Old - new urban spa
Černeyová, Natália ; Kotásek, Michal (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The object of the town's spa is currently abandoned without use, in a pitiful state. As a monument registered in the central list, it is a testimony to the modern architecture of the 20th century and is among the most famous works of the prominent architect Bohuslav Fuchs. It was built in 1930 as the winning design in the competition for new city baths. After its opening, the inhabitants of Zábrdovice and others enjoyed a pleasant and clean environment for relaxation and balneology, at a time when the backyard households were rather rarity and the prize of richer layers. For Zábrdovice as the marginal industrial part of Brno, full of robot dwellings, the Fuchs Bath facility was an attractive opportunity for rest and recreation. The operation consists of two parts - summer baths with outdoor swimming pools and facilities in the eastern wing of the building and winter baths with saunas and small pools, which in their disposition unit offered bath-room areas accessible from the central corridor. For today's society, the importance of such a city-spa operation has disappeared and the inhabitants are rather relaxed in extensive spa complexes, saunas, and so on. The main objective of the proposal is to restore the whole area and to create an attractive environment that will correspond to the current running of the city and the needs of its inhabitants, while maintaining the function of the summer spa, which still serves to revitalize it. The new use of city spas primarily builds on the original purpose of the building and also respects the needs of the city and Zábrdovice. At the present time, there is a considerable lack of opportunities for sports, recreation and cultural activities.

The most prominent point of the project is the design of a covered swimming pool, which corresponds to the current needs of the city and at the same time creates space for the operation of the winter baths, which is thus moved from the main building and no longer bothers the building. The new building of the swimming pool composes the construction of the complex, smoothly and not disturbing it. Its construction system is based on existing structural axes, as well as the division of facades and interior dispositions. The mass and shape of the new building respects the original functionalist architecture, but it also adds to the fresh modern touch. The aim is to aesthetically make a stay in the area aesthetically pleasing. Likewise, the material solution strives to create a fine contrast between old and new on the one hand and material harmony of the entire architectural composition on the other.

REVITALIZATION OF THE FORMER INDUSTRIAL AREA IN PRAGUE, VYSOČANY
Černeyová, Natália ; Zemánek, Václav (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The topic of the diploma’s thesis is a proposal of revitalization of the former industrial area in Prague, Vysočany. The neighborhood that was in the past in the suburbs of Prague near the railway is now barely used or not used for the benefit of the city district and its users. The proposal is based on creating an active environment that would correspond to the modern running of the city and serve the needs of its inhabitants. The urban-architectural study respects the current trends of the locality and ongoing development projects, which will significantly influence the appearance and functioning of Vysočany district. In particular, the given locality is characterized by the lack of urban life, as it is mainly the industrial district, as well as the center itself, which would correspond to a major urban district. An important part of the whole concept was the intervention of the area with the new city boulevard Kolbenova. The aim of the thesis is a proposal that would be based on the needs of Prague as a metropolitan city, therefore the proposal respects the currently discussed Metropolitan Plan, which allows high-rise development in the given locality. The study seeks to create sufficient housing capacity and opportunities that represent the potential for the entire city district and can respond to the demand of the population for quality living in the city according to current standards relating to the capital city of Prague.
