This thesis examines the extensive infrastructure of multipurpose cultural buildings in small Slovak towns—primarily community centers and former cinemas—which were built mainly in the second half of the 20th century. It builds upon a pre-diploma project that mapped the treatment of this infrastructure and the challenges it faces. It responds to these challenges by creating a series of spatial strategies that present concrete architectural solutions, open to adaptation to the specific conditions of other locations. In doing so, it builds upon the fundamental characteristic of these buildings—universality—which need not to be an obstacle to creating a place with a distinct identity. The spatial strategies were developed and tested through work on two “typical” buildings—a cinema and a cultural center. Both projects demonstrate an alternative approach to the standard practice of renovating similar structures in Slovakia.

Studentka odprezentovala svou diplomovou práci. Byly přečteny posudky a otázky oponenta. Studentka reagovala na oponenturu. Je v obou těchto obcích nějaká jiná instituce podobné funkce? Jaká je vaše reflexe obou projektů v kontextu doby, kdy byly domy postaveny, a jejich kulturní hodnoty? Proč jste si zvolila právě tyto dva objekty? Jak uvažujete o emocích a estetice budovy v minulosti a ve vaší intervenci? Jak se tyto aspekty mění? Jak byste vyhodnotila, co pro vás ta budova znamenala v minulosti? Dá se popsat, co s tou budovou děláte? Prof. Ing. arch. Mitášová reaguje na absenci reflexe slovenského historického kontextu budovy a klade otázku, zda studentka vědomě ignorovala tento kontext, a zároveň komentuje zásah do lehké fasády slovy: „…môže mi byť jedine smutno, že ju odstraňujete.“
