Peace Square in Brno
Srbecká, Michaela Sara ; Kaštánková, Jana (referee) ; Františák, Luboš (advisor)
My bachelor´s thesis is an urban-architectural study with the primary goal set to define the new Peace Square with a newly designed polyfunctional building. The architectural design of each floor is included. The second goal of my thesis is to design and transform the new demarcated square into a well-functioning public space full of greenery, with respect and humility for the place.

To Finish the Body of the City
Vitkovič, Michal ; Kosek, Filip (referee) ; Hora, Jan (advisor)
The proposal verifies the possibilities of completing the land on the edge of the historic centre in the form of a city block, within the extreme limits set by its narrow dimensions. The apparent disadvantages - the spatial limitation and the position on a slope - become an opportunity to create a variety of atmospheres and situations, different levels of height, partitions and connections. The concept reflects the phenomena of city coalescence, the end of the dominance of cars, addressing the lack of affordable housing and increasing the density of the city and place. The infill of the mixed-use building consists mainly of flats designed for population groups threatened by the current housing crisis - young people and the socially disadvantaged. The housing programme is complemented by council flats. The proposal seeks to provide service, leisure and social opportunities. The flats have private gardens located on green roofs and communal seating areas. An important part of the block is the community centre. In line with the concept of short distances, there are also shops and a café with a bookshop on the ground floor. In the part of the plot close to the city centre we find a small public square with greenery. Parking is located mostly in a semi-flooded basement, which gradually rises to the terrain and creates a platform for residential buildings. The contrast of the concrete base and the brick linear blocks is the main characteristic of the simple facades. The new urban block also reshapes the character of the surrounding streets, humanising them and integrating the urban fabric.
