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.

To Dvur Kralove by train - Transfer Terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem
Turčanová, Terézia ; Vrbka, Jan (referee) ; Ponešová, Barbora (advisor)
The task of this Bachelor thesis is to create an architectural and urban design of the transfer terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem. Therefore in my proposal, I design and integrate the transfer point into an existing built – up area, so it meets the demands of the 21st century passengers, encourages visitors to explore the city and meets daily needs and activities of the local community. Train and bus terminal together with various other services are combined under one roof to create a meeting place. The center of the area is an elevated glazed terminal hall that covers and connects various functions in the separate blocks within it. A distinctive unifying element of the entire terminal is the overlapping roof in the space around the hall and over platforms. The shape of pillars under the roof refers to the character of the industrial zone located nearby and the "lace-shaped" crossing of the ribs under the ceiling creates a specific atmosphere. The shelter over bus stops corresponds with the roof. Simultaneously it fills the interrupted street line on the Ulica 28. rijna street. The project of the area together with its surroundings also includes places for park greenery as well as for living that complement the missing public spaces in this part of town. The scale of objects is chosen with regard to the character of the site and its importance and location within the city, which has about 16 000 inhabitants.
