Rohatec Special Regime Home
Molčanová, Viktorie ; Todorov, Petr (referee) ; Boleslavská, Yvona (advisor)
The assignment of the thesis is to design a special care facility/home. The project of this facility is a direct response to the tornado-damaged S-Centrum building in Hodonín. Preceding this assignment is a pre-diploma project, which addresses a new building from an urbanistic perspective - analyses, integration into the surrounding development, and connection with the planned forest park. The area is ideally located on the outskirts of the municipality along a road leading to the city of Hodonín. An added advantage is its proximity to the forest, where terrain and garden improvements are planned, creating a new forest park with a lookout point. Due to the orientation of the plot to the north, there is the possibility of sunlight reaching the residential and communal areas from almost all sides. The shape of the building resembles the letter U, thus appearing open towards the forest. A park, vegetable gardens, pétanque, and seating areas are proposed between the building and the forest, while at the eastern end, it connects with the planned forest park via a gate. The connection with the building is from Nové řádky street, where the existing access to the plot is located, and the main entrance to the building is also oriented towards this street. Due to the height regulations in the municipality’s zoning plan (maximum 3 floors or 2 floors + attic), 3 floors with a basement are proposed, which is utilized for underground parking. The main goal of the design was to strengthen the capacities for providing social services in the special care facility/home, create a quality environment for patients and employees, and provide maximum integration with the surrounding nature.

The theme of the diploma project is an architectural study of a new building of a selected town house, defined by Veveří, Pekárenská, Kounicova and Sokolská streets. The thesis also includes the elaboration of the urban study of this block, including the adjacent urban spaces, solved in the pre-diploma project. On the plot in question there is an existing unenclosed block, which is traditional or includes elements typical of the development in this area. These are therefore houses with gabled roofs, traditional historic frontage and largely active ground floor. These existing buildings are set within an otherwise undeveloped area on the site and are not enclosed. There are residential dwellings within the existing block which have commercial uses such as a restaurant, pub, pharmacy, bar, massage parlour, hairdressers on some ground floors. There is also an Albert supermarket in the block. Otherwise, the existing land is more of a construction site. The land is situated close to the centre. Walking distance from the block to the bus stop Česká is about 10 minutes. There is a protected tree in the area named Platan Professor Chudoba. This tree has a buffer zone around it, thus defining the area for the proposed house. I am proposing two enclosed blocks within the study area. One which encloses an existing section of existing houses and a second block which is entirely new. Between these two blocks, I am rebuilding Race Street. This street is currently only accessible from Kounicova Street and is a dead end. I am renewing the street and extending it to Veveří Street, thus dividing the area into two units that are more pleasant in scale and also in scale with the surrounding blocks. The block that I am enclosing with the existing houses will replicate elements of these houses. I am referring to this block as the Traditional Block in working terms. My proposed houses in this traditional block will have a traditional gabled roof and a soft white façade. In the second, completely newly designed block, which I am referring to as the modern block, all the buildings will have flat roofs, some of which will then be fitted with a vegetated roof and the whole building will have a suspended brick façade. My aim is to create a pleasant environment for residents, customers and employees alike. To create interesting and lucrative spaces that will be pleasing to look at and to live in.

The thesis assignment was to develop a block in the Veveří district of Brno. The design for this locality in Brno is aimed at integrating the existing block structure into a new, harmonious system. The area under consideration, located in the Veveří district, is divided into two blocks by Závodní Street.The first part of the area creates an inner block with existing buildings. This block is located between Závodní Street and Sokolská Street. The existing buildings form a closed space, which will be urbanistically complemented to enhance its functionality and aesthetic value. The proposal includes the revitalization of the internal spaces, the addition of greenery, and the creation of areas for relaxation and social interaction for the residents.The second block, which arises as part of the new development, is influenced by the presence of a protected plane tree. This tree has a designated protective zone, requiring the block to be partially set back. This approach creates a public space along the busy Veveří Street.

Center for seniors in Brno-Medlánky
Minarčíková, Barbora ; Klimecký, Martin (referee) ; Gerö, Jiří (advisor)
The task of the diploma thesis is to design a senior living facility in Brno – Medlánky. This task was preceded by a pre-diploma project within the subject NGA056 – Specialized project, developed in the previous semester, which consisted of preparing an urban study with a proposal for urban structure including transportation solutions and the placement of various functions - residential areas, commercial areas, public buildings, civic amenities, a sports hall, a church, and further development of the senior living facility. The architectural study focuses on creating a suitable environment for long-term stay for seniors, meaning comfortable living, outdoor relaxation areas, adequate technical infrastructure, and a variety of services. The design stems from the concept of a compact, clear, and barrier-free base space with social areas and facilities connecting three pavilions of housing units. This ensures privacy in the housing units while providing ample space for social interaction. Access to the terrain linked with a park located on the southern side of the plot is easy from both the base floor and the housing units, providing direct contact with greenery in outdoor spaces. The main entrance leading to the base on the first floor is designed with a representative atrium, reflecting the grandeur of the entire complex. Technical and operational facilities are expanded to cover the capacity of a potential additional fourth pavilion. The entire complex reflects the requirement for peaceful and high-standard living in old age, respecting contemporary architecture and the needs of today's population. As a result, it becomes a place for contented aging.

New synagogue Jablonec nad Nisou
Adamčíková, Barbara ; Štolfa, Jozef (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the design of a new synagogue in Jablonec nad Nisou, which serves not only as a religious space but also as a social and community center for the local, not exclusively Jewish, community. The project aimed to create a multifunctional building that respects the historical significance of the original site while providing a modern and functional environment for spiritual, cultural, and social activities. The architectural solution of the building utilizes modern materials and technologies, including ventilated facades with illuminated glass panels and stainless steel elements, which ensure an aesthetic look and long-term sustainability of the building. In addition to the synagogue, the project includes a kosher restaurant, community spaces, and a shared underground parking lot, all contributing to the revitalization of the urban environment. The project placed maximum emphasis on integrating the building into the historical context of the city and its abstract connection to the neighboring Glass and Costume Jewelry Museum. Great emphasis was also placed on its functional connection with the surrounding environment. The project was developed considering the specific needs of the Jewish community and includes features that support spiritual and community life, such as prayer spaces oriented towards Jerusalem, the community center itself with a library, and outdoor relaxation areas.

Rohatec Special Regime Home
Čadová, Veronika ; Vostrejž, Dušan (referee) ; Boleslavská, Yvona (advisor)
The subject of the master’s thesis was to design an architectural study of a new building for a home with a special regime in Rohatec. This request was made in response to the tornado-destroyed building of the S-center in Hodonín. The request required the design of a multi-functional facility with a private garden for 90 patients and 100 staff working over two shifts. The selected land is located at the end of Rohatec, mostly surrounded by forest and a few family houses. At the same time, it‘s located by the main road, so it‘s easily accessible by everyone. The building is designed as a 3 story building with a flat roof and underground parking in the shape of an open U. The shape of the building itself is a compromise between the shape of the land, layout requirements for this type of facility, capacity requirements, and height restrictions according to the master plan. The shape allows for the creation of a private residential garden for the residents of the home, which is closed from the road, with a possible gate connection to the future forest park. The passage between the garden and the building will be enabled by a terrace around the entire perimeter of the inner side of the building. The individual home wings also enable layout separation of the individual departments needed for smooth building operations. Dispositionally, the home has a pharmacy open to the public, an underground parking lot, inpatient and administrative departments, a kitchen with a dining room, a cafe with a buffet, a library, a chapel, a part designated for therapy and space for mani-pedi with a hairdresser, rehabilitation with a gym, and more. The necessary technical background for the operation of the building, workshop spaces, a laundry room with a dryer, an ironing room, and storage rooms are also designed here.

This master's thesis focuses on a complex architectural and urban design of a multifunctional urban block in the historic center of Brno at the level of architectural study. The project aims to harmoniously integrate new buildings into the historical context of the city and respect the surrounding urban fabric. The proposal addresses the completion of an existing urban block and the creation of a new urban block between Veveří and Kounicova streets, thus creating a new Závodní street. The design preserves a memorial tree as a key element of the public space; the facade of the building steps away from it, creating a public space of a piazzetta with the memorial tree as the focal point. As part of the blue-green infrastructure, new greenery is integrated into the streets, and buildings with flat roofs have vegetated roofs with photovoltaic panels designed. The architectural solution includes two underground floors for parking, a ground floor with an active commercial ground floor with shops and a supermarket, and five above-ground floors with residential units. The last above-ground floor is set back from the rest. The urban design focuses on slowing down busy traffic and puts pedestrians in a dominant position. The architectural design respects the character of the area and combines traditional forms with a modern appearance. The structural solution of the building combines a reinforced concrete skelet system with a ceramic wall system. The project exploits the potential of land use and brings up to 399 new residential units ranging from 1+kk to 4+kk, with higher standard apartments on the last setback above-ground floor.

Restoration of the monastery in Šternberk
Janečková, Klára ; Kocourek, Tomáš (referee) ; Guzdek, Adam (advisor)
The task of the diploma thesis was the development of an architectural study of the restoration of the former Augustinian monastery in Šternberk city and the compositional layout of the adjacent area. Since 1993, the monastery has been owned by the Šternberk municipality, which is trying to gradually revitalize it. The goal of the proposal is to carefully use the existing building and make the monastery garden accessible to the public. In response to the demands of the investor and the coexistence of the church, a primary art school, restaurant, wine bar, hotel, ceremony hall and exhibition spaces were designed in the building. The inner atrium was covered by glass roof and completed with an elevator and stairs. In connection with the proposed functional use and due to inadequate access to the premises, an underground parking lot was placed in the western part with the possibility of entry to the courtyard in front of monastery. Two new entrances were created to the garden, connecting Opavská street with Zahradní street.

The subject of the diploma thesis is the design of a set of town houses within the Veveří, Pekárenská, Kounicova and Závodní blocks in Brno. The town house represents a historical archetype that represents the ideal functional composition of the building within the compact structure of the development in the wider center of Brno. The polyfunctionality of individual houses consists of a vertical functional division, where the ground floor is usually home to commercial units intended for catering, trade, administration or small production. Urban blocks, by their closure, firmly define the boundary between private and public. Public space is fairly dedicated to all. The non-public inner block is dedicated only to residents, which provides a rare added value with its functional content from recreational sports, relaxation, gardening. Some apartments are also oriented towards the inner block, which have direct contact between the interior and the exterior. On the higher floors, access to the exterior is ensured by means of loggias, balconies and terraces of stepped floors. Part of the inner block is dedicated to a single-storey supermarket, the capacity of which follows on from the existing operation. The roof of the supermarket is a connected part of the terrain of the inner block. On the roof there is a recreational multifunctional playground, an active sports area, a terrace connected to the community hall and a community sauna. All sections have access to a shared courtyard for residents. The underground parking is situated on two floors, separated from the parking for residents and visitors to the supermarket and other commercial units. The character and spatial solution of the objects is based on knowledge of the place and the surrounding objects, which are located in the city's heritage zone on the near border of the Brno city heritage reserve. The building thus brings a new architectural layer to the place with respect for its surroundings. The building is divided by urban-architectural details, such as stepped floors, accented corners, risality, gabled roof gables, vertical material solution of the facade or the same rectangular format of vertical window openings. However, the architectural solution inspired by history is dressed in a contemporary coat, which ensures the careful use of energy, rainwater management, the support of biodiversity and, with its positive approach to the human scale, the support of social sustainability. Vegetation areas for rainwater management are located not only on roofs, but also on facades, specifically on railings, which are the subject of a separate architectural detail solution. In addition to individual town houses, the proposal also includes the creation of the structure and character of public spaces. In particular, the character of the city street Veveří is strengthened, the new Závodní street is created and the character of the existing service streets is adjusted, in which the pedestrian is favored over the driver, and adequate traffic calming solutions were chosen with the aim of supporting mobility by public transport. Professor Chudoba's memorial tree is the centerpiece of the new important public space, with its parameters of a patch. A majestic tree closes the interior of this space and creates an ideal environment for meetings with the possibility of a longer stay thanks to the situated catering facilities.

Gallery of Modern Art Brno
Jaroměřský, Ondřej Oldřich ; Obrtlík, Jan (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor)
The subject of this bachelor thesis is the design of a modern art gallery in Brno, Czech Republic. The building serves as a new cultural and educational centre, which creates a new landmark for the inhabitants of Brno. The site is located close to the historic centre of Brno, on the site of the former city walls at the Koliště ring road. There is a tram stop Malinovského náměstí at the main entrance to the site. Two paths lead to the plot from the planned city park, which will be built on the site of the ČD railway siding. The last access to the site for pedestrians and cyclists is from the newly designed footbridge over Koliště Street, which will connect the city park with the new parking house in Koliště Street. The adjacent surroundings of the building, including the parterre with park landscaping, are linked to the future development of the Brno Ringstraße and thus complete the planned green belt around the historic heart of the city. The designed building is six-storeys high, with two underground floors used mainly for parking not only for gallery visitors but also for residents of the surrounding area. The underground parking garage can be accessed via two wheelchair accessible entrances located opposite the main entrance to the gallery, with a vehicle entrance located on Koliště Street according to the new regulatory plan, which plans to build a parking building there. The gallery section itself is made up of four storeys, with the central part of the layout serving as an elevated atrium going through all the storeys, covered by a glazed skylight. This space is used to display large-scale art that can also be hung in the space. The first floor contains, in addition to a lecture hall, cloakrooms and two offices for the gallery management, a workshop room, an open space with refreshments, a technical room and three staircases that go through all floors, including the basement. The first staircase is located at the back of the elongated atrium and, together with the lifts, serves as the main vertical communication in the building. The remaining two staircases with lifts serve as escape routes in the case of fire, leading out of the building on the first floor. All floors are also connected by a hydraulic freight elevator, which is used for the supply and delivery of artworks to the building. The remaining floors with the same layout are primarily used as exhibition spaces with a view into the atrium from the gallery balconies. There are always sanitary facilities for visitors to the building and also preparation rooms for the exhibition spaces. The appearance of the building is heavily inspired by 20th century Brno architecture, both in terms of the material context and the morphology of the building. The heavy and dignified base of the building is formed by a ventilated facade with ceramic brick strip cladding, which emphasises the seriousness and importance of the institution housed in the building. The envelope of the remaining three floors is also made up of a ventilated facade, but with curved perforated panels of anodised aluminium and white powder painting. This upper part of the building, as if shrouded by a curtain, emphasises the fragility and uniqueness of the artworks exhibited, thus protecting them from the world around them, and at the same time highlighting their importance in contemporary society.
