Diplomní projekt - Možnosti využití postindustriálních areálů z pohledu krajinářské architektury
Posová, Karolína
This diploma thesis deals with problematics of using post-industrial areas in the city centres from the landscape architecture point of view and using these areas for climate change adaptation. The thesis focuses on working with water, vegetation and ecological approaches. Conversion options of the post-industrial areas and problems linked with these spaces are explained in the theoretical part (literature review). Simultaneously, the thesis deals with impacts of the climate change on the city and its adaptation for future climate changes. The goal of the research part of the paper, based on the studied literature and modeled area analysis of the Holešovice port in Prague, is to propose an ideal option of converting this post-industrial area and at the same time improving the microclimate of the Holešovice district by using the climate change adaptations. The Holešovice port was chosen for it’s historical importance during the forming of the industrial district of Holešovice and its unique position within Prague itself. The design of the whole area of the Holešovice port is documented by a conceptual form and the chosen part by an architecture study. Based on the studied literature and created design, the general theoretical starting points were formed for dealing with problematics of using post-industrial areas in urban centres by means of the landscape architecture.

HOUSE ON THE EDGE – Valašské Meziříčí, Sokolská Street
Švec, Martin ; Müller, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ruller, Ivan (advisor)
Modern and lightweight-looking architectural concept of the town house, which is the counterbalance to the former historical development and highlight of the look-through axe from the Main square. The inner-space functional allocation come through to the exterior look of the building. The former Poláškova street is extended, there is the piazetta with outside seating. The parter is determined by the roof cantilever and the wooden pergola with the outdoor LED illumination. In the ground floor there are two shopping spaces, pharmacy and film café. The first floor contains rehab centre. Its look is maximally lightweighted, the fassade is made only from the structural glassing. This makes the contrast between the ground floor growing up from the ground a the three-storeyed section for living. This part of building is carried by massive frames from reinforced concrete and is designed as a wood framework with pasted frames and gridiron ceiling pannels. It contains 28 appartments. Most of them are low-cost, epecially for young families and singles. In the underground are three storeys of parking. 81 places are the replacement of former public parking. The arrival ramp is situated on the south side by the Sokolská street. The connection point to the busy drive-through road is on the former crossroad with the Králova street, where are newly installed the traffic lights. The access to the shops is situated on the north side by the historical town centre. To cross the parcel is possible next to the building through the small park on the western side, or throught the centre of the bulding. The terrace above the ground floor is walkable and accessible by the stairs from piazetta or by the skew roof of the film café. The skew roof contains also benches and artificial waterfall, which ends in the fountain. The fountain is there for the good feeling of the space and for technical reasins. It is connected with the reservoir of the rain water.

Spica/ Brno, Nove sady 49°11'20.3"N 16°36'29.4"E
Křenek, Roman ; Havlíček, Tomáš (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The new town hall for Brno Stred is the icing on the cake following the planned large-scale construction of the new Main Railway Station and the Trnitá district, which should connect this railway station with the historic center. Such a change will significantly affect the expression of the city center, and such a step definitely has to include a modern representative institution. The concept is situated on the edge of the historic center at the estuary of the planned boulevard of the Trnitá district in Nové sady, above which the dominant of Brno Petrov rises. For this reason, the design of the town hall must be sufficiently representative, but at the same time lowly towards the historic buildings. Along with this fact, I am trying to answer the question of what the town hall of the 21st century should look like.

Community Center in the Centre
Krajčovičová, Barbora ; Šindlar, Jiljí (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
During the 70s Povazska Bystrica city has completely changed their entire downtown. When the proposal was envisaged to reserve 30 percent of the area from which it has over the years become parking places. This city center , without historical buildings with compactly closed square is certainly an interesting subject of sociological inquiry. What is missing in this zone are mainly related to leisure activities , facilities for mothers with small children , gallery , sports center , museum of Povazske strojarne . All these functions , I tried to include in my concept of urban strategies , from which I chose to further develop the community center building . That in itself contains a gallery , bistro , maternity center , multipurpose hall and two large spaces for the development of musical activities and creative abilities . Surrounding buildings are only with a flat roof , mainly cubic , and therefore I chose this also this very similar and simple shape. Form responds to the idea of the conclusion of the square , but their scale and the overall shape corresponds with the environment and communicate directly with him . Height of the building is in equilibrium with the surrounding building heights , four classic levels . The proposed building is from the eastern part , where the transition between buildings is designed after the original road from the church , the entrance to the maternity center is situated near the indoor playground snd the semi-opened atrium.Artistic and material solution responds to the urban environment in which the building is planted . Whereas in its vicinity is the amount of greenery with which is in direct contact (park , river with green stripe) and that is why I chose the color of the facade , which would be in contrast with greenery , but also square tiles . I chose pale pigmented precast concrete elements which, artistically revived facade and completed as well as the layout of windows and doors . Windows and doors have been designed with regard to the function rooms , as well as their breakdown, as some of them , such as entrance hall , extending over two floors , on the other hand , some classrooms respectively interest rooms have a mezzanine section . Complement the interior color shades that are not only functional but also aesthetic element , as are color differentiated by function of room . The building is designed as wall system combined with columns and materials , in turn, is a concrete and reinforced concrete .

Breda, the old department store
Mlýnková, Petra ; Mašek, Radomír (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
ABSTRACT The diploma thesis project deals, as its name suggests, with a former department store, so called „The old Breda“, which was built between 1927-28 in the then capital of Austrian Silesia, the Opava City. The department store is an architectural masterpiece, you will hardly find another department store of this kind in the whole of former Czechoslovakia. In 1972, it was declared a cultural monument. Today, we can understand it as an accurate testimony to what the city of Opava was a hundred years ago, how it has gradually changed and what it is like today. The building and its fate is also a frequently mentioned topic for the Opavans themselves, as the building itself reminds them of pleasant feelings and memories of the experience of its space. In this context, the central space under the dome, illuminated by glass-concrete blocks, is often inflected by people. Together with stained glass windows, lighted display cases and the creaking wooden steps of a large staircase, it offers visitors a truly unique atmosphere and moment. The reason why the building itself leaves a strong trace of nostalgia in each person is quite obvious and indisputable. It is a building of immense architectural quality, which the Silesian native from Krnov, known as the Viennese architect Leopold Bauer, offers to the local people through his work. Although there is no doubt that Bauer was a genius in his field, which I was able to see again and again during my research, we must not forget the fact that the whole project was possible to happen only thanks to the wealth and initiative of David Weinstein, businessman and owner of Breda & Weinstein company. However, Weinstein did not enjoy the building and its fame for very long and if you look at the time, the place and context and the fact that Weinstein was of Jewish descent, you will find out the reason why. The cruel fate thus befell his family, as did almost all Jews at the time (not only) in Opava. In 1945, during the Ostrava-Opava operation, Opava was almost completely reduced to ashes, and after the war, there were this time Germans who were to be completely expelled from Czechoslovakia. At that time, the building was called German because Breda and Weinstein spoke German. This was followed by privatization and the associated further changes in the property and also layout of the building. In 1994, in addition to the misfortune, the building was acquired „for sale“ by the local bussinesman Kolek, which meant a way to Breda to complete destruction. There was even a fire, which blackened the dome‘s otherwise light concrete. Since 2012, when the house was closed and taken out of operation, it has only fallen into disrepair. It was also in insolvency proceedings. However, in the eyes and hearts of the proud Opavans, the building still leaves strong recognition and feelings that did not allow the building to be abandoned, people put pressure on the politicians from the city for a long time, until in December 2021 the ciity approved the purchase of the building. However, this step opened up more and more questions and problems. Nobody knows what to do now. There is no intention. It is only clear that the reconstruction will be very costly. With my work based on analyzes from the last semester and studying the data of available research, I try to show the city how it could handle the building.
