NetZero – carbon neutral living in Brno
Dubanych, Yuliia ; Gebauer, Pavel (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The urban design of the area is a reaction to the spatial study prepared for the West Gate development location in Brno, which is surrounded by buildings of dominant importance: Bohunice University Hospital, Campus Square, Masaryk University faculties. The given location is unique in that it is one of the few in Brno where buildings can be placed high up, so in my proposal I actively work with the elevation level of the building. The height dominants are situated on the edges of the territory due to the course of the take-off corridor, but I also balance the overall composition of the territory with my position. The architectural solution of the proposed building responds to the urban structure and height of the buildings in the immediate vicinity. The parterre of the building respects the course of the original terrain, which is why the plinth is partially embedded with its mass underground. Operationally, the building is designed as accommodation for students with sales areas on the ground floor, which functionally complement the overall operation of the building. However, the building also has other services such as student coworking, which should primarily serve to gather a larger number of students for joint work or rest. Of course, the operation of the building is complemented by a functional public space, which it encloses with its shape.

NetZero – carbon neutral living in Brno
Dudáš, Matúš ; Gebauer, Pavel (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the design of an architectural study for two apartment buildings, which follows a previous urban study. The main goal of the diploma thesis is to design buildings with minimal carbon footprint throughout their entire life cycle, achieving a so-called NetZero state. The new district is designed urbanistically and functionally to provide residents with all necessary services while maintaining good connections with public transportation, thereby reducing the need for individual car transportation solutions. The area in question is located in Brno, in the Starý Lískovec locality, near the new tram stop Západná brána. It is an unused plot of land, bordered to the south by urban structures and to the north by administrative spaces including OC Campus Square, the University Campus Bohunice, and the Faculty Hospital Brno. To the east of the plot, there are planned construction projects focused on housing. The material composition of the apartment buildings combines low-carbon concrete and prefabricated CLT panels, supporting the sustainability of the buildings and the efficiency of construction. This hybrid approach minimizes CO2 emissions while providing the necessary strength and durability of the structures. CLT panels are a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional building materials and allow for faster construction. Both apartment buildings have similar operations. The underground level is designed with parking spaces for the apartment owners. On the ground floor, there is a parterre with smaller shops, a café, and a bar with outdoor seating between the new buildings. The upper floors house various types and sizes of residential units. The top floors feature duplex apartments with terraces and views.

NetZero – carbon neutral living in Brno
Thunová, Nicola Vanesa ; Gebauer, Pavel (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of an apartment block conceptually designed as a carbon-neutral building in Brno. The selected object is a continuation of the pre-diploma project PURE CITY, in which a set of buildings was designed as part of the urban study, which dealt with the issue of NET ZERO within the urban and social scale. The demarcated area is located in the cadastral area of Starý Lískovec on Jihlavská street near the new Západní Brána (West Gate) stop and not far from the campus of the Bohunice Faculty Hospital. The NET ZERO concept deals with sustainability and the effort to achieve a neutral balance of carbon footprints throughout the building's life cycle. The inner block is designed as a set of 8 housing sectors. The inner space of the park-like courtyard is used for staying and relaxing and is a completely private space for the residents of the block. The building in the corner parts reaches up to 7 above-ground floors, thus responding to the orientation to the cardinal points. In terms of shape, it prescribes a rational rectangular shape from the north side, but on the south side, the facade is slanted, as it was necessary to give way to the ongoing existing communication. The apartments are designed in several categories and mainly aim at the density of the population. The apartments are complemented by spacious balconies, and the apartments on the ground floor have terraces located at the street line, which demarcate public and private space with a double barrier and height difference. The height difference thus also responds to the descending terrain, which reaches a height difference of up to 3.5 m on the southern side. On the ground floors in direct contact with the street line, active parterres with smaller shops or services are designed, or WORK and LIVE housing units, which combine work environments, such as studios, with living space. These spaces are designed over 2 above-ground floors in the style of a loft apartment. The roof plane is designed as flat roofs in several height levels, on which are located private terraces for residential apartments, located on the highest floors, as well as community gardens for residents of the inner block, and a large part is occupied by an extensive green roof supplemented by photovoltaic panels for pumping solar energy.

Single-family house
Diblík, David ; Nespěšný, Ondřej (referee) ; Bečkovský, David (advisor)
The subject of this bachelor's thesis is the design of a new family house built from large-scale, multi-layered CLT panels, and the preparation of project documentation for the construction phase. The building is situated on a gently sloping site in the village of Račice near Dlouhé (Žďár nad Sázavou district). The concept and design respect the surrounding development and all mandatory municipal documents, particularly the zoning plan. The building consists of a single apartment, which, through its layout and material characteristics, corresponds with current technologies and elements in construction. On the ground floor, there is an entrance hall with a separate WC, a utility room, a living room with a kitchenette, and a bedroom with a separate dressing room leading to a private bathroom. The second floor is designed with two rooms each with its own dressing room, a study, and a shared bathroom. The family house is founded on strip foundations made of plain concrete, with vertical load-bearing and non-load-bearing elements made from massive wooden CLT panels. The exterior features include contact insulation using wood fiber insulation with façade plaster or ventilated wooden cladding. Horizontal load-bearing structures, such as the ceiling and flat roof with a waterproof membrane weighted down with washed river gravel, are constructed as ribbed ceilings with a limestone screed. The second floor is roofed with a gabled roof covered with aluminum standing seam panels, designed to accommodate photovoltaic panels and utilize alternative energy sources. The building is designed to have nearly zero energy consumption.

NetZero – carbon neutral living in Brno
Osipova, Valentina ; Gebauer, Pavel (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of student housing in the Brno – Západní brána location. The two residential buildings are designed in the concept of carbon neutrality - Net Zero - throughout their life cycle. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to take into account, on the one side, operational carbon, which arises during the actual use of the building and is mainly related to energy consumption during the building's operation, and, on the other side, embodied carbon, which enters the structure before the building is started to be used. The only material reducing the overall carbon footprint is wood, and for that reason Net Zero is difficult to achieve without considering the use of wood as a construction material. Zeroing the carbon footprint in the entire life cycle is only achievable if both of the above principles are followed. The main delaying factor on the way to carbon neutrality for the Czech Republic are the currently valid legislative requirements, especially in the field of fire safety, which do not allow the construction of wooden buildings higher than 12 m fire height. The newly prepared legislation, expected to take effect from mid-2025, should push this limit up to 22.5 m, i.e. to approx. 7 floors. For this reason, the project envisages a wooden supporting structure. The proposal is based on the studio work from the previous semester, where a new urban structure West. Vista. View was designed at Jihlavská street west of the Západní brána tram stop. The overall concept of the urban study takes into account the principles of Net Zero in urban planning, which are a city of short distances, density, orientation to the cardinal points, reduction of car traffic and creating a favorable microclimate. The proposed buildings are six-story residential buildings, where the ground floor houses common student spaces (coworking) and rentable spaces for other services. On the second to fifth above-ground floors, there are maisonette apartments, and on the upper sixth floor – single-floor mini-apartments of a higher standard. The underground floor is dedicated mainly to technical operations. One of the buildings is dealt with in more detailed way as a main theme of the diploma project. It is a corner building located on the local square.

Winery Plchut
Charvátová, Michaela ; Muroň, Ivo (referee) ; Ležatka, Lukáš (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the design of a new building of the family winery Plchut in Mutěnice. The design is based on the project developed in the course Architectural Design Studio 2 (AG032). The site itself is located on the north-western hillside of Zadní Hora at an altitude of 183 m above sea level, about 2 km from the centre. Almost at the end of a long cellar lane (Vinařská Street) leading from the centre of the village. The plot belongs to the area of ''Vinné búdy''. There is a rapid slope along the entire length of the plot, which is moderated in 2/3 of the plot towards the south-eastern side. The complex is accessible by a main visitor entrance via a paved road from the local road (Vinařská Street) and an entrance for staff and equipment from the adjacent side road leading to the vineyards. In the design, attention was paid to functionality, sufficient handling area and maintaining a simple and minimalist appearance. Therefore, the building is partially embedded in the ground. This hides a large amount of the overall mass of the complex. The buried objects take advantage of the thermal stability of the soil to cool the interior of the warehouses and production hall. All the buildings surround the handling yard and define its area with their volume, which also defines the production part of the whole complex. In order to visibly separate the public area used by visitors and the production area for employees, the building is divided into 2 height levels. The use of a combination of gabled tin and flat green roofs achieves a similarity to the surrounding wine cellars. The roofs and height differences and different finishes divide the overall building into multiple smaller units so that the overall building does not interfere so much with the building rhythm and order of the entire cellar alley.

FCK Technology bro
Motyčková, Natálie ; Ponešová, Barbora (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to design a housing complex that meets ecological and passive standards and uses smart and intuitive ways to design a building without excessive use of technology during construction. The work thus reflects the current problems of society such as climate change, the housing crisis and other problems of a global scale. My primary effort was to imply knowledge about ecological and passive buildings to my design and to build responsibly and with respect for the future. The housing complex is therefore designed from ecological materials, the construction system consists of CLT panels, which are an advantageous material for the construction of apartment buildings due to simple assembly, prefabrication and the possibility of functional variability. My intention was to create pleasant and comfortable housing that provides its inhabitants with contact with nature not only through the surrounding landscape, but also through the very materiality of the building.
