Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice

Project description
Project Id 3611
Project Name 14 | 15 Bata Institute, Czechia
Description The 14 | 15 Ba?a Institute or buildings are part of the whole Ba?a factory or company complex that is now composed by public and social buildings, as well as residential buildings developed during the years of the greatest development of Zlin from the 1920s to the 1940s. In 1894, Tomáš Ba?a, along with his brother and sister launched the T. & A. Ba?a Shoe Company, a small startup in a town of what was then 3,000 people. Having overcome some financial hardships, Tomáš Ba?a and later on, his step-brother Antonín Ba?a took over the ownership. The factory was severely damaged by Allied bombing, and consequently, architect Ji?í Voženílek produced a new master plan for the factory (1946). The first buildings erected according to this new master plan were buildings Nos. 14 and 15, which were designed for shoe confection and rubber. The new Communist regime took over management of the factory until private investors took control over the factory and the region of Zlin over the buildings.
