Revitalization Program of Floral Garden in Kromeriz
Koželouhová, Anna ; Vojtová, Lea (referee) ; Hrabec, Josef (advisor)
The topic of the bachelor thesis is the design of the revitalization of the foreground of the Květná garden in Kroměříž and of the service building for visitors. When solving the project, the first ideas were initiated by its strong social context. The garden art has always been a reflection of its own period. The founders of gardens – the aristocracy, monarchs or clergy – have used gardens as a means to represent their social status. They have tried to point out the things that have been conceived as artistically and technically (and later socially) progressive and correct. The main ideal concept of my project results from these facts and considerations. I seek to represent today’s era and society – within the meaning of the good, what they could and according to my opinion should bring to each other. And what they perhaps do… That is why I apply knowledge of today’s technique and ecology in my project – in terms of the use of local natural materials and renewable energy resources. At the same time I try to take advantage of and to give support to the frankness of today’s society and to create a project with a social and human overlap. I incorporate a function of a temporary sheltered housing into the area and support integration of people into the society through garden works and therapies. Last but not least – I would like to open the gardens to the broadest scope of the laic public and to create not only an esthetic function, but an educational as well. From the architectural point of view, I tried to bring contemporary components into the garden, which, however, respect the historical evolution and the temporary situation and connect to them. In the Holandská garden I placed the visitors centre into the ground plan – a path of the former “casino”. It closes up this lengthwise space, it creates a notion of continuance of the colonnade of the Květná garden (and transcription of the arcade on its façade), and it balances the dimension of the tropical glasshouse on the other side of the garden. Regarding the solution of the garden space, I respect the cross axes of the Květná garden as well as the main longitudinal axe of the foreground. I create a simple composition of larger sheets with two new “piazzas” – at the place of the renewed Neptune’s fountain and in front of the visitor’s center. By creating the elevated sheets I add the third dimension to the parcel. In the southern part of the foreground I compose functionally different spaces along the longitudinal axe. Hence, visitor’s attention is non-violently drawn to the aviary. Crosswise, the garden is divided into several parts – the representational one (by the cold glasshouse), the agricultural and educational one (but no less attractive) with the garden centre, and the leisure area of the aviary and the so called “rabbit hill”.

Housing and residentail construction sustainability. Sustainability principles applicable in the segment of subsidized housing in the Czech Republic
Koželouhová, Anna ; Koutný, Jan (referee) ; Bacová, Andrea (referee) ; Oplatek, Jiří (referee) ; Glosová, Dagmar (advisor)
The doctoral thesis focuses on the topic of social housing and its sustainability. It explores its general principles, but also reacts to this fields latest developments in order to find a suitable model to be applicable in the Czech Republic, especially in the city of Brno. The first part of the thesis provides an overview of the current state of the issues on both Czech and European level, followed by detailed exploration of these fields in the cities of Brno and Vienna. Analytical evaluation confirms the relevance and appropriateness of the Viennese case study. The presented research is focused particularly on the sector municipal or subsidized rental housing for both cities. It examines the possibilities of Viennese principles application in Brno so that at least a part of the city's housing fund could be used as social housing accordingly to currently prepared Czech legislation. At the conclusion of this work recommendations for the city of Brno are formulated, useful in the preparation of its new social housing policy. This research, touching currently quite fundamental social issues, can be also beneficial in other areas. In the academic environment of architecture, urban planning, economics or sociology studies, for these fields experts or for the general public to facilitate the orientation on the housing market.

WHAT TO DO? Conversion of industrial premises, Brno - Obřany
Koželouhová, Anna ; Rudiš, Viktor (referee) ; Oplatek, Jiří (advisor)
The topic of the graduation thesis is the revitalization of the former textile manufacturing complex in the quarter Maloměřice and Obřany of the city of Brno and conversion of its main building, spinning mill, to the school of architecture. Urban design concept is based on several ideas. I tried to involve the complex into the life and urban structure of this part of Brno and to create a possible new center. I also tried to recognize the values and qualities of the area as a whole and of its individual components. I created zones, characterized by different interactions with the neighborhood. By the entrance into the area I place an object called “gate”, which should draw the attention of passers-by. It clearly guides to enter the island and later the school building. The central part of the island is cleaned from the later extensions and a new foreground of entry to school is formed there. This zone, which continues to the north over the old mill-race between the neighboring buildings, is public, communicates, but is clearly defined and has its own inner life. Third, semi-private area is a residential waterfront of the mill-race with the existing balcony-access house and a new housing for students. The fourth area is a public park, detached from the school entrance courtyard by the block of trees and connected to the village by a new foot bridge. The architectural design of the spinning-mill conversion is based on the concept of inserting new objects into existing autonomous structure of the house. The purity of the building and support structures is preserved. Through the insulation of the inserted objects the thermal comfort is achieved. In the building I leave free space, which is cut through all floors throughout the four chimneys of the stairs, sanitary facilities and installations. Into the individual fields of the concrete-frame construction I put rectangular boxes of different functions - classrooms, studios and offices. These are connected with the chimneys via electrical and ventilation lines. The existing building façade remains unchanged, it defines the internal space, it is a connecting element, rather than separating.

The housing policy conception of the City of Vienna
Koželouhová, Anna
Municipal housing in Vienna has a long tradition and its history, development and current status serves as a good example for many capitals worldwide. However, this is not only about quality architecture and urbanism; exemplary is mainly Viennese housing policy, sophisticated legislation, marketing and communication with public.

Sustainability of Housing and Housing Development
Koželouhová, Anna
The paper focuses on sustainable housing development (physical structures) and sustainable housing (the activities and social ties related to living in buildings). Although developed societies perceive help in ensuring decent housing as their obvious duty, there are currently up to 3 million people in Europe alone who lack such housing. The offer of quality affordable housing is still insufficient.
