Community housing in Brno-Komín
Starý, Tadeáš ; Pekár, Pavel (referee) ; Novák, Antonín (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis is an architectural study of a multifunctional building with predominant residential functions. The project builds on an urban study developed within the course NGA056 – Specialized Studio (ArA). The urban design consists of a complex of three multifunctional buildings, which emphasize not only suitable living conditions for community residents but also the feasibility of construction. The buildings, through their volumetric deformation, form two funnels allowing greenery to pass from Palacký Hill through the addressed area further into the existing panel housing development. Along Řezáčova Street, the existing garage facilities, which form an unsightly and neglected barrier in the area, are removed. In their place, a parking garage is created to replace the existing parking spaces and provide new ones for the residents of the complex and the housing estate. This step allows for the creation of public spaces instead of the existing parking areas between the panel buildings. In the architectural design, I work with the baugruppe construction principle, which allows individuals to collectively build and own apartments or houses. Participants share the construction costs, which can bring savings compared to traditional construction methods. Baugruppe projects include shared spaces and amenities accessible to all group members. The addressed buildings are four-story, partially basement, gallery-access houses oriented north-south. The staggered mass of the building is divided into three symmetrical parts and then supplemented with wedges to balance the building's stagger. Part of the ground floor is used for community or commercial spaces and partly for residential units with front gardens. The upper floors contain residential units. The side sections offer a combination of 4-room, 2-room, or 1-room apartments, while the central section offers 2-room apartments or four 1-room apartments. The configurations in these sections can be interchanged as needed. The architectural expression of the buildings is primarily provided by the distinctive horizontal lines of terraces/galleries with movable shading panels that encircle the entire building.
