Mix/Match Brno
Denissenko, Daniil ; Havliš, Karel (referee) ; Toman, Radek (advisor)
Contemporary large cities are facing a housing crisis, which includes insufficient residential units, soaring rents, and insufficient capacity to meet the demand for affordable living. One pressing issue is the scarcity of temporary accommodations for students and living spaces for recent graduates embarking on their careers amidst steep rental prices. The project explores innovative housing solutions tailored to specified social groups. Implemented in the gap between two existing structures on Hlinky Street, opposite the Brno Exhibition Centre in the historic Old-Brno district, it presents affordable communal living for students, accessible housing for graduates, and integrates commercial amenity, which can thrive in the urban structure of the area.

Zlín FCK Technology
Matuška, Martin ; Pecka, Lukáš (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
The assignment of the final diploma thesis was the design of an urban structure of a multifunctional nature on the territory of a brownfield in Zlín – in a regional part Malenovice. The subject of the proposal was to react ingeniously to the surrounding context and at the same time to apply knowledge from the pre-diploma project, which analyzed the use of sustainable materials in housing construction. The assignment then smoothly transitioned into the specific design of one apartment building. The goal was to create pragmatic affordable housing that would reduce overall operating costs and create a quality indoor environment through the appropriate use of building materials and constructions. Finally, the work deals with urban, architectural, dispositional and construction solutions. It also offers several technical and constructional details of various scales. The assignment was specific in a certain way and there were several ways to deal with it. The proposed solution tries to open up a discussion about the appropriate filling of an empty lot and at the same time opens the topic of elementary dispositions and forms.

Zlín FCK Technology
Kučera, Petr ; Pecka, Lukáš (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
The diploma work deals with the design of a residential building in the town of Malenovice u Zlína, where a new residential complex is to be built on the site of the former Malenovice sawmill. The land is located in close proximity to the main road to Zlín. The work proposes a modular house system made of prefabricated CLT elements with social and community overlap. A system that allows rapid construction and creation of buildings with different configurations according to the given requirements not only in the territory of Malenovice. The design system includes small-scale flats with elements of variable furniture, which allows to reduce the cost of housing, which is responding to the current unaffordable housing, but maintaining human comfort. The design also addresses the efficient use of technology on site and its sometimes excessive use.

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.

New social housing in Sielce: Remodeling of an avant-garde Szpiegowo building in Warsaw
Miklušová, Tereza ; Sikorski, Michal (referee) ; Mielczarek, Zuzanna Irena (advisor)
The aim of my master thesis was a reconstruction of the so-called Szpiegowo in Warsaw, which was built in the 1970s by Janusz Nowak and Piotr Sembrat as a residential complex for Russian diplomats. For the last 20 years the place was uninhabited and slowly falling into disrepair, but after the Russian invasion of Ukraine the city finally managed to reclaim the building and they are planning renovate it. My intention for the remodelling was to design housing for students and creatives based on analyses of the neighbo hood and the current housing situation in Warsaw. The design also includes the revitalization of the outdoor spaces and the important connection of the complex with its surroundings, since nowadays the whole building is fenced off and completely cut off from the neighborhood. In addition, thanks to some additional functions that will be accessible for everyone, the place will become more vivid and will have the potential to become a new local centre for the residents of Sielce and new users.

To Finish the Body of the City
Demjanovičová, Michaela ; Sládeček, Svatopluk (referee) ; Hora, Jan (advisor)
The subject of the assignment was the design of a multifunctional house or a set of houses and adjacent public spaces in the town of Louny, located in the Ústí nad Labem region less than an hour's drive from the capital city of Prague. The plot is located on the very edge of the historical centre of Louny between the more traffic-exposed Osvoboditelů Street, Na Valích Street and Komenského Square. Currently there is a parking lot which serves the residents. However, the plot has much greater potential due to its location in relation to the historic centre and traffic connections. The theme of my work is to focus on a form of affordable housing that should expand the number of apartments in the urban housing stock of Louny while meeting the needs of its residents, connecting them and offering them opportunities to benefit from shared housing and the location of the house close to the centre. Giving them the opportunity to create a community, to meet and hold events in shared interior and exterior spaces, but also providing its residents with a sufficient amount of privacy. One of the goals is also to create an affordable housing development that does not have the stigma of being the cheapest development, but offers its residents a pleasant place to live, sets a new trend, and its appearance reflects its relationship to the downtown. The aim of the design was to create a structure that opens up to the city, offering new facilities for its residents, while providing sufficient comfort, security and dignity of living for the house's inhabitants. The community events of the house are therefore relatively hidden from the public, but at the same time allow anyone to enter the space. The project also focuses on the individual needs of groups of people. Using certain principles, I try to help the community life of the residents in the most natural way possible, so that at the same time the privacy of individuals is preserved.

Theory of a healthy city of the 21st century
Liptáková, Adela ; Kotrla, Jakub (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor)
The first part of the thesis focuses on characterizing the problems, their origins, and their negative consequences. Furthermore, the thesis discusses the trends related to safe and healthy, or sustainable, public spaces. The thesis operates with the knowledge of Danish architect Jan Gehl, who argues that cities should primarily be designed for people. In terms of addressing the issue of a safe city, this work draws upon the writings of Jane Jacobs, who holds a similar view to Jan Gehl. Subsequently, the thesis transitions from a general perspective on a healthy city to examining the situation in the city of Brno, providing an assessment of the state of its public urban space. The practical part then delves into specific measures and policies that have been implemented abroad and proven to be successful. The thesis concludes with a simplified proposal for the revitalization of the brownfield of the former Kohn´s brick factory in Brno, where the insights from the theoretical part of the thesis are applied.

Vancouver - Affordable Housing Challenge
Pleštilová, Tereza ; Klimecký, Martin (referee) ; Gerö, Jiří (advisor)
The subject of this work was the preparation of project documentation consisting of the building permit documentation, documentation for the execution of the construction and the design of the architectural detail. The Bachelor thesis is based on the architectural study developed as a part of the course AG035studio work. The main idea behind social housing in Vancouver is to create affordable housing primarily for young people, whether individuals, couples, or families. The goal of the new housing design is to maximize the use of unbuilt and especially ballast plots near the city centre, attractive to the young generation that is lacking in Vancouver downtown. This need corresponds with the site plan which is derived from a maple leaf, the symbol of Canada, stylized into a pentagon. Addition of right angles creates a landform of variable use that can be easily placed on vacant lots even of irregular shapes. The proposed complex of three apartment buildings is located in the city of Vancouver, Canada, in a local neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant. The subject site is located south of the city centre and the site is easily accessible due to the well-developed public transportation and frequently used bicycle network. The proposal addresses both the building and the connection to the adjacent neighborhood. A total of three buildings of varying heights are proposed. The lowest is five storey and the heights escalate to the tallest seven storey building. The taller buildings stand on corners and visually exposed locations. There are four residential units proposed on each storey of the residential buildings, with the exception of the first storey offering rentable spaces. In total, sixty residential units are proposed, fifteen of which are of the 3+kitchen corner type and the other forty-five of the 1+kitchen corner type. The project documentation of the Bachelor's thesis deals with the apartment building A located in the north of the site.

Vancouver - Affordable Housing Challenge
Syniuk, Kateryna ; Klimecký, Martin (referee) ; Gerö, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis is based on the project of an apartment building, created as a part of the subject AG035 Architectural Design Studio. The subject matter is a design solution for an affordable housing in the city of Vancouver – one of the largest Canadian agglomerations with a fast-growing suburb area. The main idea of the project was to design an affordable and at the same time dignified housing for young families and working singles. One of the project‘s further goals is to revitalize the city center and encourage more people to switch to the urban lifestyle. The designed apartment building is located on Macdonald St, in a quiet city area, built up primarily by apartment and family houses. The project‘s parcel has a relatively flat area. There are a total of five floors in the building, including one underground parking floor. The underground floor also includes facility spaces for residents. The first aboveground floor is divided into two sections – a public and a private one. The public section is designed for two commercial units: a sports club and a coffee shop. The private part of the first aboveground floor is designated as a share space for residents. Next three aboveground floors are residential and include 4 units per floor. Thanks to the receding of the above-ground floors, each of the apartment units was provided with a balcony or terrace supplemented by a vegetation area. There is an atrium running over the upper floors, which illuminates the hallways leading to the individual apartments with da light. The structural system of the building is combined, formed primarily by means of brick walls with the use of reinforced concrete columns in the 1st underground and 1st above-ground floors. The building is covered with a flat roof with a terrace in combination with a green roof.
