How will we live together?
Wintner, Roman ; Kocián, Václav (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
In my thesis How We Will Live Together I deal with the phenomenon of participatory housing. The first phase of the thesis is a research in which I analyse types of community housing from abroad, I examine the history of collective housing in the Czech Republic. I focus on different possibilities of participation within housing, which I demonstrate with real examples. I try to point out the still insufficient support of similarly oriented projects that could have a positive impact on the development of the housing issue in the country. In the second phase of the thesis, I develop a characterization of a fictive group of people, a community, on which I try to demonstrate the functioning and feasibility of a participatory housing project and the bottom-up model. The result is an architectural design on the site of the former sugar factory in Šlapanice, taking into account the interests and needs of the site and the community. It is a kind of reflection pointing out the possibilities and variability of the implementation of such a project in specific Czech conditions. I am basing my ideas on a foreign model, which I am trying to transfer to the territory of a more relaxed development. An important consideration in the work is given to the questions of the future in connection with housing. In the project I am working with the design of 5 different buildings, one of which also serves as a common centre for the community. The buildings are characterised by different approaches to design according to the individuality of the group of owners. I bring further considerations of possible functioning through the different zoning of the plots without strict subdivision and the different approach to the use of cars. As a paradoxical response of future housing, I bring a return to tradition and customs similar to the village environment. Not only in connection with cultivation, poultry farming, escape from hecticness, but especially with an orientation towards real values and healthy relationships, which can be mediated precisely by participatory housing.

Architecture in the era of housing crisis
Hobzová, Petra ; Jourová, Drahoslava (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
My diploma thesis is based on a pre-diploma project with the same name, namely "Architecture in the Time of the Housing Crisis." In the theoretical part, together with two female classmates, we analyzed the development of housing from the industrial revolution to current housing trends around the world within the framework of different time sectors. The result is a detailed analysis of topics that, in our opinion, are connected to the housing crisis, whether it is a historical or a current one. We also analyzed the current principles of participatory housing, which can be a suitable path for the Czech Republic to more affordable housing within various social groups. I myself was interested in the approach of the city of Brno and its pilot project of affordable cooperative housing. Cooperative housing is an advantageous combination of ownership and rental housing. This is mainly a very good solution for young families who cannot afford a mortgage due to a lack of funds. Funds for the construction of the apartment are provided by the cooperative, the tenant - member of the cooperative makes an initial membership deposit and the rest of the share is paid in the form of rent. A cooperative member rents an apartment from the cooperative, and after paying off the loan, the apartment becomes his property. I design commercial areas and common areas as part of houses, usually on the ground floor of houses. The four- and five-story apartment buildings have shared roof terraces. Residents of all apartment buildings share common gardens where they grow their own vegetables and plants. Together, they also take care of operation and maintenance, when shared spaces can be rented out for other temporary use. Commercial premises procure a regular financial contribution for the cooperative, which gradually repays the construction loan. As part of my diploma thesis, I decided to create an apartment complex in the countryside, as a comfortable multi-generational living, which will meet the standards of the present time. The advantage of this location is the close accessibility to the center of Brno in connection with public transport. For my solution, I chose the abandoned site of Kohn's brickyard on Červené kopci. Currently, there is a brownfield and a large horticulture colony.
