Možnosti využití brownfields pro rozvoj loftového bydlení - případová lokalita DADA Distrikt (areál bývalých industriálních skladů) v Brně
Šťastný, Jiří
This work deals with the possibilities of using post-industrial brownfields for loft housing. In the section devoted to the literature search, the concept of brownfields was defined and then a typology of these sites was presented. Furthermore, in this part, the issues of regeneration of these sites were introduced with a focus on brownfields of industrial origin. A separate subchapter is devoted to loft housing. The theoretical part was supplemented with examples of implemented regeneration of brownfields, both from the Czech and foreign environments. Empirical research of this work was conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews with actors of the project of regeneration of the former industrial warehouse now known as DADA distrikt and with experts on this issue. Based on the analysis of the interviews, the process of regeneration of the studied site was described, the most significant challenges associated with the process of brownfields regeneration for loft housing were identified and recommendations for the development of loft housing in other urban locations in the Czech Republic were formulated. On the basis of the research, seven most important obstacles to the use of brownfields for loft housing were identified. These are complicated property relations of these buildings, the level of dilapidation, ecological burden, inconsistency between the visions of actors, insufficient definition of industrial heritage values, outdated or rigid zoning plan and insufficient profitability of the building. In relation to the last problem, the inappropriateness of the classical development finance model for projects of conversion of post-industrial brownfields for loft housing was identified. The readiness of spatial planning instruments, clear definition of industrial heritage values and popularisation of alternative forms of financing are essential for intensified use of brownfields for loft housing.
Industrial Heritage of Kladno
Rojková, Veronika ; Kocian, Jiří (advisor) ; Rak, Jiří (referee)
Industrial buildings and businesses are inherently to face the Central Bohemian city of Kladno. Through field research is captured in the work of the Kladno current state of industrial monuments and mapped their history. I used only specific cases that are written between technical monuments and they are interesting both from a historical and urban or technical perspective. Thanks capture the historical and contemporary situation arose holistic view of technical monuments in the area and at the same time there was a familiarity with the approach and in terms of the industrial heritage. The work is divided into three main parts. The first is devoted to an introduction to the issues and explain the basic concepts. The second part focuses on the history of metallurgy and mining in the Kladno and also explores the main sights, except where their history is mentioned as the current status. The third section shows the current utilization of monuments, looking for inspiration in the Czech Republic and abroad, how to dispose of unused objects and finally introduces activities that help attract the public's interest in technical monuments and sights mainly to help themselves. The conclusion summarizes the main ideas and conclusions of the work. The main goal was to bring one of the cities with industrial...
The Adaptation of Industrial Heritage in the Context of Existing Urban Structures
Struhařík, Daniel
Two industrial sites are compared on the basis of a collective case study – a former textile factory complex belonging to Vlněna in Brno which has been demolished, together with the Löwenbrau brewery, which has been converted into a viable site with apartments, offices and a gallery (thanks to the reconversion and completion of new contemporary layers). The fundamental difference was found to be a result of the respective public sector’s differing approaches, especially in the sphere of spatial planning. Due to the long-term strategy, identification of qualities and potential based on discussions with developers and the further involvement of other participants, Zurich city is about to revive its industrial quarters whilst also preserving important traces of the past. The example of Brno is different. The spatial “zoning” method causes a specific development without maintaining any existing spatial qualities. Another reason is the attitude of the National Heritage Institute, which does not take the importance of the Vlněna complex into consideration in its decisions altogether with its reference to the former development of Brno city as a part of the local industrial heritage.

Kuric, Alexander ; Zemánek, Václav (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
This diploma project focuses on the conversion of a foundry located in the former ČKD machine works in Vysočany. The proposal prioritizes conservation of key industrial heritage values and the presentation of those values to the public. The building is inserted into a proposed new urban structure which is integrated into the wider context of the currently regenerated brownfield.
Urban study of developing area Dolní Vítkovice
Vlach, Jan ; Kopáčik, Gabriel (referee) ; Sátora, Josef (advisor)
The object of this Thesis is an area adjacent to European heritage site of Dolni Vitkovice, in the city of Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian Region. This work focuses on making the area more accessible by all means of transportation, overcoming natural and man-made barriers as well as exploring the possibility of dense development on the site while maintaining its industrial identity. All that in context of otherwise slowly shrinking post-industrial city with aging and declining urban population.
MUSEUM OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN BRNO
Svíbová, Tereza ; Zemánek, Václav (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The goal of this diploma thesis was area between the city parts Malomerice and Obrany. After the construction of mill drive, an artificial island was created there. Industrial site with textile factories was established in 1912, however it does not fulfil its original purpose anymore and it is fairly damaged today. My intention was to clear the island and bring back its original form - park, unique place in nature where people acknowledge proximity of the river and cultural activities as well. I designed textile museum in the former factory building. It is accompanied by pavilion of Contemporary textile and fashion and also engineering exhibition. One of the components is an artificial canal for canoeists.
Historical brewery - potential for regional development
Mosler, Štěpán ; Boháč, Ivo (referee) ; Králová, Eva (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
Nowadays there are hundreds of breweries scattered throughout Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, waiting for their new future. They are either abandoned or in private property. In the worst case they have been deteriorating with no hope of recovery. There are not many left. It is very difficult to find a new function and especially enlightened investor. Important thing is how we will treat with these structures in the future. Will we use this unique potential, or leave this place for a new function? Which way we can choose? What is the potential of these buildings and what they need? This thesis attempts to briefly describe and demonstrate the value of brewery architecture which due to dramatic changes in society became endangered. And to offer possible solutions for the preservation this unique buildings their charm and atmosphere for the next generations.
Transformation of the Praha - Bubny station over time and its future
Doušová, Aleška ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Transformation of the Praha-Bubny station over time and its future" deals with the Prague railway station Praha-Bubny which until nowadays belongs to the peripheral section of the so called Holešovice`s meander. In this work historical development of this area is being described since the first settings at the ford connecting meander with the city, through the industrial revolution and foundation of this railway station until its closing and planned reconstruction. However, the main topic of this thesis is to focus on the remaining industrial buildings and to point at their historical value and need of their preservation. In individual chapters are being discussed influences of various historical events on those buildings standing in the railway station area.
