Májek, Jan ; Koutný, Jan (referee) ; Rudiš, Viktor (referee) ; Budkeová, Branislava (referee) ; Glosová, Dagmar (advisor)
"The compact forms of housing" is a term with which the Czech interior design yet do not often occur. This concept densely built low-rise residential files yet carries a strong potential not only in matters of mere living, but also offers one of the progressive alternative ways of living environment in general. Examined form of residential buildings is becoming increasingly important especially in specific situations where conventional housing is failing and instead generates other social problems. This thesis is primarily seeking the maximum extent available to document the issue of a compact housing, describe its basic form and point out the historical roots of this typology. The acquired knowledge was then subjected to an in-depth analysis, the output of which is to be the most comprehensive characterization researched the topic and its inclusion in the context of the standard forms of housing. The result is a set of research information, assumptions and typological bases that determine the primary urban, architectural, or social limits of the residential category. This work attempts to take into account the specified topic in the broader context of housing as a basic human need. As a result of findings would be its contribution to the culture scene in our home and create a theoretical material that would become an essential information base for creating compact residential files. The conclusions of this research can be further developed, tested and refined in the educational process at the faculties of architecture or in the practice. The results of research could stimulate interest in this type of housing and contribute to the enrichment of Czech housing scene of a synthetic form, which will form the connecting link between the typological family house and an apartment building. Low-rise housing complexes with a high population density can also create an effective counterbalance to the typical suburban development of part-time family home and offer method, respectively one of the alternative ways to be with this dilapidated urban housing estate deal.

Baugruppe Now
Šťastná, Anna ; Císler, Ondřej (referee) ; Hora, Jan (advisor)
Baugruppe, as an alternative option for housing, is made up of a group of people who are looking for a way to create their own housing according to their ideas. They become developers themselves, looking for interesting solutions for their housing that the regular real estate market does not offer. Together, they find land that is often less attractive to ordinary developers and compromise to decide on all the design steps. For the proposed Baugruppe, the site is situated in the town Znojmo, Czech republic. The plots were chosen in such a way that they did not have any particular qualities - on the contrary, that they were rather places that were not at first sight very attractive. The theme of the work is to portray the Baugruppe way of living as community housing. The proposal seeks to figure out a way to make community coexistence as natural as possible for all Baugruppe participants. Whether just meeting the neighbors on the way to their apartments, meeting on the terrace with a friend from the opposite apartment or organizing an event in the common interior/exterior spaces for all Baugruppe participants. All these spaces create a slightly different atmosphere and become a combination of different small worlds that intertwine with each other. At the same time, the aim of the work is to create a house that opens up to its surroundings while allowing all the events of the house to take place undisturbed inside.

Kopřivnice – Housing along Kopřivnička
Kóňová, Patrícia ; Mašek, Radomír (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The prefabricated apartment buildings are on the west bank of the river and family houses on the east bank of the river. On the east side there are private areas of family houses and on the west side there are prefabricated buildings with poor quality public spaces. There is only the anonymity of the city, isolation and a lack of human dimension. My concept solves the problem of combining two opposing approaches. It emphasizes neighborly relations in the form of community and the development of community thinking. What should urbanism that unites people look like?

Housing neighbourhood at Brno-Líšeň
Uřídilová, Valentýna ; Hybská, Bohumila (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The solved area with an area of approximately 4.2 hectares is the eastern part of the statutory city of Brno. It is located in the city of Brno Líšeň on the border of a row of village character with a small scale (old Líšeň) and loose construction of point, board and typified high-rise houses from the 20th century (new Líšeň). The aim of the project is to find a dialogue between the loose structure of the new Líšeň and the town-building structure of the old one. With its masses it creates clearly defined streets and spaces. At the same time, there is an effort to loosen the mass and to integrate it into the near nature with its form. The idea design is based on the principle of cohousing (community housing), which is designed for living in family houses and apartment buildings. The main idea of the project is to respond to today's individualized and automated time, when construction has ceased to focus on the formation of shared spaces = interpersonal relationships, it increasing anonymity and isolation. Basic social interactions, mutually beneficial relations between neighbors are disappearing. It is also a response to the disintegration of the traditional family and can replace family background. In the architectural form it also solves the issue of uniformity, the loss of human scale in modern construction. The emphasis in the project is on the diversity of types of apartments and on a diverse range of public, semi-public, semi-private and private spaces.

NEW ON THE „OLD“ – Brno, Bratislavská - Stará Corner
Maťaťa, Tomáš ; Chmelař, Ivo (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The apartment complex comprises eight dwelling units which share a common courtyard. The staircases and lifts are placed in between the individual objects. They are part of a semi-public space, so residents do not feel anonymous as in the case enclosed corridors. Before entering their flat, resident gets in contact not only with neighbors, but also with the community and the street. Facades and staircases do not split the street and residential space, but rather serve as a gradual transition between the public and private space. Flats become part of the street and the courtyard through balconies. The contact between the resident is growing: flat- balcony- terrace- courtyard. Disposition is a result of the resident´s needs. Individual rooms are defined using partition panels. Residents decide themselves where the partition is places, whether the flat is open or divided into rooms. The flats can change their arrangements and sizes depending on the number of household members.

Living on the outskirts of the city
Sedláčková, Jana ; Malečková, Kateřina (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor) ; Brzoň, Roman (advisor)
The goal of the bachelor's thesis is to design housing that will meet the requirements of modern urban housing and will draw the benefits of suburban housing in the outskirts at the same time. The design was based on the author's previous work in the architectural design studio, which focused mainly on the analytical and design part, with the conclusion of an architectural study. The subject of this bachelor thesis is the creation of design documentation of Housing in the outskirts of the city. The documentation for a building permission and the documentation for production design were simplified for the purposes of the bachelor's thesis. The aim of the work is to create a proposal and prove its feasibility in accordance with Czech laws and standards. The proposal shows the possibility of contemporary living, which uses the advantages of community living (common areas such as garage, cellar, utility room; lower energy consumption) and also excels in the possibilities of individual living, which is characterized by a separate entrance and a separate garden or terrace. The design combines both types of housing, which are typically named buildings such as apartment building and family house. However, the proposal goes beyond these titles and seeks its definition in words such as villahouse.

Brno Connectivity / Brno Democratic City
Vašková, Vendula ; Hrivňáková, Klára (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
Living in a city means living with other people. We share streets, squares, and parks. When we come home, we become individualists. The concept is based on connectivity. The project focuses on connecting people, it blurs the boundaries between public and private space. The project aims to redefine the connection between public and private space. I work with this approach in both outdoor and indoor spaces. I create a sequence of several interconnected spaces that will lead the residents from the busy city to the privacy of their rooms. The project focuses on the design of community housing. Neighbors don't share a place, they share a life.

Space to live
Pekař, Jan ; Likavčan, Maroš (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
This master thesis is devoted to the issue of healthy living in the Brno urban gap. Due to the trend of urbanization and densification of housing, it is increasingly difficult to find a suitable environment for healthy living. Therefore, the thesis tries to find a solution how we can design a house, its layout and interior furnishings for healthy living even in these difficult conditions. During the previous semester of the pre-dissertation, I have interviewed experts and based on these interviews, I propose appropriate layouts and interior features. These elements were designed to promote the health and well-being of the occupants. These elements include such things as the placement and characteristic of lights or lighting, materials or interior elements that promote healthy human development. One of the main objectives of the work is to show that even in areas with limited space, natural light,natural greenery it is possible to create healthy living. The thesis also tries to answer questions about the impact of modern technologies and new trends such as home office, or other options for working and studying from home, and to show how we can minimize this impact through appropriate design of the apartment building. Overall, this thesis addresses current issues such as diseases of affluence, major lifestyle changes caused by the development of modern technology that our dwellings have not been able to adapt to. It shows how it is possible to design healthy housing even in spaces where it may be initially difficult and how such a solution can help to minimize the impact of modern times on the health of the inhabitants.

At first, this paper concentrates on wide continuity of issues like specifics of people with learning disabilities and the changes into their care in Czech environment, which in last years are primarily related to process of social services transformation and deinstitutionalization. Oftentimes, the result of this effort is sheltered and community housing establishment.
