NetZero – carbon neutral living in Brno
Dubanych, Yuliia ; Gebauer, Pavel (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The urban design of the area is a reaction to the spatial study prepared for the West Gate development location in Brno, which is surrounded by buildings of dominant importance: Bohunice University Hospital, Campus Square, Masaryk University faculties. The given location is unique in that it is one of the few in Brno where buildings can be placed high up, so in my proposal I actively work with the elevation level of the building. The height dominants are situated on the edges of the territory due to the course of the take-off corridor, but I also balance the overall composition of the territory with my position. The architectural solution of the proposed building responds to the urban structure and height of the buildings in the immediate vicinity. The parterre of the building respects the course of the original terrain, which is why the plinth is partially embedded with its mass underground. Operationally, the building is designed as accommodation for students with sales areas on the ground floor, which functionally complement the overall operation of the building. However, the building also has other services such as student coworking, which should primarily serve to gather a larger number of students for joint work or rest. Of course, the operation of the building is complemented by a functional public space, which it encloses with its shape.

NetZero – carbon neutral living in Brno
Osipova, Valentina ; Gebauer, Pavel (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of student housing in the Brno – Západní brána location. The two residential buildings are designed in the concept of carbon neutrality - Net Zero - throughout their life cycle. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to take into account, on the one side, operational carbon, which arises during the actual use of the building and is mainly related to energy consumption during the building's operation, and, on the other side, embodied carbon, which enters the structure before the building is started to be used. The only material reducing the overall carbon footprint is wood, and for that reason Net Zero is difficult to achieve without considering the use of wood as a construction material. Zeroing the carbon footprint in the entire life cycle is only achievable if both of the above principles are followed. The main delaying factor on the way to carbon neutrality for the Czech Republic are the currently valid legislative requirements, especially in the field of fire safety, which do not allow the construction of wooden buildings higher than 12 m fire height. The newly prepared legislation, expected to take effect from mid-2025, should push this limit up to 22.5 m, i.e. to approx. 7 floors. For this reason, the project envisages a wooden supporting structure. The proposal is based on the studio work from the previous semester, where a new urban structure West. Vista. View was designed at Jihlavská street west of the Západní brána tram stop. The overall concept of the urban study takes into account the principles of Net Zero in urban planning, which are a city of short distances, density, orientation to the cardinal points, reduction of car traffic and creating a favorable microclimate. The proposed buildings are six-story residential buildings, where the ground floor houses common student spaces (coworking) and rentable spaces for other services. On the second to fifth above-ground floors, there are maisonette apartments, and on the upper sixth floor – single-floor mini-apartments of a higher standard. The underground floor is dedicated mainly to technical operations. One of the buildings is dealt with in more detailed way as a main theme of the diploma project. It is a corner building located on the local square.

Mix/Match Brno
Denissenko, Daniil ; Havliš, Karel (referee) ; Toman, Radek (advisor)
Contemporary large cities are facing a housing crisis, which includes insufficient residential units, soaring rents, and insufficient capacity to meet the demand for affordable living. One pressing issue is the scarcity of temporary accommodations for students and living spaces for recent graduates embarking on their careers amidst steep rental prices. The project explores innovative housing solutions tailored to specified social groups. Implemented in the gap between two existing structures on Hlinky Street, opposite the Brno Exhibition Centre in the historic Old-Brno district, it presents affordable communal living for students, accessible housing for graduates, and integrates commercial amenity, which can thrive in the urban structure of the area.

Completion of the city block - Křížová street
Wintner, Roman ; Kaštánková, Jana (referee) ; Františák, Luboš (advisor)
As part of my bachelor thesis, I deal with design of an urban and conceptual solution for part of city quarter Staré Brno, specifically with the gap between Křížová Street and the newly designed complex Kras. In the design, I take into account the modification of the traffic situation, which was influenced by the second awarded proposal in the idea competition Mendlovo náměstí (2018). An equal part of the project is creation of an architectural study for two student houses and adjacent related institutions within the solved area. I decided for the design of student space because of current insufficient capacities, equipments of university dormitories and trend in rising rental prices of flats in Brno. In my work I come up with a closer analysis of the area, proposing a conceptual solution, where I also pay attention to the existing historical listed house. I deal with its future within the complex on idealogical level. The concept of the complex is partly based on the historical appearance of Křížová Street. I deal in detail with the concept of two student objects, which have their own character, but at the same time they try to come together and form one functional unit. It is important to fit into the character of the street and the overall atmosphere of the Staré Brno quarter (in the case of the building on Křížová Street) but in the current design without losing own identity. Equally important is the playful design of student accommodation, where I take into account the benefits of collective accommodation and the life at student’s dormitories. I try to make a contemporary, creative, non-limiting object, providing space for the individualities, which students definitely are.

The Students themselves - Student Center Poříčí
Kalivoda, Petr ; Jura, Pavel (referee) ; Foretník, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this work is solution of the area of the corners of streets Vídeňská and Táborského nábřeží by program of student housing and canteen for a total capacity of two hundred persons. The proposed project draws from a location on the river and the historical context of three monasteries in the area, which offers a typological study of the monasteries, and works with the architectural vision of the Tower of Babel. The main elements of the concept is a ramp through the entire building, which serves as a platform for the student social life.
