Community housing in Brno-Komín
Špačková, Adéla ; Pekár, Pavel (referee) ; Novák, Antonín (advisor)
The subject of this master's thesis is the architectural project of community housing in the spirit of baugruppe. The project builds upon the work from the previous semester, which focused on the urban solution of the given location. The site is located on Řezáčova Street in the northeastern part of the municipal district Brno-Komín, situated in the northwest of the statutory city of Brno. It is a former area of gardens, which is currently falling into disrepair. The area is designated as a building reserve with a predominant residential function. The new residential complex provides quality housing, work opportunities, and the possibility of leisure activities. The construction of a new access road and the revitalization of deteriorating surrounding areas, where a pleasant park and playgrounds will be created. The main concept is to create a new form of housing in the form of four structures. The buildings are situated on a grid of 6x6 meters, precisely placed irregularly on the site with gradually added or subtracted masses. This creates regular corners for the main entrances to individual buildings, terraces with pergolas, gardens, or space for wild vegetation. The masses decrease gradually towards the southern slope, enhancing the natural sunlight penetration into less illuminated residential units. The development is divided into northern and southern blocks, each with an individual courtyard for the residents of the respective buildings. At the heart of these two blocks, a small square with an active ground floor serving for social events (markets, outdoor cinema, Christmas tree, theater, concerts, etc.) and gatherings of residents and passersby is created. The designed building consists of five mutually shifted volumes with a flat roof and a setback top floor with rooftop terraces. It is four stories tall. The first underground floor contains garages, cellars, and technical facilities, the first above-ground floor has a mixed function (residential, community, and public spaces), and the second, third, and fourth floors are residential. The building comprises a total of 26 residential units of various layouts, from 1+kk to 4+kk. The basic dominant feature of the entire visual style of the building is a regular grid, which divides the building into horizontal and vertical units, giving the facade a regular order. These protruding elements at column and beam locations are clad with massive wooden panels oriented along the longitudinal axis of the respective structural element. 3 Conversely, recessed infills are composed of vertical wooden slats, window openings, or terraces with planted climbing vegetation. Special emphasis is placed on the harmonious relationship with the surrounding natural environment in the design of the apartment building. This synergy is achieved through a series of architectural elements that respect the natural context while cultivating the relationship between the building and nature. Green roofs, planters with climbing vegetation on facades, and the courtyard space reflecting the green environment represent key strategies that support this integration. Green roofs, besides their aesthetic value, function as biodiversity zones, providing habitat for local fauna and flora. Planters with climbing greenery on facades contribute to the bioclimatic properties of the building, regulating temperature and reducing energy consumption, while also accentuating the organic character of the space.

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.

Community housing in Brno-Komín
Raková, Markéta ; Pekár, Pavel (referee) ; Novák, Antonín (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis was the design of a multifunctional building within the framework of community housing, located in the area of former gardens along Řezáčova Street in the urban district of Brno-Komín, at the intersection between the existing urban structure of the original panel housing estate and open countryside. The enclosed area currently forms a barrier between the cycling and walking route under Palacký Hill and the existing development. This presents an opportunity to open up and make this area more accessible to people. Overall, there are five residential buildings proposed in the area, each consisting of five above-ground floors, with the top floor being setback with vegetated roofs and terraces. The semi-open composition of the buildings responds to the existing urban structure and the panel housing development. It creates a space accessible not only to community residents but also to the public. The design of the multifunctional building is based on key principles such as Baugruppe construction, sustainability, prefabrication, and the associated speed of construction and variability of proposed interior spaces. It also emphasizes creating a place that fosters interaction among community residents. Furthermore, the aim is to work with wood as a significant element for reducing CO2 emissions and to influence the architect's and builder's attitude towards this material in terms of fire and environmental considerations. For these reasons, the building is designed as a hybrid timber and concrete structure. This system allows for fast, flexible, and cost-effective construction and an efficient combination of the properties of individual materials. The communication system of the building is designed as a gallery, offering additional meeting opportunities for residents for the purpose of community living. Operationally, the building is designed as a multifunctional structure with a predominant residential function. Common areas in the ground floor of the building are available for community residents in the form of co-working spaces, a café, and community workshops. The last setback fifth floor is also dedicated to the building's users, featuring wellness areas and an apartment for accommodating potential visitors of the residents. Users also have access to other shared spaces such as a bicycle room, stroller storage, and laundry room.

Community housing in Brno-Komín
Streďanská, Lucie ; Pekár, Pavel (referee) ; Novák, Antonín (advisor)
The subject of the master's thesis is the development of a proposal for a multi-functional building as a part of a new community housing complex in Brno-Komín near Řezáčova Street. The proposed area is situated between the existing panel houses of the original housing estate and open countryside in a relatively sloping terrain. The current condition of the site is neglected. There is a large amount of air raid greenery, and the entire area is impermeable. The goal of the proposal is not only to make the area accessible across the board, but also to design a varied residential environment for new and existing residents. This primarily involves differentiating individual spaces and proposing a wider range of activities in contrast to the original 'monofunctionality' of the existing housing estate. The design of a specific house in this diploma thesis follows the urban design concept, transportation design, greenery, rainwater management, and microclimate solutions outlined in the urban study from the previous semester.

Community housing in Brno-Komín
Varga, Peter ; Pekár, Pavel (referee) ; Novák, Antonín (advisor)
The architectural-urban design of the multifunctional building for community housing in the locality near Řezáčova Street in the Brno-Komín district responds to the boundary of the existing urban structure of the existing housing estate of prefabricated houses and the open countryside. The basic concept of the design is to promote community housing according to the Baugruppe model, including the design of a varied mix of housing units with adjacent semi-private spaces with clear differentiation of the different types of spaces. The design assumes the use of building materials, including detailing for sustainability and the structural advantages of hybrid timber construction with innovative prefabricated element technology. The location of the multifunctional building on the site of the former gardens in close proximity to the forest creates an ideal vision for housing with quality neighbourhood relations and the possibility of social public life. The composition of the building, including the choice of building materials and structures, is based on the functional solution of a multifunctional building and responds to economic and ecological aspects. The layout of the building is designed in a simple and clear way, applying the requirements of optimum space, functional and operational cleanliness and variability of spaces. The building is designed as a multifunctional building primarily represented by housing with a community character and is complemented with public functional facilities in the form of flexible rentable spaces. A rooftop level completes the functional content with a wellness area, yoga space and a community terrace and garden with a beautiful view of the surrounding natural landscape.

Baugruppe in Rosice u Brna
Demjanovičová, Michaela ; Navrátil, Václav (referee) ; Suchánek, Radek (advisor)
Nowadays, it is essential to find ways to integrate the old urban fabric into the contemporary city and to fight against the emergence of mono-functional zones in small towns like Rosice. In addition to the large cities, smaller communities within commuting distance are also struggling with a process of densification that has for the most part been solved by exporting dense patterns from cities or building typologies that do not always fit these suburban conditions. Often, it is precisely by improperly intervening and simply copying dense urban models that the distinctive identity of a place is lost, and this intervention is not adequate to the complex context of these suburban areas with their seemingly disordered heterogeneous landscapes. By exploring alternative forms of housing, different and new forms can emerge, which can promote precisely diversity and new approaches, while at the same time leading to the integration of this heterogeneous urban landscape and combating the diagnoses of postmodern society.

Koprivnice 3.0 - Housing A++
Bubeníková, Zuzana ; Rusín, Tomáš (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
This diploma thesis is aimed at the strategic plan for new use of a plot owned by the town of Kopřivnice, which formerly accomodated exterior handball courts with adjacent facilities and a restaurant, the so-called “Házeňák”. The design follows up the pre-diploma project, which analyses the building theory of socialist urban planning, precisely regarding the zoned city and its influence on the form of the town Kopřivnice as well as the life of its inhabitants. The master planning of the choosen plot relies on the alternation of free urban space and buildings of adequate scale, which respects the existing restaurant building. The typology of the designed buildings combines administration, commercial ground floor and residential floors with the access to roof terraces. The detail of the choosen development strategy is demonstrated on the design of an apartment building which implements the “Baugruppe” construction model consisting of twelve model households. The individual requirements of these households are reflected in the separate layouts of the apartments. The materiality of this apartment building reacts to the observation of the surrounding development and an unmistakeable character of the town. The design of the facade also takes into account the individuality of the households and dynamically reacts to the life in the new neighborhood.

Baugruppe in Rosice u Brna
Calíková, Natália ; Krištof, Michal (referee) ; Suchánek, Radek (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of Baugruppe and its application in the town of Rosice. It is an approach to housing that is currently used in some countries of Western Europe, but is not yet well represented in the Czech Republic. It is a response to the current state of housing affordability in the Czech Republic and to highlight a housing tip with a good quality/price ratio. At the same time, it is about bringing this topic of housing closer to the society. The thesis is related to the pre-diploma thesis, in which three parcels of the town of Rosice were dealt with and different approaches to deal with the area were sought. The diploma is a response to one of the selected parcel with the actual design of a building with participatory housing.
