Revitalization of a Historical Monument, Trenčín
Málek, Ivan ; Bindr, Tomáš (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of the proposed changes are aimed at creating a vertical division of functionality. The basement will be used for public purposes, the 1st floor will keep it's use as commercial spaces for rent, with less exposed parts of the disposition being converted into administrative spaces. The 2nd floor will be converted into flats of different sizes to accommodate a broad range of social classes, which should help bring life back to the city center. Much consideration is given to budgetary concerns, since the private owners have limited resources, while the changes should affect the daily routines of the tenants as little as possible. Another goal is to remove some of the insensitive building interventions made during the communist era, to restore the historical values of the entire building.

Czech Krumlov - Revitalization Ambit Zone
Benedová, Kateřina ; Vydrová, Zdeňka (referee) ; Rusín, Tomáš (advisor)
The project of revitalisation of the Ambit area in Český Krumlov emerges from the current needs and the future strategic visions of the town as well as from its historical context and cultural heritage. It proposes a natural and simple cultivation of the grounds and their transformation into a park and riverside promenades creating an agreeable background for the pedestrian paths joining the downtown with the housing areas in the suburbs. This environment creates a set for a multifunctional cultural and community centre. The historically protected building, originally a cloth factory, is transformed into a hotel with a restaurant and connected to two new objects of the cultural centre. In their volume and location these buildings don’t exceed the maximal height level of the surrounding area and respect its natural configuration as well as its historical value. Both houses correspond not only in terms of materials but also in their simple conception free of all unnecessary formalities. They are not trying to compete with the town and its genius loci; on the contrary, they attempt to create a dignified entrance wordy of the town. Their floor plan creates a coherent space with a certain amount of tension created by the very not-orthogonal arrangement.

KAIFEROVÁ, Olga
The peatlands belong to unique biotopes of our landscape. Great attention is paid to their protection, especially due to the fact that they are home sites for rare animal and plant species as a whole they are very important for the general diversity of the landscape, and they play a vital role in the water regime of the landscape as well. More than 70 % of peat bogs were drained in Šumava in the past. Drainage leads to a general distortion and degradation changes (in peat, flora as well as fauna). The programme known as the "Programme of revitalisation of Šumava wetlands and peat bogs" is focused on the rescue of the spots affected. Its main aim is the the rescue and protection of spoiled wetlands and peat bogs, as well as a general remedy od the distorted water regime in the landscape. Within voluntary activiries, so called Days for Peat-bogs, the public can get involved into the peat bog recovery.
