A new life for the factory = a new life for Portlaw
Kvášová, Lucie ; Plášil, Jiří (referee) ; Boháč, Ivo (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the reconversion of the former tannery site in Portlaw, Ireland, with a history dating back to the 19th century. Situated in close proximity to the town center, the facility holds significant potential for further utilization. Following its closure, the site remained neglected for a considerable period, now perceived with mixed feelings – as a place with a rich industrial heritage of which Portlaw residents are proud, yet also as a location bearing the negative impacts of past industrial activities on the environment. Strategically located in the valley along the Clodiagh River, the site was established with a canal for water transportation. Its position along the city's gateway enables seamless integration into the urban fabric. Its secluded nature shields it from the eyes of city dwellers, minimizing disruptions to the surrounding environment, making it an ideal venue for activities even with higher levels of noise and lighting. The objective of the proposal is to revive the site and its "genius loci," aiming to achieve a high level of destination attractiveness for both Waterford County residents and tourists. The plan entails the creation of a multifunctional space, new public areas, and greenery cultivation, positively influencing the overall character of the area. The reconversion plan introduces diverse functions, transforming the site into a vibrant and adaptable hub for local residents and visitors alike.

Brno waterfront - rehabilitation of rivers and their surrounding areas
Vrba, Petr ; Řehák, Filip (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The theme of the diploma thesis "Brno waterfront - rehabilitation of the Brno rivers and their surroundings" is creating an urban proposal in Brno, Zábrdovice, on the eastern waterfront of the Svitava river. The intention is to use the potential of the area and create the possibility of lucrative housing by river with a commercial ground floor, services, leisure time park with a multifunctional playground and easy direct access to the Svitava river. The studied location, has an area of 6.32 hectares andis defined mainly by the Zábrdovická Street and the Svitava River near the former Premonstratensian Monastery, which now serves as a Military Hospital. At present, the location has mainly low-floor industrial buildings with storage and expedition functions. The proposed buildings relate to existing buildings on the east and west banks of the Svitava River. They have the form of four to six storey blocks, which are characteristic for this area. The park connects to the revitalized eastern embankment of the river at the site of a new footbridgethat connects both rive sides and stairs. They provide space formeetings and relaxation, but also serve as a flood control in the event of a water inflow. Along the Svitava River there is a sidewalk with street alleyways and access to the river.
