Residential Complex on the Red Hill in Brno
Matoušek, Martin ; Joja, Marie (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The Červený kopec area represents a strategic location for the further development of Brno. The immense potential of the site lies in its high attractiveness due to the proximity to greenery along the Svratka River and surrounding forests, panoramic views of Brno, and its location on the outskirts of the Staré Brno. Currently, the area is sparsely populated, yet plans for its development are becoming increasingly frequent. The first step towards new construction could be the newly built long-term care hospital on the site of the historic one. This project responds to the potential of this location and aims to capitalize on its lucrative attributes. This abstract analyzes the potential and possibilities for the development of Červený kopec and proposes strategies for the effective use of this key urban area in the context of Brno's development.

Residential Complex on the Red Hill in Brno
Skálová, Jana Vojtěška ; Joja, Marie (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor‘s thesis is to design a residential complex on Red Hill in Brno. The design will take into account the trends of contemporary residential architecture and offer possible solutions to the current housing crisis. The site is located on the border of the densely built-up area of Štýřice and nature, and currently houses a garden colony. The design uses the form of cooperative housing, which is supported by a system of variable layouts of individual apartment buildings and villas. This gives future residents the opportunity to intervene in the construction and configure the house according to their own ideas. The houses utilize the sloping terrain by being embedded into the ground. The entire complex is connected by a park with a retention pond, a children‘s playground, a workout, a community garden, and a lookout tower. The residential function of the complex is complemented by a multifunctional building with a café and rental spaces. The design reflects the vision of future living based on flexible layouts, sustainability, and support for diversity.

Residential Complex on the Red Hill in Brno
Obrovská, Anna ; Mléčka, Jan (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
As part of my bachelor's thesis, I am undertaking the design of a residential complex located on plot No. 1057 in the cadastral area of Štýřice, situated southwest of Brno's city center. The site shares its borders with Kamenná colony to the north, while the southern boundary is defined by the former LDN area, earmarked for the future development of a health and social care facility on Červený kopec. The aim of the proposal is to address the housing crisis and the current deficiencies in civic amenities in the vicinity. The proposed apartments are designed in accordance with contemporary housing trends, with an emphasis on ensuring maximum comfort for future residents. Their placement and architectural design are planned to harmonize with the surrounding landscape and respect the natural character of Červený kopec. The residential complex is be complemented by a diverse public space and services. The proposed complex includes a multifunctional center, community garden, and newly created road.

The Ideal City Ostrava: The Gap on Masaryk Square
Daňová, Barbora ; Štefková, Barbora (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The gap area on Masaryk Square has been a neglected long time. Nowdays it looks unaesthetic. The location is significant, because it is placed in the historical center of the city. It is ideal for design of a representative building that will attract visitors with its modern concept and also with a reference to history of the city. The architectural design responds to the surrounding development and functionally it reacts to the issue of lack of housing in the center of Ostrava. It is an apartment building with public commercial space in the first two floors. A courtyard is designed in the center of the area, and it remains open to the public. The design is attractive for its modern view on traditional architecture. The building supports the current architecture in Ostrava and also reinforces the historical meaning of the place as a unit.

The Ideal City Brno: The New Stará Osada
Hladíková, Tereza ; Skála, Jiří (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
My master thesis deals with the urban locality Stará Osada, which is an artery of the urban district of Brno- Židenice. It is a social and transport hub for the Brno - Židenice district. Stará Osada is part of the wider city centre. This traffic junction is defined by a development of prefabricated houses, where the dominant feature of the environment is a thirteen-storey building. Stará Osada could be defined similarly to Mendel Square in Brno. Compared to Mendel Square, the space of Stará Osada is very fragmented, disorganised and people only use it as a transfer point for public transport. In connection with the construction of the New Armoury and the traffic tunnel, traffic calming on Gajdošova- Svatoplukova Streets, which currently form the city ring road, will be addressed in the future. Stará Osada has the potential to be a full-fledged centre of Židenice, which supports the development of the urban district, which the district strives for. The aim of the thesis is to design a public space in the form of a square with new buildings, supporting the development that is lacking in the urban district. The buildings, by their mass, will enclose and integrate the space of Stará Osada and will be a manifesto of a possible architectural and urbanistic solution for Stará Osada. The square and the adjacent buildings will provide the opportunity for increased social events and new housing.

The Ideal City Žarnovica: New urban development Na lieskovci
Kordíková, Laura ; Brašeň, Matej (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The assignment of the work is based on the new spatial plan in cooperation with the mayor of the city, with whom various forms of city development were discussed and subsequently one of the parts of the spatial plan was selected, which will be processed in the form of an urban-architectural study. The aim of this thesis is to propose the connection between Žarnovica and the town district of Žarnovická Huta, with the new town district of Na lieskovci. The main points of the study will be the transport connections between the city and the urban district, the housing proposal supplemented with suitable functions of civic amenities and new recreational facilities for the bike park, which is located closely to the site. Within housing, we will try to create enough variations for different groups of the population, from smaller apartments to family houses. Thanks to the mixing of groups of people and the combination of housing with civic amenities, we will create a functioning whole connecting all the surrounding parts of the city.

The Ideal City Trenčín: The new Train and Bus Station
Holbová, Natália ; Petruš, Lukáš (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis is based on a pre-diploma project, which focused on analysing the city of Trenčín. The analyses and the questionnaire showed what the city lacks and what the city excels in. This was followed by the selection of one specific problem. By solving my chosen problem, the city would come closer to being ideal. I focused on the train station and its surroundings. This was due to the negative responses in the questionnaire I created and in the available online analyses of the city. I also included its surroundings in the design for a better revitalisation of the place. The proposal itself is in the spirit of respect for the place and resolving the problematic state of the place. The aim is to replace the inappropriate existing buildings with new ones that will add to the functionality of the site.

The Ideal City Nitra: The Klokočina Central Zone
Ďurčovič, Martin ; Csanda, Milan (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The research objective of my diploma thesis is to identify and examine the potential of the central zone of the Klokočina housing estate in Nitra City through a spatial study. I work with the urban development concept proposed in the city zoning plan, which I thoroughly analyse and further develop. The main emphasis of the work is on creating a quality public space and promoting socially sustainable ways of future building development. I design new urban spaces and the subsequent urban building structure that shapes the new urban spaces. The proposed spatial study can serve the city of Nitra as a quality reference material for decision-making in the territory and spatial planning, which provides sustainable urban development.

The Sustainable City: Future Timber Buildings
Lacková, Zuzana ; Krištof, Michal (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of sustainable urban development using timber buildings as a means to achieve this goal. It takes into account the knowledge gained in the pre-diploma thesis with the resulting design of a complex of residential buildings and a civic building made of wood in Brno. This ensemble creates a model of the so-called ideal sustainable city, which provides a different perspective on contemporary urban design. Nowadays, sustainable urban development is one of the main issues in urban planning and architecture. With the growing awareness of environmental and economic challenges, there is an increasing demand for alternative solutions to ensure the viability and prosperity of urban environments. Within this context, timber buildings are gaining increasing attention as an environmentally and economically viable solution for urban construction and planning. Wood as a building material has unique properties that make it attractive for the urban environment. Its versatility, lightness, thermal insulation properties, and unique aesthetic potential make it an ideal material for modern buildings. In addition to being a renewable resource, its construction and use have a minimal environmental impact compared to traditional building materials.

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.
