První vlaštovka: Model of community-based, solidarity housing through the perspective of commons
Malá, Andrea ; Novotná, Hedvika (advisor) ; Čada, Karel (referee)
In this master's thesis, the aim was to present a new model of community-based and solidarity housing using the example of the social cooperative První vlaštovka, which practices this housing model as the first in the Czech Republic. Data necessary for this purpose were obtained through qualitative research primarily based on semi-structured interviews. These interviews were conducted with individual members of the aforementioned cooperative. The interviews were supplemented by participant observation and data from sources independent of the research. The thesis focuses several aspects of the model. It introduces the basic principles on which the entire model is based. Furthermore, it examines how individual actors perceive the topic of housing, how they organize their work for the cooperative, and what rules they have established for this purpose. Subsequently, it presents how the cooperative interacts with its surroundings and explores the possibilities, limitations, and implementation of the model's (re)production. The theoretical framework of commons was chosen for interpreting the obtained data. It was perceived here as a certain perspective through which various things can be viewed as shared. In this work, it served to contextualize specific data within broader conceptual frameworks....

Community housing in Brno-Komín
Špačková, Adéla ; Pekár, Pavel (referee) ; Novák, Antonín (advisor)
The subject of this master's thesis is the architectural project of community housing in the spirit of baugruppe. The project builds upon the work from the previous semester, which focused on the urban solution of the given location. The site is located on Řezáčova Street in the northeastern part of the municipal district Brno-Komín, situated in the northwest of the statutory city of Brno. It is a former area of gardens, which is currently falling into disrepair. The area is designated as a building reserve with a predominant residential function. The new residential complex provides quality housing, work opportunities, and the possibility of leisure activities. The construction of a new access road and the revitalization of deteriorating surrounding areas, where a pleasant park and playgrounds will be created. The main concept is to create a new form of housing in the form of four structures. The buildings are situated on a grid of 6x6 meters, precisely placed irregularly on the site with gradually added or subtracted masses. This creates regular corners for the main entrances to individual buildings, terraces with pergolas, gardens, or space for wild vegetation. The masses decrease gradually towards the southern slope, enhancing the natural sunlight penetration into less illuminated residential units. The development is divided into northern and southern blocks, each with an individual courtyard for the residents of the respective buildings. At the heart of these two blocks, a small square with an active ground floor serving for social events (markets, outdoor cinema, Christmas tree, theater, concerts, etc.) and gatherings of residents and passersby is created. The designed building consists of five mutually shifted volumes with a flat roof and a setback top floor with rooftop terraces. It is four stories tall. The first underground floor contains garages, cellars, and technical facilities, the first above-ground floor has a mixed function (residential, community, and public spaces), and the second, third, and fourth floors are residential. The building comprises a total of 26 residential units of various layouts, from 1+kk to 4+kk. The basic dominant feature of the entire visual style of the building is a regular grid, which divides the building into horizontal and vertical units, giving the facade a regular order. These protruding elements at column and beam locations are clad with massive wooden panels oriented along the longitudinal axis of the respective structural element. 3 Conversely, recessed infills are composed of vertical wooden slats, window openings, or terraces with planted climbing vegetation. Special emphasis is placed on the harmonious relationship with the surrounding natural environment in the design of the apartment building. This synergy is achieved through a series of architectural elements that respect the natural context while cultivating the relationship between the building and nature. Green roofs, planters with climbing vegetation on facades, and the courtyard space reflecting the green environment represent key strategies that support this integration. Green roofs, besides their aesthetic value, function as biodiversity zones, providing habitat for local fauna and flora. Planters with climbing greenery on facades contribute to the bioclimatic properties of the building, regulating temperature and reducing energy consumption, while also accentuating the organic character of the space.

Community housing in Brno-Komín
Raková, Markéta ; Pekár, Pavel (referee) ; Novák, Antonín (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis was the design of a multifunctional building within the framework of community housing, located in the area of former gardens along Řezáčova Street in the urban district of Brno-Komín, at the intersection between the existing urban structure of the original panel housing estate and open countryside. The enclosed area currently forms a barrier between the cycling and walking route under Palacký Hill and the existing development. This presents an opportunity to open up and make this area more accessible to people. Overall, there are five residential buildings proposed in the area, each consisting of five above-ground floors, with the top floor being setback with vegetated roofs and terraces. The semi-open composition of the buildings responds to the existing urban structure and the panel housing development. It creates a space accessible not only to community residents but also to the public. The design of the multifunctional building is based on key principles such as Baugruppe construction, sustainability, prefabrication, and the associated speed of construction and variability of proposed interior spaces. It also emphasizes creating a place that fosters interaction among community residents. Furthermore, the aim is to work with wood as a significant element for reducing CO2 emissions and to influence the architect's and builder's attitude towards this material in terms of fire and environmental considerations. For these reasons, the building is designed as a hybrid timber and concrete structure. This system allows for fast, flexible, and cost-effective construction and an efficient combination of the properties of individual materials. The communication system of the building is designed as a gallery, offering additional meeting opportunities for residents for the purpose of community living. Operationally, the building is designed as a multifunctional structure with a predominant residential function. Common areas in the ground floor of the building are available for community residents in the form of co-working spaces, a café, and community workshops. The last setback fifth floor is also dedicated to the building's users, featuring wellness areas and an apartment for accommodating potential visitors of the residents. Users also have access to other shared spaces such as a bicycle room, stroller storage, and laundry room.

Community housing in Brno-Komín
Streďanská, Lucie ; Pekár, Pavel (referee) ; Novák, Antonín (advisor)
The subject of the master's thesis is the development of a proposal for a multi-functional building as a part of a new community housing complex in Brno-Komín near Řezáčova Street. The proposed area is situated between the existing panel houses of the original housing estate and open countryside in a relatively sloping terrain. The current condition of the site is neglected. There is a large amount of air raid greenery, and the entire area is impermeable. The goal of the proposal is not only to make the area accessible across the board, but also to design a varied residential environment for new and existing residents. This primarily involves differentiating individual spaces and proposing a wider range of activities in contrast to the original 'monofunctionality' of the existing housing estate. The design of a specific house in this diploma thesis follows the urban design concept, transportation design, greenery, rainwater management, and microclimate solutions outlined in the urban study from the previous semester.

Mix/Match Brno
Hrubá, Kateřina ; Rozwalka, Szymon (referee) ; Toman, Radek (advisor)
How to solve housing of "people in the move"? While someone needs a place to live only for a short time - e.g. guest workers, for someone temporary housing can represent a longer period of time - just immigrated professionals, foreigners who are looking for permanent housing, young people who need time to save up, find a job, clarify where and how they actually want to live. The site is located in the wider center of the city of Brno, in a street gap on Hlinky Street. The project aims to create a space that will provide a more or less temporary home and at the same time support social interactions - both inside the building between individual tenants and in the urban environment.

Mix/Match Brno
Elbel, Markéta Marie ; Havliš, Karel (referee) ; Toman, Radek (advisor)
The Open! project works with the context of a gap on Hlinky Street near the centre of Brno City. A gap that is narrow and neglected, but also waiting to be filled, to connect its neighbours, to complete the street line. The aim of the work is not only to effectively fill the space in the form of a residential building, but also to remember that the gap is an opening between two worlds: a lively and busy street and a quiet, green garden on the other side of the plot. The combination of full volumes and open spaces creates the opportunity to peer over the edge - to follow the sunlight and distant chirping of birds, and to search for fragments of a grown tree in between. The project also takes its name, Open!, to the scale of the interior, with individual apartments designed with varying degrees of sharing and number of inhabitants. The combination of retractable wooden partitions allows the degree of privacy and atmosphere in the space to be modified. In terms of interpersonal relationships between the occupants, the work uses principles of communal living, giving people the opportunity to take roots in the space as well as use it on a short-term basis, which is particularly ideal for young professionals, students or the elderly.

Baugruppe in Rosice u Brna
Demjanovičová, Michaela ; Navrátil, Václav (referee) ; Suchánek, Radek (advisor)
Nowadays, it is essential to find ways to integrate the old urban fabric into the contemporary city and to fight against the emergence of mono-functional zones in small towns like Rosice. In addition to the large cities, smaller communities within commuting distance are also struggling with a process of densification that has for the most part been solved by exporting dense patterns from cities or building typologies that do not always fit these suburban conditions. Often, it is precisely by improperly intervening and simply copying dense urban models that the distinctive identity of a place is lost, and this intervention is not adequate to the complex context of these suburban areas with their seemingly disordered heterogeneous landscapes. By exploring alternative forms of housing, different and new forms can emerge, which can promote precisely diversity and new approaches, while at the same time leading to the integration of this heterogeneous urban landscape and combating the diagnoses of postmodern society.

TOWN HOUSE IN A COMPACT CITY, OLD BRNO
Ordeltová, Kristýna ; Todorov, Petr (referee) ; Kiszka, Josef (advisor)
This work deals with the design of an urban polyfunctional house in the context of living in the 21st century. Emphasis is placed on an alternative form of cohousing and shared living (coliving), but a high level of privacy and independence is maintained. The building is designed as a multifunctional house with a predominant community content such as a library or coworking offices. The phenomenon of living in an apartment building is enriched with additional functions, and living in the city is thus raised to a higher level. At the same time, the bachelor‘s thesis builds on previous findings from my studio work and concretizes the form of urban design and connections in the entire block of Leitnerova-Hybešova.

Compact Forms of Housing
Májek, Jan ; Koutný, Jan (referee) ; Rudiš, Viktor (referee) ; Budkeová, Branislava (referee) ; Glosová, Dagmar (advisor)
"The compact forms of housing" is a term with which the Czech interior design yet do not often occur. This concept densely built low-rise residential files yet carries a strong potential not only in matters of mere living, but also offers one of the progressive alternative ways of living environment in general. Examined form of residential buildings is becoming increasingly important especially in specific situations where conventional housing is failing and instead generates other social problems. This thesis is primarily seeking the maximum extent available to document the issue of a compact housing, describe its basic form and point out the historical roots of this typology. The acquired knowledge was then subjected to an in-depth analysis, the output of which is to be the most comprehensive characterization researched the topic and its inclusion in the context of the standard forms of housing. The result is a set of research information, assumptions and typological bases that determine the primary urban, architectural, or social limits of the residential category. This work attempts to take into account the specified topic in the broader context of housing as a basic human need. As a result of findings would be its contribution to the culture scene in our home and create a theoretical material that would become an essential information base for creating compact residential files. The conclusions of this research can be further developed, tested and refined in the educational process at the faculties of architecture or in the practice. The results of research could stimulate interest in this type of housing and contribute to the enrichment of Czech housing scene of a synthetic form, which will form the connecting link between the typological family house and an apartment building. Low-rise housing complexes with a high population density can also create an effective counterbalance to the typical suburban development of part-time family home and offer method, respectively one of the alternative ways to be with this dilapidated urban housing estate deal.
