New South District and its Connection to Svratka
Nedbalová, Monika ; Hybská, Bohumila (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
Brno has been considering moving the Main railway station for several decades. Countless urban plans have been done through several competitions, the new South District, which will be located north direction of today's Dolní nádraží station in the future. The architectural study, which was the subject of this diploma thesis, designs multifunctional object called Platform. The building could become part of the emerging South District. The base for the architectural study of the Platform was urban concept of South District designed by me as a pre-diploma thesis. The significance of the South District is comparable to the new Main Railway Station in Vienna surrounded by new district. Those opportunities were the foundation for designing compact urban structure with great variability of public spaces and buildings themselves. The new building is located on the Route of experiences, which is an alternative lane to the main boulevard from the Main Station to the centre of Brno. That starts at the railway station, leads through South District and its main square, the waterfront, through the islands of Svratka, to the park next to the river. Lane continues to the rediscovered railway viaduct and further to today's Main railway station. The viaduct was an inspiration for the architectural design, in the sense of material and shape. The mass of the building itself is divided horizontally into two parts. The lower, heavy masonry brick part of the market is visually separated from the upper objects that seem to levitate above the market. These three upper masses grow from the green roof of the market. Their function is already evident due to their facades. Upper part belongs to the two apartment buildings with a regular grid of south-west orientated windows and one coworking facility located in the northern corner of the Platform. The location of the building is significant. The views from the Platform are amazing - one side there is the Svratka River with island
The Municipal Library of Frýdek-Místek
Habartová, Vendula ; Nový, Vítězslav (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor thesis introduces a concept of the urban library in Frydek - Mistek. The main topic is to optimize the utilization of the public space which currently serves as parking place. The goal is to incorporate this space to the current structure of the city and create environment for local public events. A potential threat seems to be busy traffic which will be eliminated by a new highway being built around the city. The purpose of the project is to revive the place architecturally as well as culturally. The old non-functional buildings will be demolished, and their functions will be transformed into the new objects. The study also counts with the extension of the Small Square and creating extra space between the library and the new market hall. The library is made with three substances fitting in together: dark opaque gallery, soft lighting and a coffee bar which opens straight to the new square.
Market Hall
Stloukalová, Tereza ; Šmak, Milan (referee) ; Barnat, Jan (advisor)
The work is focused on the design and assessment of the steel structure. It is a three-aisle hall of the Market Hall, 6.5m high, with plan dimensions 18x30m. The supporting structure consists of sawtooth trusses, which are mounted on swinging uprights. The spatial rigidity of the structure is ensured by longitudinal and transverse stiffeners. The entire structure is designed in S235 steel. The cladding is made of sandwich insulation panels.
Countryside 3.0
Přikrylová, Monika ; Kekel, Roman (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The proposal follows up on the undergraduate semester work which dealt with a topic of data centers - a lifestyle based on data circulation. Growing needs of city dwellers, coupled with the demand of constant connectivity, are reflected in the transformation of the landscape which is being occupied by gigantic data centers. Those data centres in the loopback reconfigure the environment of cities that use their instant and "unlimited" computing power. The landscape is becoming the engine room of digital urban life. The thesis develops social and environmental issues of "continuity between a city and a country” and outlines a problem of self-sufficiency and awareness of the energy intensity of current urban lifestyle. In my work I focus on one of the by-products of data centers. That is waste heat, which has a negative effect on the quality and lifespan of electronic components - it is undesirable. Data center entrepreneurs have found a way to divert unfavourable attention from the debate about the energy demand of big data. They transform waste into a desired commodity by replacing conventional forms of heating with a system newly based on the supply of waste heat. Therefore, they are becoming significant suppliers of thermal energy. The phenomenon of heat recycling neutralizes external criticism of big data by making urban life literally dependent on it. The sustainable future of data center operations takes place largely without critical debate. On the contrary, it confirms data production as a process that literally drives everyday life. This new wave of green techno-optimism and related implementations is shrouded in a discourse of innovation, environmental friendliness and smart data processing. The diploma thesis deals with the phenomenon of commodification of waste heat of a specific data center, and its potential for symbolic and material transformation of the urban environment. The critical dimension of this transformation allows visitors to literally experience first-hand the manipulation of the climate of a specific location - the new city market in Brno. Other issues arise in connection with the recycling of waste heat. What will happen when big data streams become a raw material to replace older forms of energy supply in an urbanized world? What will be the impact on the city´s heating, the economic and symbolic importance of data center entrepreneurs?
