Center for seniors in Brno-Medlánky
Čermák, Martin ; Klimecký, Martin (referee) ; Gerö, Jiří (advisor)
The assignment of the diploma project was to design a center for seniors in Brno - Medlánky. The project of the center for seniors follows on from the pre-diploma project, the aim of which was to design an urban structure on an unused plot of land between the technology park and Medlánky. The territory is defined by area development on the south, west and east sides. Part of the territorial study was also a proposal to extend tram line No. 12 towards the area under consideration. The location of the center for seniors follows from the developed territorial study, which is attached to this diploma project. The main motive for the creation of the center for seniors was to arrange the objects in such a way that they create a "safe embrace" that will provide the residents with a sense of security. The main building is thus L-shaped with rooms facing the quiet courtyard towards the amphitheater. In the event of a social event, guests can watch the program from their balconies or windows. The remaining rooms face the street. The ground floor of the building is partially embedded in the terrain and thanks to this it naturally connects to the amphitheater. I try to create pleasant, well-lit spaces in the house, so that there is always a good atmosphere and the guests can accept this place as their new home. The capacity of the center for seniors results from the elaborated analyzes attached in this project. The home for the elderly was supposed to include all the necessary operations, such as a central dining room, library, gymnasium, space for doctors, management offices, staff changing rooms, a central laundry room and other necessary technological facilities.

Sustainable urban neighbourhood design of a Czech city
Faryová, Markéta ; Řehák, Filip (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of the master's thesis was to propose a solution for the current urban structure, based on the principles of economic, social, and environmental sustainability – the urban vision of the city of Břeclav. The defined area is bordered by 1. máje street and the embankment of the relief arm of the Dyje river; to the east, it neighbors the historical center, and to the south, residential buildings and a hospital. Various types of buildings are found in this area: supermarkets, storage facilities, industrial complexes, residential buildings etc. However, the density of development is not high. Residential buildings within the defined area are preserved. Buildings unsuitable for the central part of the city due to their character, design, or scale will be replaced or relocated to a more suitable location. The newly proposed structure represents a compact part of the city, mainly comprising urban blocks typical of urban space. It also responds to the surrounding existing development, connecting the older and newer parts of the city. A part of the proposal involves making accessible and integrating parts of the millrace into the public space as a significant element of Břeclav's identity, which abounds in natural wealth. Together with other principles, emphasis was placed on creating a space for people that serves as a home, workplace, meeting point, and living space.

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.

Design of a Vessel for Ocean Waste Collection
Šnajdr, Petr ; Paliatka, Peter (referee) ; Křenek, Ladislav (advisor)
The thesis deals with the problem of the exponentially increasing amount of plastic waste in the world's seas and oceans. The text discusses the causes of this problem and current efforts to address it, including an analysis of these efforts, on the basis of which new solutions are identified and proposed. The aim of the thesis is to design a vessel, including its operating system, that will enable the collection of floating waste from large bodies of water while being as sustainable as possible. The proposed vessel approaches the problem with a systemic solution that addresses not only the end problem but also its causes. To do this, it uses its configurable design between working and living versions. In both cases, the vessel collects floating waste through a unique system of two separable motorised floats that direct the waste to the vessel, where it is then scooped and processed by pyrolysis on board. In addition, the residential version of the vessel allows public accommodation on board, which will financially support operations while educating the community about the global problem of plastic pollution through media and experience. The operation of the vessel is as environmentally friendly and self-sufficient as possible through the use of renewable energy and semi-autonomous steering. Within this framework, an innovative device combining vertical wings propelling the vessel while integrating a rotating turbine generating electricity from wind power has been designed. The results of the work provide a systemic solution to the problem of plastic pollution in the oceans, which can not only be economically and environmentally sustainable, but also has a social impact. In addition, it offers a number of innovative technical and design solutions that can be applied in other technologies.

Sustainably living village - Urban design of the village of Brněnce in relation to the former premises of textile factories
Poláková, Marie ; Obrtlík, Jan (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor)
The content of the diploma thesis is an urban study of the village of Brněnec with a focus on the area of the former textile factory. Brněnec is a municipality where Czechs, Germans and Jews have lived together for centuries. The originally conflict-free relations between the residents were violently broken due to the influence of historical events. The Czech-Moravian border passed through the middle of the village, then the border of the Protectorate. The local factory of the Löw- Beer family was an important branch of international importance, later becoming the scene of the rescue of Jewish workers by Oskar Schindler. The author's aim was to reflect historical events in the design to the maximum extent and as sensitively as possible, but at the same time with the intention of creating a building that is pleasant for users, with an emphasis on sustainability and aesthetic requirements and regarding urban connections on the scale of the entire village.

Sustainable urban neighbourhood design of a Czech city
Koudelka, Vojtěch ; Řehák, Filip (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The task of the thesis was to create a new urban structure in the city of Breclav. The area in the project is located along the 1st May Avenue, which is a congested traffic route of the municipality. The area contains disparate buildings, industrial buildings and brownfield areas. The task of the work was to conceptually design the entire city with an emphasis on the selected location of the new urban district. The proposal creates a new compact block development that will compact the core of the dispersed city. The focus of the design is on increasing temperature conditions, the creation of new housing opportunities and the connection of the designed area with the nearby surroundings separated by barriers. The design also addresses wider urban connectivity, creating alternative routes for congested arterial traffic and complementing existing urban amenities.

Sustainable urban neighbourhood design of a Czech city
Venglář, Václav ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis aims at designing a new urban district in the Czech town near state borders of Břeclav. This town has a specific historical development, landscape location, natural conditions including flood risks and its own almost rural character. In the second half of the 20th century, this character was considerably disrupted by the construction of high-rise apartment buildings and new housing estates that did not respect the existing scale of the buildings and the town as a whole. The approach taken in the creation of the new district was to respect the existing scale of the city and to preserve the existing residential buildings and the size of the original building blocks. Furthermore, the amenities such as school facilities and a nursing home are added and the currently underused or poorly used areas in the middle of the city are reclaimed. These areas should be instead the most exclusive and active. The newly designed development thus fills in the current blind spot of the city, limits urban sprawl into the open countryside, raises the potential of the city centre itself and improves the connection of the individual city districts both by transport and urban structure.

Center for seniors in Brno-Medlánky
Otépka, Petr ; Klimecký, Martin (referee) ; Gerö, Jiří (advisor)
The architectural study for the elderly home follows on the urban-architectural study conducted in the previous semester as a part of the NGA056 – Specialised Studio course. The study resulted in a compact urban development with mix of functions. It includes not only housing, commerce, public buildings, the church, the sport hall and transport facilities, but also a block of centre for elderly. The architectural study is focused on creating a complex centre with good supply of services, amenities, privacy and, most importantly, quality spaces. The design is based on the concept of compactness. All pavilions which are full of spatial and operational requirements form a block and inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is situated above the underground parking, and it is adjacent to a park, connected to it by a ‘neck’. The park opens to the southwest and its borders are defined by the centre on the east and apartment building for elderly on north side. On the side which faces the centre of the new district, the block turns on its ground floor, accommodating a café, entrances and other services. It facilitates connection with the community, together with park on the opposite side. The proposal presents a contemporary perspective on housing for the elderly in our society. The spaces try to have their own identity, with which residents or clients can identify and accept a room or apartment as their home, rather than just a final stop on their life’s journey.

Sustainability in graphic design
Shalak, Hanna ; Veselá, Lenka (referee) ; Ondrík, Jozef (advisor)
During the project development, I explored the elements of A4 paper packaging design in terms of sustainability, ecology, and product properties. Analysis of consumer behavior indicates insufficient attention paid to industrial standards in paper production, contributing to the spread of so-called "greenwashing" and slowing progress in addressing environmental issues. The packaging itself is often perceived merely as an object for disposal. Therefore, one of the main goals of my work is to focus on the informational components of its design. This serves as a basis for conveying the complexity and intricacy of the system hidden behind clean A4 paper. To carry out the project, I collected packaging from local printing shops and copy centers in Brno. This allowed me to gain a clearer understanding of the variety of papers circulating in the city, the types of eco-labels used by manufacturers and suppliers, and based on what preferences a certain type of material is ordered for printing.

FCK Technology bro
Chvátalová, Clara ; Ponešová, Barbora (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
In my project, I am addressing the task of transforming the site of the current Malenovická sawmill into a new housing development. Tomáš Batas’ street, which is the defining interfering element of the location, will be visually and acoustically shielded by an administrative building with a commercial ground floor and an eight-story polyclinic building on the corner. Providing a natural dominant cover for the new urban structure, we will find the quiet residential zone in the periphery containing the apartment buildings. A key element of my project is the semi-enclosed atrium, which provides a thermoregulation zone based on the chimney and greenhouse effect.
