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.

Center for seniors in Brno-Medlánky
Drápela, Jan ; Klimecký, Martin (referee) ; Gerö, Jiří (advisor)
The architectural study of the senior center in Brno-Medlánky builds upon the territorial study carried out in the previous semester as part of the subject NGA056 - Specialized Studio (ArA). The result of the territorial study was a proposal for a compact development that combines all the needs of the area, from housing, through public amenities, a church, transportation connections with a tram loop, sports hall, park, to a senior center. Within the architectural study, a project was developed to create a comprehensive senior center that meets current standards. The center offers a wide range of services and facilities, quality common areas, as well as privacy in individual rooms and corresponding adjacent outdoor spaces. The design of the center is based on compactness and linearity. The center consists of two main volumes, with the larger one oriented parallel to the adjacent road. The second volume is perpendicular to it and they are connected by a communication block. In the front part facing the main road, a smaller entrance courtyard is created oriented to the west, while on the eastern side there is a larger space with a park. This area is bordered by the center's buildings on two sides, as well as adjacent residential buildings and greenery separating it from existing development, offering a peaceful space for seniors. Both volumes are located above an underground parking lot, which also extends under the entrance area. The individual buildings are then divided according to the services provided and the type of care. The ground floor offers a variety of services, a café, and the main entrance to the building, creating an active meeting place for clients and the public. The center aims to create dignified contemporary spaces for clients' stay and their integration into the surroundings, providing them with a pleasant atmosphere and a sense of belonging to their new home.

Center for seniors in Brno-Medlánky
Otépka, Petr ; Klimecký, Martin (referee) ; Gerö, Jiří (advisor)
The architectural study for the elderly home follows on the urban-architectural study conducted in the previous semester as a part of the NGA056 – Specialised Studio course. The study resulted in a compact urban development with mix of functions. It includes not only housing, commerce, public buildings, the church, the sport hall and transport facilities, but also a block of centre for elderly. The architectural study is focused on creating a complex centre with good supply of services, amenities, privacy and, most importantly, quality spaces. The design is based on the concept of compactness. All pavilions which are full of spatial and operational requirements form a block and inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is situated above the underground parking, and it is adjacent to a park, connected to it by a ‘neck’. The park opens to the southwest and its borders are defined by the centre on the east and apartment building for elderly on north side. On the side which faces the centre of the new district, the block turns on its ground floor, accommodating a café, entrances and other services. It facilitates connection with the community, together with park on the opposite side. The proposal presents a contemporary perspective on housing for the elderly in our society. The spaces try to have their own identity, with which residents or clients can identify and accept a room or apartment as their home, rather than just a final stop on their life’s journey.

Townhouse
Palata, Jiří ; Dokoupilová Pazderková, Kateřina (referee) ; Ležatka, Lukáš (advisor)
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.

Návrh revitalizace brownfieldu - případová studie
Osinová, Kristýna
At present, there is an increasing interest in the monitoring and revitalization of brownfields, problematic areas resulting from economic, social, and industrial changes. The city of Brno, a leader in this field, has many brownfields due to its industrial history. Up to now, less attention has been paid to the brownfield known as Area by Rokytova Street (Území při ulici Rokytova), which is situated in a complicated position at the intersection of urban districts, transportation structures, with a complex terrain and potential historical contamination. This study focuses on preparing a case study to propose revitalization measures for this brownfield. The research was based on the field survey method that included a personal examination of the area and discussions with stakeholders. The discussions were conducted in the form of semi-standardized interviews consisting of ten questions. Finally, a SWOT analysis was also conducted. Main results of this study are a collection of interviews and a synthesis of the obtained information, an analysis of the current state of the area using the SWOT analysis and the final proposal of revitalization measures. According to the analysis, the studied brownfield has great potential for urban green development, however it is threatened by unclear property relations. The most important proposed measures are the establishment of a cemetery park and the inclusion of elements of blue and green Infrastructure. The results of this research may increase awareness of the area in the near future and potentially serve the authorities as a basis for an official revitalization proposal.
