Sustainable urban neighbourhood design of a Czech city
Kiowský, Filip ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to design a new urban structure for Břeclav. The conceptual study addresses the connection of two separate urban units through a new polyfunctional district. Returning to well-proven urban planning methods plays an important role: compactness and working with public space, as well as nature-inspired landscape interventions. The result is a polycentric neighbourhood for eight thousand inhabitants. The design consists of a series of urban blocks, the scale of which is adapted to the existing part of the city, thus achieving intensive land use, tapping into the potential of the area for the sustainable development of the entire Břeclav without a need to expand into the surrounding countryside. Public spaces are systematically hierarchized, giving the new district order. Emphasis is placed on permeability, overcoming barriers such as watercourses and the busy main street 1. máje. Ecological modes of transport are preferred - namely public transport, cyclists, and pedestrians. The design thus offers an alternative to the current wave of Czech cities expanding to their surroundings.

NetZero – carbon neutral living in Brno
Dudáš, Matúš ; Gebauer, Pavel (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the design of an architectural study for two apartment buildings, which follows a previous urban study. The main goal of the diploma thesis is to design buildings with minimal carbon footprint throughout their entire life cycle, achieving a so-called NetZero state. The new district is designed urbanistically and functionally to provide residents with all necessary services while maintaining good connections with public transportation, thereby reducing the need for individual car transportation solutions. The area in question is located in Brno, in the Starý Lískovec locality, near the new tram stop Západná brána. It is an unused plot of land, bordered to the south by urban structures and to the north by administrative spaces including OC Campus Square, the University Campus Bohunice, and the Faculty Hospital Brno. To the east of the plot, there are planned construction projects focused on housing. The material composition of the apartment buildings combines low-carbon concrete and prefabricated CLT panels, supporting the sustainability of the buildings and the efficiency of construction. This hybrid approach minimizes CO2 emissions while providing the necessary strength and durability of the structures. CLT panels are a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional building materials and allow for faster construction. Both apartment buildings have similar operations. The underground level is designed with parking spaces for the apartment owners. On the ground floor, there is a parterre with smaller shops, a café, and a bar with outdoor seating between the new buildings. The upper floors house various types and sizes of residential units. The top floors feature duplex apartments with terraces and views.

Housing estates and their author's reflection
Cibulková, Kristýna ; Francová, Sylva (advisor) ; Raudenský, Martin (referee)
Housing estates and their author's reflection ABSTRACT The housing estate itself and its development represent a fascinating topic that encompasses a wide range of aspects from urban planning and architecture to social and cultural phenomena. The central theme of the thesis is the environment of panel housing estates and their reflection in the author's and didactic parts. In the theoretical part, the thesis addresses the idea of the emergence, realization, and development of housing estates in the area of the capital city of Prague. It focuses on the relationships of the housing estate with other elements of the city and studies them in sociological, political, and geographical contexts. It deals with the theme of the place itself, its character, and its recording. It seeks connections of the topic in art, architecture, and urbanism and interprets them into the didactic and practical parts. The didactic part is based on the findings obtained in the theoretical part and proposes their use in visual arts classes. Using mental maps, it explores the environment of housing estates from the perspective of elementary school students. It motivates them to actively explore the environment in which they live and offers various activities to support their interest and understanding of the topic. In the practical...

Mix/Match
Hauke, Adriana ; Palaščak, Michal (referee) ; Manton, Ryan (advisor)
The project is centered around architectural design of a mixed-use building primarily tailored for residential purposes, with a specific focus on student accommodation. This decision is grounded in a thorough analysis of the surrounding area. I am proposing a design that integrates tennis club already existing on the site while introducing new functional elements. These include a café/bar, study spaces, interior sport hall with a padel court and a hostel. One of the tennis courts is on the ground and one is on a roof of the building. In my proposal, I am opening the site more to the public, allowing anyone to enjoy the views and atmosphere it offers, thereby creating a place for a community.

Football Recycling
Raabová, Viktorie ; Jemelka, Vojtěch (referee) ; Sedlák, Jaroslav (advisor)
In the centre of the city, near Lužánky, there is a strange brownfield that represents an interesting mix of past and present. This place has been the target of many plans and visions, but their fate has been different. Some have come to fruition, others have remained on paper, waiting for their chance. Different people have been involved in the creation of this complex space, coming and going over time, creating a distinct entity with many faces. Here you will find a luxury hotel, abandoned sports venues from the past and tennis courts still attracting sports enthusiasts. All this is complemented by a vast car park that seems to be a kind of inhospitable oasis in the middle of the city's concrete. But behind this urban kaleidoscope lies Planýrka, a special piece of nature in the heart of the city. Only the beaten paths and untrodden greenery here testify to a life that takes place beyond the reach of human hands, a life according to its own rules.

Commercial center Miris Garden in Croatia
Uherková, Jana ; Vintr, Jan (referee) ; Novák, Petr (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is the preparation of project documentation for building permits and documentation for construction implementation, based on the assignment provided in the 3rd year during the winter semester in the subject BGA 032 – Architectural Studio IV. The study focuses on the design of a new commercial center placed in the area of a newly planned holiday resort in Croatia. The addressed plot is located in the Croatian Dalmatia region, near the village of Stari Grad-Paklenica. Currently, the whole area is unused, undeveloped, and overgrown with wild vegetation. The architectural concept aims to create a building that responds to the sloping terrain of the plot and provides its future visitors with a sense and atmosphere of Croatian architecture. This is achieved through the use of stone cladding and wooden shading elements, which are typical materials for this region. The irregularly shaped building consists of two above-ground floors. The first floor is used for dining, commerce, and sports, while the second floor accommodates dining, services, administration, and entertainment. In contrast to the first floor, the second floor is more shallow, creating a walkable terrace from which individual units are accessible. The terrace also features outdoor seating for gastronomic establishments, complemented by wooden pergolas with sliding fabric shading. One of the dominant elements of the complex is the outdoor staircase connecting both floors. It is not only a guiding element but also reveals views of the sea and the setting sun. The design also emphasizes public spaces. In the front area of the commercial center on the northeast side, the space is divided into green islands with seating. These green islands, along with a water feature, complete the square in front of the commercial center facing the sea. The area also includes wooden pergolas with sliding fabric shading, resembling waves of the sea, providing a unique atmosphere.

A new building on Kraví hora in Brno
Bogárová, Zora ; Kristek, Jan (referee) ; Rozwalka, Szymon (advisor)
The thesis focuses on addressing the current state of the garages situated at the base of Kraví Hora in Brno. The design concept for the parking house, integrated with a sports hall, draws inspiration from the surrounding streets. These streets, strategically positioned at the entrance to Kraví Hora, exhibit dynamic fluctuations fullness and emptiness, presenting a strong opportunity to repurpose the space currently dedicated solely to parking. The cark park is envisioned as a publicly accessible facility characterized by adaptable atmospheres of openness and enclosure, reflecting the flexible utilization of its spaces which extends into the structural concept and possibilities of its redesign. The proposal aims to become a part of Kraví hora, but also of the city and its needs.
