City Library of Přerov
Ptačin, Ján ; Uhlíř, Petr (referee) ; Ruller, Ivan (advisor)
The new public library building needs to meet a lot of diverse demands. It has to be developed in conjunction with librarian's needs, it has to react on existing urban conditions and it needs to be self-defining and future oriented, so it will be able to cope with radical changes in the communications we experience nowadays. Our proposition is a reaction to the impulses of the site combined with our view of what a new library should represent. It is: communication, interaction, inspiration. We try to eliminate negative aspects of the selected site and on the other hand, use and develop existing potential. The building tries to terminate the big crossroads next to the site and on the contrary to create a nice quiet public space with the church. It also wants to be a new landmark and icon of the town. The solution we found is based on two main principles. A fence. And a hill. Fence as a guard and prevention from crossroads, as a closure of the urban block and public space with green and church building inside, as a boarder with the industrial part of the town, as a show-off wall, a allure to the world of wisdom and quiet public space behind... It is represented by double glass facade along the border of the site. Hill as an activator of the site, as an icon and a brand of the place, as a second hill in whole town, as an island and oasis, as a place for sport, play, as an open public reading room, as a natural amphitheatre... It consists of a simple green roof raising from the church towards the sky, covering the library buiding.

A Brewery in a City, a City in a Brewery
Štěpánek, Martin ; Poláček, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kopáčik, Gabriel (advisor)
Znojmo brewery complex, although there is a very attractive site of the historic center, one of the largest unused areas in the city. The recovery of this territory is a major task which will Znojmo face in the coming years. In a small town with little development potential, is probably not possible to expect a single realization of the operation, but rather a series of successive interventions.

B + B BARCELONA
Růžička, Tomáš ; Rudiš, Viktor (referee) ; Koleček, Ivan (advisor)
Barcelona – Highschool Barcelona – Vallcarca Vallcarca is a city district with very special character, rugged topography, heterogenous social structure and two different scales of constructions. It is also an important pedestrian connection between park Güell and other city parks. Soon, its probable, that considerable changes will happen here. Except the highschool, the objective was to create on our land a quality public space for students and also for Vallcarca and if possible to reuse the building of the old school. The public square is surrounded by highschool building, used by Vallcarca inhabitants. New public passage between two levels is planned, for better connection between Güell and other parks. The hisgh school is planned as four pavillions with different height, connected between them by private courtyards or public street. Students animate the public space, walking among the school functions. The principal entrance is against the old school building, its an open-air vestibule, coverred by pergola. The height of pavillions reacts on the landscape and the scale of surrounding buildings. Inside, the pavillions are composed of two tracts – the classes and the gallery. Every pavillion has two stairs and the gallery is in contact with the courtyard. At the ends of gallerie are student loggias, used as entertainment space. The same purpose has the hall in the ancient stone mine. On the other side of the street, the old school building is used as restaurant, with its facilities in the new extension. The public space is limited on the south side by new construction of the library.

An analysis of the state was a part of this work and as apart of the pre-diploma study. The area is set on the northen part of the historic center of the own of Znojmo. The main problem is the transport, for people unfreandly and illegible public space, calle the Freedom sguare, the contact of the different urbanistic structures, used just for parking the cars and growing the grass. The sollution slows down the transport, connects the green parts of the town. The space is designed to be friendlier and more pleasant and safe for people. The houses are designed as multifunctional with shops and living. the place must be atractive for walkers and bikers.

Gallery of modern architecture
Štrocholcová, Eva ; Ing. arch. Petra Žalmanová, Ph.D (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
Main task of the project was to create a proposal of Gallery of architecture which would be integrated into the residential colony in context of surrounding city structure. The plot is situated on south-west of the city part Brno-sever, in close connection with city centre, in steep slope. Currently, its function is a garden of adjacent plots. The plot is located close to the national cultural monument Villa Tugendhat, registered in The World Heritage List. Therefore, the new gallery should react to its existence. Proposal suggests locating of new object in north-eastern part of the plot for maximal usage of plot’s main potential that is a view to historical city centre. Main intention of design was a sensitive intervention to the area to keep calm atmosphere of surrounding residential colony with significant villas and to use potential and topographical advantages of the parcel. At the same time there was an effort to find a concept that would provides suitable conditions for exhibitions. The proposal tries to maximize usage of natural lighting which plays here an important role. Building seems to be a single storey object from the street. 2 floors are recessed into terrain and thanks to this overcome high difference between street and terrace in lower part of the plot. Object is divided into 3 functional units: The Gallery (exhibition area), The Studios (leasable space for architects for work and presentation of their projects) and The Theatre (space for other activities focused on architecture, such as lectures and projections). Walls and roofs of units are inclined to utilize potentials of site for the specific function and become polygonal shapes that meet the initial intention. Glassed inclined plane penetrates through the interior of gallery. It defines a spatial skylight that lets natural light from the north come to every corner of Gallery. It creates relationship between interior and exterior and connects all the functional units of the object.

Mikulášek Square Brno
Švéda, Petr ; Fišer, Jiří (referee) ; Odvárka, Antonín (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Ladislav (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis solves one of the buildings of an extensive designed urban area in Mikulášek Square in Starý Lískovec, Brno. The area is spreading between two rows of eight-floor-blocks. Main goal of this project is to preserve the green areas for recreation purposes and to create an urban square that will be used as a public space with all of the community functions. That goal is accomplished by using the green roofs, the buildings, sunken halfway under a surrounding terrain, and by the soil-covered back sides of building. That enables access to the roofs for public; roofs become a part of the park. The organic-shaped urban “double-square” is spanned by a pedestrian bridge for an easier traffic. The main idea of The Cultural Center proposal is based on variability of space. Around the cultural hall, from all four sides, there is a gallery, which enables wider usage (e. g. for an avant-garde theatre performance). A huge multi-level common and an exhibition space are ones of most important spaces. The visitors will be able to have an exhilarating experience of exciting dimension of space. The Cultural Center is connected to surroundings via both floors. That makes it possible to organize some outdoor cultural performances which can easily continue to the interior.
