Leisure and Integration Centre in Hranice
Camarda, Gabriela ; Staňková, Eva (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The basic starting point of the project is to understand needs of mentally disabled people and an evaluation of a badly usable floodplain. The draft proposes creation of an activity park, an exemplary garden and a leisure- and integration centre object. The centre generates an important point on the route from the city centre to the neighbouring spa town and connects two significant areas in the town, which associate various cultural and sports facilities. The design of flood-protection works was evolving from a version with a partial increase of the terrain and placement of a flood-protection dyke up to the nature-close arrangements in a terrain-dyke form, which doesn´t inhibit natural processes of the Bečva river and maintains an active flood zone in an almost unchanged shape. The building program was formulated in two versions. A creative café connected with a gastro-workshop is fundamental in the both versions. In the building program A a horticulture is emphasised, the building program B is more aimed at a creative-workshops. The new building is reacting to the needs for integration of disabled people and it's creating a place for “meeting”. The public space is creating by the composition of volume containing various functions. The garden- and park-arrangements in the studied area were chosen in the way to fully support the character of the planned leisure-centre. The draft is composed by geometrically alternating areas with different functions, which are connected by a promenade going along the dyke-crown.

Compact City - or what new is able to yet be done in Brno among railway stations
Hill, Petr ; Palacký, Jiří (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Diploma project seeks for new visions in urban solutions of area south of Brno main railway station. This place could become an interesting space for new spacial creativity in connection with the project of new railway station. The work looks for alternatives to officially presented projects with orderly and straight street layouts to create pleasing and livable public space, which would become not only the tour from station to the city, but the city itself. Six meters of height difference is used to separate road and pedestrian traffic and offers an undisturbed walking movement through the elevated pedestrian streets, which are not so deep as they would be when on the ground level, so their width could be downsized to a pleasant minumum, whereas all necesary functions (like parking and supplies areas) také place below it. Geometrical concept of two shifted hexagonal grids delivers a practical large blocks on the ground level for parking and divides the area into separate projects. The walking streets` grid fractionates big portions into more subtle building block layout so comfortable for pedestrian movement. Project also deals with development phases of area to protect it from nonreversible tenous development at the beginning. The structure works as a lively city in the very beginning of the development.

Compact City - or what new is able to yet be done in Brno among railway stations
Stuchlík, Aleš ; Konvička, Miloslav (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Project deals with the Brno main railway station and a large area behind this station, including the broader context of a railway junction in Brno and the suburban area. Station is located in the user-friendly and operationally advantageous location in the city center. „Zanádraží“, from the city center point of view, remains behind the station, but it isn`t the city inside periphery anymore. Proximity to city center, train and bus station and the river „Svratka“ give uniquely positioned for the generation of attractive neighborhoods. Author rejects functionalist arrangement of cities and vertical segregation of communications. The new city district is formed by use traditional urban repertoire: streets, squares and waterfronts defined by closed block development. The emphasis is on functional public transportation system, favorable conditions for pedestrian movement and the sustainability of private transport, which is providing a facility for ensuring the service areas, but not for undirected growth threatening urban environment.

Compact City - or what new is able to yet be done in Brno among railway stations
Strnad, Roman ; Wahla, Ivan (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The integration of an official project for overground railway viaduct into envisaged urban structure of Brno city south centre is the key consideratoin of this project. In terms of transportation relationships in the regional scale this line can provide with the transport options spread more evenly. Moreover, the junction in the existing position would remain in operation since the new regional railway station is placed in there, avoiding the only junction available in the replaced station further away. The new regional line technical project (concept: ing. Josef Veselý, project: Metroprojekt a.s.) has inserted the railway viaduct upon the space designated for a wide boulevard connecting the replaced railway station to the city centre. The boulevard is defined in the city´s masterplan. In terms of architecture, image of the city and sensual quality of space, the presence of a huge traffic infrastructure is not desirable and causes serious public and proffesional considerations. The Compact City project challenges this dilemma by wrapping the viaduct in the building volumes. The project suggests that the spaces both beneath the viaduct and above it could be utilized. Such a solution has been seen in many european cities (Vienna, London, Paris, Amsterdam). The Compact City project´s land use strategy brings up and defines relatively broad and homogenous areas for distinctive uses. This is derived from the knowledge that the particular uses tend to accumulate and segregate from one another so as to reach the most efficient position. Being the city considered as a whole the mixture of uses seam to be more convenient when an appropriate scale of mixture is achieved. Enclaves of a particular size, nor too big nor too small, would be glued and connected by a elements shared in use and heterogenous in form. The housing area is both divided and at the same time connected to the area of commercial and shopping by means of the public amenities being housed in the overrail building. Particularly those uses and activities are envisaged and designed which do not require a perfect contact and access to and from the street space.

Compact City - or what new is able to yet be done in Brno among railway stations
Šuška, Milan ; Veselý, Josef (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The diploma thesis reacts on the upcoming urban plan for Brno-Jižní centrum. It creates a piece of a real city with some traditional urban spaces and vertically mixed functions. The theory of the creation of the new town quarter is strongly influenced by the reconstruction of Brno railway junction and by the requirement of the incorporation of the city high speed rail connected with Brno region. In the transport concept a new railway tracing is designed enabling to bring all regional trains to the present junction point – Brno main station. This solution will improve a public transport in the city. Moving the route from the Boulevard will make possible an unlimited connection between historical centre and new Jižní centrum. In the design the emphasis is put on a maximal habitability of the area together with application of semi-public residential courts known as “hofjes.” The new public spaces are based on composition principles, optical connection to the historical heart of the city and on linking of urban structures that provide a smart pedestrian connection between the future main railway station and the historical city centre.

Freedom square in Znojmo
Křížek, Josef ; Ludvíková, Iveta (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The Freedom square in Znojmo was the task to solve. It was solved as a urbanistic - architectural study of the public space in a very bad state. An analysis of the state was a part of this work and as apart of the pre-diploma study. The area is set on the northen part of the historic center of the own of Znojmo. The main problem is the transport, for people unfreandly and illegible public space, calle the Freedom sguare, the contact of the different urbanistic structures, used just for parking the cars and growing the grass. The sollution slows down the transport, connects the green parts of the town. The space is designed to be friendlier and more pleasant and safe for people. The houses are designed as multifunctional with shops and living. the place must be atractive for walkers and bikers. The bikecenter, market place and the first rate of the design of this area will be atractive for people.The place is good forrelaxing and safe moving as well.

Compact City - or what new is able to yet be done in Brno among railway stations
Burešová, Magdaléna ; Točík, Eugen (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Urban architectural study of a new part of Brno between the contemporary and the future main train station aims to create an urban space that would respect the basic principles of well-functioning living cities. The solution presented here includes the polyfunctional constructed space of a city, where the basic unit is a city "block", treated here in the extent typical for this type of study. The design utilizes two main levels. The natural terrain and the historically given level of +6m. In the latter level we encounter the pedestrian routes and the related half-private and half-public areas. Within the whole area there are allocated several "crystallized cores", i.e. the strategic focal points which are important for the whole city and hence represent suitable positions for public buildings. Closer attention is paid to the area neighbouring with the new train station, which touches upon the bank of the river Svratka.
