Workers‘ Housing of 21st Century
Ordeltová, Kristýna ; Šindlar, Jiljí (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of small-scale urban housing in a 21st century context. However, the aim was not to forget the industrial heritage of mining and metallurgical Ostrava. Most of this heritage includes a few buildings such as huge halls or mining towers, but small houses and dwellings at the other end of the scale are undoubtedly a true reflection of the period. Just as miners and metallurgists lived beneath the towers and chimneys of factories at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, I have also chosen a location for my dwelling in this work. The Petr Bezruč mine has been partially reclaimed and awaits its future use. I propose a residential district of 9 buildings offering different typologies and standards. It includes a complex urban design of outdoor spaces, their use and degree of privacy. The central motif of the proposal is also the „sokolovna“ - a reconversion of the workshop hall, which will serve as a leisure space for local residents. An industrial nature trail also runs through the area, helping to integrate the island below the mining tower into the context of the town.

Contemporary city
Zámečník, Kristián ; Joja, Milan (referee) ; Františák, Luboš (advisor)
To limit urban sprawl into the surrounding countryside, densification of development and use of neglected areas is necessary. In this thesis, I seek to address this by finding an ideal balance between density, open spaces and a diversity of functions that support the further development of the current area. The result should be a city that is viable, resilient and adaptable, delivering a quality living environment for its residents and supporting sustainable growth. A city that works as a whole with its new neighbourhood but is not overrun by it.

The Ideal City Žilina: Conversion of a former railway yard
Čuláková, Michaela ; Likavčanová, Lenka (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The subject of the thesis is the territory in Žilina city. It belongs to the Slovakian railways and has until now served as an unused area of the track. The current reconstruction of the railways will create a free area of almost forty-five hectares ready for conversion and new use. After the reconstruction, a railway line passes through the territory. The new use and structure respond to this condition. There will also be a new train stop on the route. The territory is the confluence of three rivers, the Váh, Kysuca, and Rajčianka, which is surrounded by greenery, and it was important to keep this natural character as much as possible. The large area of the territory has the prerequisites for the creation of a new urban district within walking distance of the city center. At the same time, the mix and diversity of land use support shorter walking distances and thus the support of non-motorized transport. An active waterfront, new public spaces, housing and employment opportunities, proximity, and connection of suburban areas have the potential to lighten the existing city center.

Analysis of the use of the potential of brownfields in the social area using the example of the South Bohemian Region
SEDLÁKOVÁ, Anita
The diploma thesis examines the use of the potential of brownfields in the social area on the example of the South Bohemia Region. The theoretical background of brownfields and the emergence of social innovation is presented and the approach to brownfields in the Czech Republic and abroad is compared. These theoretical findings are further applied in the practical part, which examines the former factory site in Jindřichův Hradec. An em-pirical survey with the public and interviews with stakeholders were conducted to propose a new use of the identified brownfield. The results of the empirical investigation show that the residents of Radouňka positively evaluate the change of ownership of the identified brownfield to a non-profit organization, which will lead to the regeneration of the area. The thesis proposes a concept of use in the context of helix models that promotes social inclusion and empowerment of the disabled in society through an unusual employment for the disabled in a sheltered garden center that would be established on the brownfield site. The new proposal deepens cooperation with the town of Jindřichův Hradec, universities and secondary schools and presents new forms of cooperation with local businesses. Fur-thermore, the financing options are examined, which show that the project will have to be financed primarily by external sources. The last part of the thesis deals with the feasibility study. Based on a cost-benefit analysis, the project to build sheltered workshops, shel-tered gardens and social therapy workshops was determined to be acceptable.

Regeneration of brownfields in the South Bohemian Region
ŠÁDKOVÁ, Pavla
The thesis on the topic of Brownfield Regeneration in the South Bohemian Region deals with a comprehensive approach to the analysis and regeneration of brownfields in the South Bohemian Region. The main objective of the thesis is to analyse and synthesize the ecological, social, and economic impacts of brownfield and greenfield regeneration on selected sites in the South Bohemian Region. A combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods was used to achieve the goals of the thesis. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part focuses on defining the issues of brownfields, evaluating the development and current state. It includes possible ways of classifying brownfields and methods of financing. In the second, practical part, a comparison of selected brownfields and greenfields in the South Bohemian Region is conducted. The sites are evaluated according to the model of the South Bohemian Region, which is based on a study by the German Ministry of the Environment and is based on the scoring of given criteria and their parameters. The model consists of 3 criteria - potential from the perspective of the municipality, potential from the perspective of the investor, and the change in the value of the site. Based on these, the significance of the sites is evaluated. Through the comparison of the Preference Index, the thesis subsequently presents a selection of sites suitable for implementation, including a proposal for future use. The outputs of the thesis contribute to a deeper understanding of the issues of brownfield regeneration and offer suggestions for the effective use of the potential of these sites to support the local economy and improve the quality of life for residents.

Renewal of Old Brno District
Sopoušková, Petra ; Boleslavská, Yvona (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The work deals with the development of the Old Brno District . Old Brno District is currently marked by waiting for the implementation of the land use plan, which should solve the problem of traffic. The implementation, however, will probably take a few decades. I propose to use the period of time before the change of traffic routes and begin a gradual development that will prefigure target form of the district. Well-designed architecture and urbanism is not the only condition for well-functioning city. Therefore, I propose a process which should lead to the target form, but to create social, economic, ecological and aesthetic values independently of it. For this purpose vacant spaces and temporary structures are used.

Brno waterfront - rehabilitation of rivers and their surrounding areas
Vrba, Petr ; Řehák, Filip (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The theme of the diploma thesis "Brno waterfront - rehabilitation of the Brno rivers and their surroundings" is creating an urban proposal in Brno, Zábrdovice, on the eastern waterfront of the Svitava river. The intention is to use the potential of the area and create the possibility of lucrative housing by river with a commercial ground floor, services, leisure time park with a multifunctional playground and easy direct access to the Svitava river. The studied location, has an area of 6.32 hectares andis defined mainly by the Zábrdovická Street and the Svitava River near the former Premonstratensian Monastery, which now serves as a Military Hospital. At present, the location has mainly low-floor industrial buildings with storage and expedition functions. The proposed buildings relate to existing buildings on the east and west banks of the Svitava River. They have the form of four to six storey blocks, which are characteristic for this area. The park connects to the revitalized eastern embankment of the river at the site of a new footbridgethat connects both rive sides and stairs. They provide space formeetings and relaxation, but also serve as a flood control in the event of a water inflow. Along the Svitava River there is a sidewalk with street alleyways and access to the river.
