Industrial sites vegetation area – Frydlant in Bohemia case study
Vokurková, Tereza
The aim of my dissertation research is to verify the hypothesis that vegetation areas make integral part of the industrial sites architecture. The case study of the Frydlant region in North Bohemia is part of the Liberec region, previously famous for its industry. Its original settlement structure was previously formed by valley field villages with German population; these villages smoothly grew into industrial villages during the 19th century. First, I brought together a database of manufacturing buildings dating from the medieval colonization. Subsequently, I focused on industrial companies with more than 100 employees from the 19th century to the mid-20th century. By means of research in archives and using on-line applications, I concentrate especially on analysis of the contemporary cartographic data, project documentation, iconography, historical photographs and aerial historical and contemporary photographs. My research documents the relationship between the enterprise size and the quality and quantity of its vegetation area. After specifying the borders of the observed enterprise areas I compare their total areas and their percentage of developed and undeveloped areas of various functions. In case of a landscape architecture discovery, a more detailed composition analysis will be performed. I also attest the influence of the industrial companies on the original site and its landscape around. The research is concluded with field surveys verifying the extent of preservation of the industrial premises. The preliminary results verify the hypothesis positively. The extents of vegetation areas and the ranges of their architectural approach show to be adequate to the industrial company sizes. So far, I have identified 28 industrial companies with more than 100 employees in the Frydlant region.

Historical Breweries: the Past or the Future?
Mosler, Štěpán
Until these days we have registered 1400 brewery facilities. In this list there are factories which are fully functional, used for another function, abandoned or completely vanished. Unfortunately most of them are ruins or completely destroyed. Important thing is how we will treat with these structures in the future. Will we use this unique potential, or leave this place for a new function? Which way we can choose? What is the potential of these buildings and what they need? This article tries to briefly describe and highlight the extraordinary qualities of a large group of industrial buildings which due to dramatic changes in society became endangered.

Evaluation of industrial heritage
Navrátil, Oldřich ; Králová, Eva (referee) ; Zemánek, Václav (referee) ; Ryšková, Michaela (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The main subject is evaluation of effective use in terms of care (not only within protection of monuments) in order to save and protect industrial heritage. Pointing out on critical issues connected with the end of production of traditional branches which played the key role in historical development of our cities. Nowadays abandoned buildings and sites are represented by memory of the place or its prosperity. New owners often don't share the positive approach to the industrial heritage, developers are seeking new sites, cities and inhabitants have developed new needs through the time. The work will demonstrate examples within European context and will make recommendations in monitoring and classification of industrial heritage to prevent undo able losses.

Industrial and military architecture of seaports, comparative analysis of reconversion of industrial and military heritage
Remy-Zéphir, Šárka ; Prof.Ing.arch.Peter Vodrážka,PhD. (referee) ; Hrabec, Josef (referee) ; Prof.Patrick Dieudonné (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
During World War II, seaports Brest, Lorient and Saint-Nazaire were heavily destroyed because of their strategic location on the Atlantic coastline. Those historical events could be considered as new opportunities for the seaports to realise new thoughts and ambitious architectural projects in order to improve the functionality of the urban organism. In these days, a new occasion has come. Military and industrial areas, which were always thoroughly separated from the town centres, have been now releasing from their original activity. There are huge free building sites in the middle of the cities, waiting for the urban architects.

Economic utilization of industrial structures with focus on railway stations
Krčmařová, Klára ; Kouba, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Scholleová, Hana (referee)
The thesis "Economic utilization of industrial structures with focus on railway stations" analyses all possibilities of sustainable use of industrial buildings with a focus on specific example of the Ţiţkov freight station. Based on the general characteristics of both industrial heritage and brownfields are defined steps which are necessary for the protection of valuable locations without present use. The whole process is described in the context of positive and negative externalities. The most important problem is financing the revitalization of problematic objects. The practical part of the thesis describes the previous issues connected to the Ţiţkov freight station including major studies of its potential utilization.
