布尔诺（捷克第二大城市）一直缺乏一个设计师间的交流平台，KOGAA建筑工作室的Alexandra Georgescu创立了一个每年一次的活动，让设计师们可以展示自己的作品，并且建立自己的合作关系网。KOGAA工作室致力于适应性再利用项目。工作室因设计了Distillery文化办公空间而闻名，将几近废弃的建筑进行改造是他们一直以来的追求。基于外观和建筑方面的考量，建筑师这次选择了Avion酒店（Hotel Avion）作为改造对象 。Avion酒店是一个狭长的功能性建筑，由当地建筑师Bohuslav Fuchs设计，采用了柯布西耶融合垂直空间的手法。举办活动需要复杂的空间，Avion酒店的垂直空间布局十分理想。将来这里可以举办一系列的活动，包括设计交流会、研讨会、设计展、颁奖典礼、时装秀、放映影片、售卖设计商品，还会有从早到晚都开放的咖啡厅。

The total lack of a local platform for the design scene in the City of Brno, led it’ s Founder and head of Architecture Studio KOGAA Alexandra Georgescu, to initiate the yearly event as a support for local designers to showcase their work as well as network and build new collaborations.

The brainchild of adaptive-reuse projects, KOGAA Studio, internationally renown for their project of The Distillery – Social Reactor, pursue their ongoing ambition of reviving unused buildings by designating an inactive location to the yearly event.

Selected for its iconic and architectural value, Hotel Avion is a very narrow functionalist building designed by local Architect Bohuslav Fuchs, who adopted the vertical mingling of spaces from Le Corbusier. It’s vertical stretch was the ideal set-up for the complexity the event’s program, which encompasses a series of design talks and workshops, design exhibitions, design awards, fashion shows, a cinema, a pop-up design shop and cafe opened from morning till night.

建筑一层是光线最昏暗的地方，设计师将它作为举办交流会和放映电影的空间，二层还保留原始的功能，作为自助餐厅，连接设计商店。长长的定制桌子是设计商店的基本设施，晚上举办时装秀时还可以在上面走台步。三层包含学生展区、休息区和后台。顶部的大厅用于规模较大的研讨会。

The ground floor, the darkest space of the building, was assigned for the talks and cinema program, while the first floor’ s function was kept as in the original plan as a cafeteria, with connected design shop. The long custom table used as the base for the design shop is turned in the night into the catwalk for the fashion shows. At the second level of the Hotel there is a student’s exhibition, lounge zone and backstage, while the top balcony is used for the bigger workshops.
