), finances, spatial and temporal constraints, owners opt for unregulated forms of building in most of the cases. Farmers often build adittions that meet only the most basic needs, as coordinated village appereance does not present a value. Built tissue does not meet the needs of our time.
Through the study of the history and building patterns in the countryside, the assignment explores the correct and meaningful relationship of the village structure on site, which can gradually transform back in the former shape of the village.
Based on natural conditions, the concept of sustainable farming and change of the standards in size of agricultural buildings, I create a new flexible modular farm building. Its design allows the possibilities of expansion or constriction, and by that, a flexible use.
Agriculture in Srednja vas is mostly engaged in dairy cattle farming. Modular design of the agricultural facility is related to this activity. On the selected case study, I showcase the possibilities of establishing a finished production and design in an economic facility, which includes a small cheese factory by the stable. New facilities are designed with an optimal functional and structuraly clear design.
