Project description

The Aula of Tomas Bata University in Zlin has undergone a complete reconstruction under the guidance of architect Eva Jiřičná and her studio AI-DESIGN. The interior is shaped by an organic design and impressive acoustic ceilings. The renowned architect Eva Jiřičná’s talent and vision, combined with the capabilities of modern building materials from Saint-Gobain, result in an outstanding architectural design. The project employed Rigips materials in combination with OWA acoustic ceilings, Glasroc F Riflex, Rigitone acoustic boards, Habito® Flex tapes, and Blue acoustic boards. Additionally, Rigips’ technical support played a vital role in the success of the project, providing assistance in designing the unique technical specifications of the cascade ceilings. The investor placed a high emphasis on the final smoothness of surfaces, so the plastering was completed by skilled professionals from Z & Ř STAVBY s.r.o.

Architect’s testimonial
Eva Jiřičná
Even at my age I think that architects must create for pleasure and that it is better to use colour. It’s like a little child, if he can choose, he will choose a colourful thing too. And I still have that little kid in me somehow
