Architectural study of the sacred building and the Salesian community center in Brno - Líšeň
Chubrikov, Vadim ; Marek, Jiří (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The diploma thesis focuses on the design of a new sacral building in Brno-Líšeň, located among a panel housing estate between the polyclinic building and the Salesian Youth Center. The Salesian community, who will be the primary users of the building, has been anticipating its realization for many years. The main goal is to create spaces that facilitate worship services, celebrations, and social gatherings. The design consists of two separate structures: the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit (with a bell tower and a Sunday school, which forms a smaller mass of the main building), and another building that is a secondary mass connected to the church by a wooden shelter and divided into two parts – a community center and a parish. The bell tower will be the highest element; the church has two above-ground and one underground floors, while the community center will have one above-ground. The project also takes into account the open spaces around the site, aiming to transform them into high-quality public areas. The sacred space should serve as a welcoming place that provides visitors with a sense of safety, tranquility, support, and understanding. It should be a place where people leave feeling better than when they arrived.

Architectural study of a stadium for track cycling - TJ FAVORIT Brno
Macíková, Želmíra ; Vostrejž, Dušan (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The main topic of the master’s thesis is an architectural study of the velodrome in Brno, the Czech Republic. Nowadays, the existing stadium includes probably the oldest cycling track which is still in use in the whole Europe. Design deals with updating the old velodrome to current Olympic parametres and standards. The goal is to create a suitable, functional, and aesthetic space for athletes and passers-by and also to draw attention to cycling club TJ Favorit Brno, which has over 100-years tradition in the city. The new design keeps the existing 400-metre-long cycling track with its unique roof done by prof. arch. Lederer. Roof is extended above the track and the tribune, which forms the “genius loci“ of the Brno velodrome. A 250-metre-long track meeting the Olympic standards will be placed inside the longer track. Inside of it, there is space for various collective ball sports pitches. In the large oval, there is a multifunctional area, e.g., for a built track for bicross. The runways are at different height levels and are connected to the surrounding buildings. The main idea of the project is to cover the oval without pillars inside, thus keeping its genius loci. The structure of the roof above the main space is made of steel cables joining 3D steel structure above both the existing and new buildings near the straight parts of the track. Near the rounded parts of the track, the ropes are anchored into reinforced concrete walls. The supporting structure for membrane roof covering is made of carbon, which has excellent technical properties; due to its low weight, it is also used for the production of bicycles. The current building of the gymnasium and the main building of the TJ Favorit Brno cycling club, where there is a track cycling facility, will be preserved. They will be followed by outbuildings with facilities for the public, cycling athletes, a café, service, rental and shop, administration and technology spaces. In front of the main entrance, there is a public space with greenery and a water feature welcoming passers-by. Designed buildings surround the current stadium on three sides. Buildings mostly have two storeys.

Architectural study of the sacred building and the Salesian community center in Brno - Líšeň
Zinnatshina, Diana ; Marek, Jiří (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The task of the diploma thesis is the design of the sacral building of Salesians and community center in Brno – Líšeň. The founder of the Salesian order is the Italian priest John Bosco. The Salesian style stands on three pillars: reason, religion and kindness. It is a style of educational work, based on a preventive system and constant assistance. The Salesian congregation and subsequently the entire complex of the center in the urban district Brno-Líšeň received help from the foundation fund for youth, which he started in 1998 its construction. The proposed facility should cover the remaining needs of visitors and should be accessible to the general public. As a result, an architectural design was created, which includes an object of church with a parish section and a community center. The sacral object consists of a dominant glass cube standing on a one-storey long base and a community centre building with parish housing. At the centre of the composition is a parish garden with a steel bell tower. The whole complex consists of two masses connected by a steel colonnade. The first main mass includes a church with a back yard. The second mass of the complex is the community centre with the main coworking space and the parish priest's accommodation.

Proposal for a redesign of the exoterium of ZOO Brno
Kalábková, Tereza ; Boháč, Ivo (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis focuses on the redesign of Exoteria in the Brno Zoo, where the current structure is outdated and aesthetically unpleasing, barely meeting the needs of birds and lacking the necessary attractiveness for a facility of this kind. The goal of the thesis is to propose an innovative and functional solution in the form of four functional units: a bird pavilion, an aquarium pavilion, facilities for staff, and a refreshment facility. The architectural design combines an ecological approach with the concept of open architecture, aiming to connect visitors with nature and animals. It offers an open space in the outdoor aviary of the bird pavilion and features a green element with a vegetative façade for the refreshment facility. The aquarium pavilion is envisioned as a multifunctional center for meetings and education, allowing for lectures, film screenings, and other cultural events that connect visitors with the underwater world. The thesis delves into the details of the aquarium pavilion and the refreshment facility. The proposal involves the removal of overgrown vegetation and trees, with a priority on minimizing impacts on the natural environment. Simultaneously, the thesis suggests replanting new trees to preserve ecological balance. The work is based on the architectural design studio in the fourth year, with a focus on interior design.

Exotarium
Přítulová, Anna ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The topic of the bachelor thesis is the Exotárium pavilion in the Brno ZOO, which supposed to replace the existing building, which no longer meets the spatial, hygienic or technical requirements. The building is located in the center of the ZOO area at the intersection of several visitor routes. Conceptually, the design is divided into two buildings – the tropics pavilion dedicated to Papua New Guinea and pavilion of inland Australia. These two buildings are connected on the underground level by a technical floor. Areas for animals are adapted for the breeding of exotic birds, small mammals and fish. The pavilion is divided longitudinally into three tracts – technical and hygienic facilities, corridors for visitors and indoor aviaries. The building is equipped both for the preparation of feed and the care of animal health, as well as for the rearing of young. In the center of the layout is the central space for visitors and the Water world. The extended area of the corridor is equipped with furniture and presentation equipment, which can also be used for lectures and events for schools. The dominant element of the space for visitors is the acoustic ceiling consisting of prisms of different lengths of green wood wool. This ceiling is intended to create the impression of a canopy of a tropical forest. The curved wall between the aviaries and the corridor is intended to offer unconventional views into the aviaries, but still provide the animals with sufficient privacy. The building is serviced through a staff entrance on the south-east side of the building and the technical facilities are accessible via an unpaved road on the underground level from the south-west slope below the Australia pavilion building. This route is only used to transport the technological equipment of the building. The building, with its predominantly gray and contrasting interior, corresponds with the Australia pavilion, where more earthy colors are used. The buildings are united mainly by the facade and are connected by the construction of through external aviaries.

New exotarium at ZOO Brno
Charvátová, Karolína ; Boháč, Ivo (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is the preparation of project documentation for construction permits and part of the documentation for the implementation of the construction on the basis of the assignment, which was provided in the course BGA036 - Architectural Design Studio 5 in the summer semester Year 3 on the topic of interior design, which was later extended to public buildings. The topic of the study is the design of a new exotarium at the Brno Zoo. The plot of land in question is located on the territory of the Brno Zoo in the South Moravian Region. The concept of the architectural design was to create modern and hygienic spaces for a dignified life of animals in captivity and at the same time to allow visitors to have a glimpse into animal life and behaviour. It is a two-storey, partly basemented building with an open interior space that is divided into two main sections - aquatic life and air life. The basic idea of the project is to provide enough space for animal life in the pavilion, and therefore a large dome-shaped aviary is created for the birds, extending over the entire roof of the building. For fish, large aquariums are created. There is also a lecture room, staff facilities and thermal engineering facilities in the building. All functions of the building have their necessary facilities.

Exotarium ZOO Brno
Kučera, Jiljí ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The topic of the bachelor thesis is the design of a pavilion for the Australia - New Guinea exhibition in Brno Zoo. The building serves mainly as an exposition and home for exotic species of birds, small mammals and fish. The building should meet all the conditions of buildings for the public, working conditions for employees and animal welfare. The area under consideration is located in the premises of the Brno Zoo, in the northern part of the district of Bystrc. The construction site is located roughly in the middle of the zoo at the crossroads between the Tropical Pavilion and the African Village. The relatively sloping, irregular plot is accessible from the north and east sides by a campus road. The kangaroo enclosure is directly adjacent to the west side, while the bison and camel enclosures are located to the north, across the road. The resulting design consists of a two-storey building that follows the contour line of the site. It is a building composed of two regular masses of rectangular plan. The upper smaller mass is superimposed on the lower larger mass. The pavilion includes indoor and outdoor aviaries, terrariums, aquariums, staff facilities, animal facilities and food preparation. The facade of the Exotarium imitates the red rock typical of Australia. It is made up of an ETICS system to which a moulded polystyrene layer and a painted surface will be added. An extensive green roof with aviaries is proposed on the main building. The design includes a small plaza to provide shade for visitors. Two buildings are proposed within the square - refreshments and public toilets. The bachelor thesis is based on documents in the form of assignment, dwg drawing of the cadastral situation and architectural study from the course BGA036 - Architectural Atelier 5.

The aim of this bachelor thesis is the building modifications of a secondary school for handicapped students in Brno, in the city district of Lesná. The existing building is inadequate for the needs of students with disabilities, therefore only the existing supporting structure of the building (columns, ceiling above 1NP, foundation structures) will remain, the perimeter walls and roof will be replaced by newly designed structures that meet the current thermal requirements. The building consists of two parts – a two-storey former nursery building (designated as Building A) with a single-storey glazed extension with atrium and a two-storey heat exchanger building (Building B), of which only 2NP is used for school purposes. The school and heat exchanger buildings are connected by a newly designed link across the width of the secondary school building, replacing the existing neck. A new material-contrasting glass staircase extension with a lift is proposed on the north side of Building A to allow wheelchair access to the building from Vaculíkova Street. In addition, a steel structure escape staircase extension with lift is proposed on the east side with a metal trellis with climbing plants. A reinforced concrete structure of the entrance ramp with a terrace for students' meeting is added to Building B from the north side (from Vaculíkova Street). On the south side, a pre-set steel terrace with a trellis for climbing plants has been added, which serves as a shade during the summer months. The school building is functionally divided into a student accommodation part located on the 2NP in the eastern part, a teaching part (classrooms and teachers' offices) on the 1NP of the A building and the 2NP of the exchanger, an operationally separated administrative part (offices, boardroom, headmaster's office, secretariat) accessible from the street by a ramp. In the western part of the 1NP there are technical facilities of the building - janitorial, kitchen, training kitchen and food stores, the facilities are accessible by a separate supply entrance accessible via the existing road leading from the south. The design emphasizes the pleasant, comfortable and safe stay and movement of students not only during classes but also during breaks.

Workers‘ Housing of 21st Century
Ordeltová, Kristýna ; Šindlar, Jiljí (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of small-scale urban housing in a 21st century context. However, the aim was not to forget the industrial heritage of mining and metallurgical Ostrava. Most of this heritage includes a few buildings such as huge halls or mining towers, but small houses and dwellings at the other end of the scale are undoubtedly a true reflection of the period. Just as miners and metallurgists lived beneath the towers and chimneys of factories at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, I have also chosen a location for my dwelling in this work. The Petr Bezruč mine has been partially reclaimed and awaits its future use. I propose a residential district of 9 buildings offering different typologies and standards. It includes a complex urban design of outdoor spaces, their use and degree of privacy. The central motif of the proposal is also the „sokolovna“ - a reconversion of the workshop hall, which will serve as a leisure space for local residents. An industrial nature trail also runs through the area, helping to integrate the island below the mining tower into the context of the town.

Family Winery in the Moravian Countryside
Adamcová, Kateřina ; Šindlar, Jiljí (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The subject of the thesis is the design of a small family winery in the Moravian countryside. The chosen location is the heart of the South Moravia wine region and offers attractive views of the Pavlov Hills. The work is loosely related to the pre-diploma project, which aimed to map and evaluate the current situation of wine houses/cellars in the village of Strachotín, which lies on the border of the Nové Mlýny dam. The development of tourism and the modernisation of buildings has had the most noticeable impact on the historic cellar buildings, which have gradually disappeared or are being rebuilt for recreational purposes. The diploma project is situated outside the nowadays "fragmented wine alley" and presents a possible proposal for a new architectural form in the landscape, right among the vineyards.
