Design of a contemporary urban district in the context of a historic city - urban study
Stanislavová, Soňa ; Obrtlík, Jan (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to design a high quality timeless urban district or part of the city, in relation to the existing historic city. The area in question is located in the historic centre, which is also a conservation area. The site contains both urban landmarks and historic buildings. However, most of the buildings were built after 1945, when the town was largely bombed out. The main idea of the design is to respect the existing structure. The design complements the existing buildings and creates new blocks that clearly define public and private space. Other elements include making public spaces more attractive, revitalising traffic areas and improving pedestrian infrastructure. The newly proposed development is predominantly residential in nature and should increase interest in living in the city for young people and businesspeople.

Design of a contemporary city district in the environment of the historic city.
Landa, Karel ; Obrtlík,, Jan (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor)
The assignment of the diploma thesis was set to design new structure inside of historic city, which in the past went through major changes due to construction of main road leading through and dividing it to the 2 parts by creating a psychological barrier. This road was built mainly because of the construction of nuclear plant Dukovany to transit its part and component via this road. Simultaneously the thesis assignment was to design new bus station to replace existing one which is oversized from its completion and to incorporate this bus station to the life of the city. In my proposal I was creating the city structure by using principles set by historic structure of the city adapted to modern normative requirements while finding new genius loci of the area, which is in my proposal created by uncovering the Stařečka stream, which was hidden by construction of bus station. Next goal of the proposal was to improve possibility to walk faster through city by creating shortcuts and paths for the main and most important users of the city which are the people.

Conversion of a city block in Ljubljana
Uhríková, Tatiana ; Rypl Žabčíková, Ada (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The design of the urban - architectural study of the city block serves as an ideological concept of the reconversion of the historic city block of Ljubljana and at the same time offers possible answers to the problem of thickening city centers, the use of vague urban spaces that have lost their significance. The first part of the proposal deals with the solution of micro urbanism of the inner block, which is currently undergoing many building modifications, which eventually led to its devastation and degradation of the environment. The design of urbanism responds to the naturalness of the urban organism, respects its unique context, and aims to create a natural setting that can become part of the site without compromising its original integrity and character. The second part of the design is an architectural study of the Cultural Center with a theatrical scene, whose idea and concept arose as a result of thinking about densifying the city and using the potential of "empty places" to bring new qualities and a new impulse to life. The process also applies the knowledge from the work of Christopher Alexander and his Language of Patterns, which served as a theoretical basis and a great source of inspiration. The analytical part and the process of work naturally resulted in the program of the cultural center and theater, as a suitable and missing element of the city, which will create a strong center of activity across different age groups and communities. The organization of the material structure of the individual contents and the division of the program answers the questions of urbanism, specific ideas about the functioning of the site, the quality of the environment, and the creation of a positive geometry of public space. The functional content in the center reflects the idea of thickening within the organization of space and creates the organism of the "city in the city". The term thickening is not meant primarily as a formal thickening, but as content, which brings many new, diverse activities to the area addressed.

To Finish the Body of the City
Vitkovič, Michal ; Kosek, Filip (referee) ; Hora, Jan (advisor)
The proposal verifies the possibilities of completing the land on the edge of the historic centre in the form of a city block, within the extreme limits set by its narrow dimensions. The apparent disadvantages - the spatial limitation and the position on a slope - become an opportunity to create a variety of atmospheres and situations, different levels of height, partitions and connections. The concept reflects the phenomena of city coalescence, the end of the dominance of cars, addressing the lack of affordable housing and increasing the density of the city and place. The infill of the mixed-use building consists mainly of flats designed for population groups threatened by the current housing crisis - young people and the socially disadvantaged. The housing programme is complemented by council flats. The proposal seeks to provide service, leisure and social opportunities. The flats have private gardens located on green roofs and communal seating areas. An important part of the block is the community centre. In line with the concept of short distances, there are also shops and a café with a bookshop on the ground floor. In the part of the plot close to the city centre we find a small public square with greenery. Parking is located mostly in a semi-flooded basement, which gradually rises to the terrain and creates a platform for residential buildings. The contrast of the concrete base and the brick linear blocks is the main characteristic of the simple facades. The new urban block also reshapes the character of the surrounding streets, humanising them and integrating the urban fabric.

Design of a sustainable urban structure - based on a medieval city - for the 21st century.
Čech, Daniel ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of the design was to create a functional urban structure in Náměšť nad Oslavou, which works on the principles of a modern city of the 21st century, but is also inspired by elements of a medieval city. So it is a marriage of the old with the new. On this basis, a compact functional structure was designed, which functions as a complement to the existing development and does not serve as a separate unit. In the new development, therefore, elements were designed to help improve the quality of life throughout the city. Emphasis was placed on the unique character of the development, a car-free center, plenty of green space and work with natural resources. The design has a lifespan of tens to hundreds of years. The proposed development can later be extended to the space, but also to the height.

CITY OF KYJOV - REBUILDING THE CITY BLOCK
Daňová, Veronika ; Hoffmann, David (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The topic of my diploma thesis is an urbanistic and architectural study of the reconstruction of a city block near Masaryk Square in Kyjov. The block is located between the main square and the bus station. Currently, some parts of the block are used not enough or not used at all. The urbanistic study deals with the completion of the block and the creation of new public spaces with a newly designed traffic road. The architectural study deals with the study of an apartment building with parking next to the Panorama cinema in the western part of the city block. The aim of the proposal is to complete the gap, rebuild and return the housing function to the city center.

The aim of my thesis is to find the optimal urban concept, building program and architectural design of two town houses.

All´s Well That Ends Well: Architecture of Palliative Care
Vítková, Kateřina ; Sládek, Martin (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Can architecture ease the departure of people and their loved ones and remove or at least alleviate the stigmatization and taboo of death? The aim of this work is to design an ideal space for palliative care. The aim is not to design another hospice, or home for the elderly people, which has been designed and built more or less enough (see Analytical section). The task I set out was to accommodate this space on the basis of its broad context, to focus on the right urban location, operational content, relationships with and around, linking, opening, ... but also the very idea of death, leaving parting. The theme of palliative care is very complex and societal, which is reflected in its own design, which represents a new model of palliative care architecture. Palliative Care Center.
