HOW TO MOVE ON WHEN THE STATION IS GONE?
Jálová, Kateřina ; Illéš, Juraj (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The diploma thesis is based on the pre-diploma project, which deals with the vacant buildings after the railway is moved from the center of Brno to the newly proposed location of the transport hub according to the KAM study. The diploma project focuses specifically on the heritage-listed building of the Brno main railway station. The aim is to find a suitable function for this building and to integrate it into the context between the historic center and the newly built southern quarter. The proposal also solves the building's surroundings, which include the area of the vacant railway track and the station forecourt with its complex traffic situation, which has been one of the least popular public spaces in the city for many years.

HOW TO MOVE ON WHEN THE STATION IS GONE?
Valíček, Viktor ; Illéš, Juraj (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
HOW TO MOVE ON WHEN THE STATION IS GONE? "I'll tell you how. It will be pretty crappy!" (visitor to the exhibition of the same name as the pre-graduate analytical project, 2024) The purpose of the urbanistic-architectural inquiry entitled "How to move on when the station is gone?" is particularly focused on the scenario where several historically protected buildings of significant urban importance in Brno lose their function due to the relocation of a major railway junction. That means, for the preservation of a functional city structure, it is necessary to find a new and equally significant utilization. Especially considering the location and real as well as abstract significance of these buildings. A crucial aspect is the location at the interface between the newly emerging city district in a brownfield area without identity and the oldest historic city center. Former structures associated with the railway aspire to become new significant urban landmarks capable of mediating the soul and identity of Brno to the new district. Connection is the main theme introduced by the urbanistic concept for the conversion of the area, developed in collaboration with the atelier colleagues Šimon Mareček and Kateřina Jálová. The study also builds upon the ideas of the Office of the Architect of the City of Brno, especially the concept of completing the green urban circuit (following the example of Vienna's Ringstrasse) and the idea of revealing the historic so-called Ferdinand Viaduct. The area is further divided into three consecutive sections (subtitles of three diploma theses). This work primarily focuses on the conversion of the released Amerika building and the newly designed urban space 'underlining the dominant feature of Brno - the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul'. "If a book of unfinished pages lies in front of us, its structure is already inscribed in the essence of the work itself." (Prof. Ivan Koleček, 2010) Amerika possesses an amazing genius loci and great potential to become a significant landmark for its surroundings. The "book of unfinished pages" of the former warehouse building has a structure so distinct and valuable that its violent rewriting would border on sacrilege. The building needs to be approached with extreme sensitivity, highlighting its qualities and adapting the space to new functions with necessary delicate interventions to avoid the destruction of the "structure of the work itself". The project aims to improve access to the building, creating connections with the adjacent park to the east through the revealed Ferdinand Viaduct and with the future city street with multifunctional buildings to the west. Better accessibility of the building is ensured by a level connection leading through a symbolic gate from the newly designed houses opening onto the proposed square beneath Petrov (the Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul) to the main urban transport hub.

HST Station at the Airport Brno Tuřany
Viktora, Jakub ; Hladík, Antonín (referee) ; Nový, Alois (advisor)
High-speed corridor is the future of travellibg. Many Eauropian states have begun with building it a few years ago and it works well. The Czech Republic still does not have this form of transport, but due to the location it will be necessary to build high quality railways even here for the future connection across Europe. This thesis deals with the construction of high-speed train stop (the HST) nearby the airport Brno Turany. The service follows the previous semestral work - Brno main railway station. The HST station building is drafted as a bridge over the rail and the platforms, it works not only as a check-in and waiting area but also like a pedestrian crossing over the corridor. The solid responds to the airport nearby and used bridge construction to smartly takes roof up. Public parts are at ground level, technical background and maintenance are located along the platforms below the ground level.

New South District and its Connection to Svratka
Boček, Adam ; Hybská, Bohumila (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The subject of the thesis is a part of the South Center of Brno. After a long period of time, the locality is starting to "wake up to life", thanks to the fact that after a few decades it was finally decided on the fate and location of the Central Station. Thus, it is expected to expand the city in a southern direction. Then incorporate adjacent areas to the center. The thesis follows the project from 2018, the subject of which was the design of an urban concept of a territorial unit defined by Opuštěná Street, the Lower Railway Station, the Svratka River and the planned new urban class located on the visual axis of Cathedral (st. Petr and Pavel). Therefore, the thesis deals with the architectural study of a part of this area, situated near the river Svratka, on the border of the newly emerging city embankment. It is a multifunctional block, with predominant use for housing with 136 apartments for about 450 inhabitants. This block is further divided into 3 buildings, which have two underground floors providing technological background, and parking spaces for the entire multifunctional block. Further, the architectural study focuses on one of these polyfunctional block objects and processes it in more detail. The building of the residential building, called "A" in the study, provides a total of 47 apartments. And in the ground floor of the building there are rentable spaces for various uses. The effort of the proposal was to create quality living in a unique location on the waterfront and provide the inhabitants with a view of the Svratka River and the park on the opposite bank, even though it is almost in the city center.

To Dvur Kralove by train - Transfer Terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem
Machainová, Eva ; Dýr, Petr (referee) ; Žalmanová, Petra (advisor)
The thesis deals with the design of the transfer terminal in Dvůr Králové nad Labem. The territory for the new terminal is located between the industrial and residential areas. The concept of a proposal is to create a securely accessible place for pedestrians and cyclists, given the fact that locals are most often transported by bicycle or on foot. At the same time, I try to create a pleasant and easy-to-understand place, which will provide new visitors with a place to get the necessary information and for permanent passengers a place they will feel safe and will use the terminal. The secured access to the terminal becomes by a diversion of a part of the transport so that a pleasant park can be created on the eastern part of the land towards the city, which will support the relationship of the area to the city thanks to the better pedestrian and bicycle accessibility of the terminal. The park will be separated from the road by trees and inside the park there will be only low shrubs to make the park clear and there are no unpleasant looking corners. At the same time, it will be the first experience for arriving visitors to the city after leaving the terminal.

To Dvur Kralove by train - Transfer Terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem
Šlesingerová, Veronika ; Hora, Jan (referee) ; Ponešová, Barbora (advisor)
The subject of this architectural and urban study is to design a new transfer terminal in Dvůr Králové nad Labem. The terminal has to associate the existing bus lines and the new train line using the existing track, which connects to the train station located on the outskirts of the city. At the same time, the town deals with the issue of train and bus services. It came with a proposal to extend the track closer to the city and at the same time move the existing bus station to one place. This creates a direct train-bus transfer. The aim of the project, however, is to design not only the transport terminal, but to create a new public space with the use of the city itself.

To Dvur Kralove by train - Transfer Terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem
Čánský, Pavel ; Odvárka, Antonín (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to design a train and a bus terminal attached to the city centre by a new pedestrian area, which is separated from the industrial area by a housing development. Since the current access to the property is very poor, another aim of this project is to design a new access road. There are a number of aspects taken into account, i.e. the scale of the city and its surroundings, a current housing development such as Tesco store and a Christmas decoration factory. What is also considered is the dimensions of the nearby buildings, which determine the dimensions of the design project. The project promotes the emergence of an urban area with new facilities such as a concert hall, post office, police station, parks, stores, indoor swimming pool and gallery.

To Dvur Kralove by train - Transfer Terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem
Livovská, Lucia ; Odvárka, Antonín (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The goal of the thesis was to create a transfer terminal for bus and train traffic which would reroute the entire local and intercity transportation into one spot closer to the city center. The plan is divided into three zones with each fulfilling its role by its location. A transfer bus and train terminal is conceptualized in the center of the of the building plot as the most prominent point. Administrative buildings are located to the south of the terminal so as to separate the building plot from the factory located underneath. Civic amenities are located north of the terminal which are used by the travelers and citizens from the area further north from the building plot. A small city park is located near this zone with respect to the large amount of greenery on the entire building plot.

To Dvur Kralove by train - Transfer Terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem
Vítková, Kateřina ; Odvárka, Antonín (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
It is a project of a transfer terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem, which is to allow easy transfer of train / bus. New terminal include additional features and services. I also focused on the connection to the surroundings, creating a new vision for the solution of the whole territory, which border street 28th of October, Benesovo nabrezi, Alesova and Dvorakova streets. Along the Alesova Street are designed multifunctional houses with underground parking. Between the terminal and the residence there is a park that allows access to the train and bus in several directions. On the side of Benesovo nabrezi, I placed an indoor pool with a wellness center. There is also a café with an outdoor terrace, a bicycle storage room, a bicycle rental and an information tourist center. The main station building also includes a post office, a grocery store and a bakery.
