Revitalization Program of Floral Garden in Kromeriz
Ferenc, Jonáš ; Nový, Alois (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The goal of this project is revitalization of the Květná garden in Kroměříž, especially the foreland , where an appropriate visitor center is to be created, capacity of which would would provide for the whole garden. The basic principle of this project is rebuilding the garden in its previous state and provide the visitors with what they need to understand and appreciate it. The main point of the design is in relocating the former entrance so as to meet the needs of the newly created visitor center. The foreland is renewed and split into separate spaces to supplement the function of the main garden and provide further utilization options.

Multipurpose Town House on Křížová Street, Brno
Ferenc, Jonáš ; Halfar, Jiří (referee) ; Mikulášek, David (advisor)
The object of this thesis is a design of a polyfunctional house on Křížová street, Brno, Czech Republic. The design follows up the previously proposed reconstruction of Mendel square (and its change from a solely transit area to a target area), which is a prerequisite for this project. The city house has shops and commercial spaces on the ground floor, offices on the second floor, traditional flats on the third floor, while the fourth and five floors offer alternative housing in the form of “roof houses”, which combine the advantages of both having a family house and living in an urban environment. There are underground garages below the building, a hotel inside of it and a multipurpose hall in the courtyard.

Transformation of suburban villages
Ferenc, Jonáš ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Šilhánková, Vladimíra (referee) ; Balabánová, Pavla (referee) ; Koutný, Jan (advisor)
The thesis discusses suburban villages (and, indirectly, also villages that are even further away from urban areas), their current character, and their changes over the course of history. Most Bohemian, Moravian and Silesian municipalities struggle with persistent issues, such as the decline of their primarily agrarian function (and the unattractiveness of this lifestyle for the younger generations), changes in demographic composition (the exodus of natives to cities, and their replacement by “weekenders“), the lower purchase power of rural areas (due to lower wages in agriculture and the lack of other job opportunities), insufficient traffic infrastructure, unclear property relations, the loss of their own identity due to the closeness of a core city, and uncontrolled suburbanisation which transforms both villages and their environment. The end effects of these issues are depopulation of rural areas, ageing of current inhabitants and unfavourable prospects for the future. On the other hand, the situation in neighbouring Bavaria seems to be the exact opposite. Bavaria hasn't experienced collectivisation, and a communist dictatorship hasn't cut the ties of local inhabitants towards their lands and properties which have been in their families for centuries. Many issues encountered in the Czech Republic are therefore unknown here, and villages that happen to be near urban areas tend to grow in a natural way while retaining their original rural and local identities. The superior infrastructure network enables better mobility of the populace, which allows the people to commute longer distances. However, they can still spend their time in their actual place of residence, and they often proudly consider themselves a part of the local social life and of the local community – not of the core city. Therefore the goal of the thesis is to compare Czech and Bavarian villages in terms of sustainable development, using specific examples, to analyse which elements are better in which system, and to compare whether it is possible to apply the principles of sustainability which are used in Bavaria to the sustainable development of Czech countryside.

Change of Periurban Country Housing
Ferenc, Jonáš
Contribution to the conference will deal with the analysis of rural settlements, lying in close proximity and relation to medium-sized cities (former county or region capitals, up to about 100 000 inhabitants). These villages are often administrative part of the cities which have spread to them. They have lost the primary function (agriculture), they are subject of extensive urbanization, social functions and commerce are moved to the city. Suburban villages are transformed to mere residential area without its own original content and importance as a local centre. Little by little, suburban villages are transformed from country environment into urban district, but they retain some of their own character and specifics. Apart from the largest cities (in Czech Republic it is Prague and partly Brno) they do not change their traditional urban structure. Village so retains its original plan with central space (square). Contribution presents a historical analysis of the development of suburban villages and opportunities, how to work with ongoing urbanization of country centre and villages itself.

Transformations of Rural Settlements in the Urban Fringe
Ferenc, Jonáš
Most Czech, Moravian and Silesian villages face chronic problems including the weakening of their primary agricultural function (and the fact that this type of economic activity does not appeal to the younger generations), changes in the population structure (the original population leaving for the city and new residents coming, who only return home to sleep), lower purchasing power of the village (due to low wages in the agricultural sector and in small local businesses, along with a shortage of jobs), insufficient transport infrastructure, unclear ownership relations, loss of identity due to the proximity of the urban core, and uncontrolled suburbanisation transforming villages and their surroundings.
