Townhouse
Baková, Erika ; Smola, Jaroslav (referee) ; Ležatka, Lukáš (advisor)
This master's thesis focuses on a complex architectural and urban design of a multifunctional urban block in the historic center of Brno at the level of architectural study. The project aims to harmoniously integrate new buildings into the historical context of the city and respect the surrounding urban fabric. The proposal addresses the completion of an existing urban block and the creation of a new urban block between Veveří and Kounicova streets, thus creating a new Závodní street. The design preserves a memorial tree as a key element of the public space; the facade of the building steps away from it, creating a public space of a piazzetta with the memorial tree as the focal point. As part of the blue-green infrastructure, new greenery is integrated into the streets, and buildings with flat roofs have vegetated roofs with photovoltaic panels designed. The architectural solution includes two underground floors for parking, a ground floor with an active commercial ground floor with shops and a supermarket, and five above-ground floors with residential units. The last above-ground floor is set back from the rest. The urban design focuses on slowing down busy traffic and puts pedestrians in a dominant position. The architectural design respects the character of the area and combines traditional forms with a modern appearance. The structural solution of the building combines a reinforced concrete skelet system with a ceramic wall system. The project exploits the potential of land use and brings up to 399 new residential units ranging from 1+kk to 4+kk, with higher standard apartments on the last setback above-ground floor.

Townhouse
Palata, Jiří ; Dokoupilová Pazderková, Kateřina (referee) ; Ležatka, Lukáš (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis is the design of a set of town houses within the Veveří, Pekárenská, Kounicova and Závodní blocks in Brno. The town house represents a historical archetype that represents the ideal functional composition of the building within the compact structure of the development in the wider center of Brno. The polyfunctionality of individual houses consists of a vertical functional division, where the ground floor is usually home to commercial units intended for catering, trade, administration or small production. Urban blocks, by their closure, firmly define the boundary between private and public. Public space is fairly dedicated to all. The non-public inner block is dedicated only to residents, which provides a rare added value with its functional content from recreational sports, relaxation, gardening. Some apartments are also oriented towards the inner block, which have direct contact between the interior and the exterior. On the higher floors, access to the exterior is ensured by means of loggias, balconies and terraces of stepped floors. Part of the inner block is dedicated to a single-storey supermarket, the capacity of which follows on from the existing operation. The roof of the supermarket is a connected part of the terrain of the inner block. On the roof there is a recreational multifunctional playground, an active sports area, a terrace connected to the community hall and a community sauna. All sections have access to a shared courtyard for residents. The underground parking is situated on two floors, separated from the parking for residents and visitors to the supermarket and other commercial units. The character and spatial solution of the objects is based on knowledge of the place and the surrounding objects, which are located in the city's heritage zone on the near border of the Brno city heritage reserve. The building thus brings a new architectural layer to the place with respect for its surroundings. The building is divided by urban-architectural details, such as stepped floors, accented corners, risality, gabled roof gables, vertical material solution of the facade or the same rectangular format of vertical window openings. However, the architectural solution inspired by history is dressed in a contemporary coat, which ensures the careful use of energy, rainwater management, the support of biodiversity and, with its positive approach to the human scale, the support of social sustainability. Vegetation areas for rainwater management are located not only on roofs, but also on facades, specifically on railings, which are the subject of a separate architectural detail solution. In addition to individual town houses, the proposal also includes the creation of the structure and character of public spaces. In particular, the character of the city street Veveří is strengthened, the new Závodní street is created and the character of the existing service streets is adjusted, in which the pedestrian is favored over the driver, and adequate traffic calming solutions were chosen with the aim of supporting mobility by public transport. Professor Chudoba's memorial tree is the centerpiece of the new important public space, with its parameters of a patch. A majestic tree closes the interior of this space and creates an ideal environment for meetings with the possibility of a longer stay thanks to the situated catering facilities.

REVITALIZATION OF ČKD FORMER FACTORIES IN PRAGUE, VYSOČANY
Formánek, Jakub ; Zemánek, Václav (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
Prague and other cities in the Czech republic are currently struggling with a housing crisis, which causes raising of prices of houses and apartments. For many people it is an unapproachable goal to own a place. Suburb living projects are a slightly cheaper option, although they increase transportation demands and it is not a sustainable option in general. The city government is trying to support transformations of industrial areas - former factories or abandoned buildings – called brownfields. Vysočany district has changed a lot recently. Former industrial areas are demolished and replaced by new residential or administrative buildings. All the development projects have one thing in common – the absence of something that connects them into urban structure. The aim of this project is to desing a new construction instead of former CKD factories, which are not used anymore. Three new urban blocks nearby Kolbenova street are trying to respect other buildings around (if possible) and create a standard for future development. Also, they support the effort of the city council to create a lively boulevard on Kolbenova street. The project is designed as a polyfunctional unit to remain active during the whole day. The concept comprises urban residental blocks, administrative buildings and public spaces.

Hodálová, Lenka ; Jura, Pavel (referee) ; Pelčák, Petr (advisor)
The area of town part called Ring is situateted in Brno surrounded by Cejl, Křenová, Vlhká and Kolište Street. The main aim of the urban design is to provide the complete rehabilitation of the urban structure. The incompletely and accidentally arranged build- up area with many sandlots should be replaced with the traditional compact blocks which enable the create streets, boulevards, roads, green belts and a new piazetta. This design divides the border between private and public space. It counts with the replacement of the railway and bus station. There is designed the urban block with the dominance of the building function between the Cejl and Vlhká Street in the close neighborhood of old Edison factory. Another part of this block is created by the group of public buildings- Sport centre and Art school. There is also a hotel and an administrative building connecting few magistracies in the one place. The sport centre is divided into seven storeys respecting the fact that some storeys are 9 metres high if it requires the character of the sport space. There is a volume suitable for the basketball hall which can be reached from the entrance or from the second level. There one can found fitness centre, rehabilitation and relax centre, indoor golf, badminton, climbing wall, space for aerobic or zumba on the next floors. There is a restaurant offering the unique view on the town on the top of the building. The roof of the basketball hall is green with the minigolf. The essential component of the design is façade with blinds which enables the dynamically changing appearance of the building.

Annen Gate
Illéš, Ján ; Eichlerová, Eva (referee) ; Kopáčik, Gabriel (advisor)
A multifunctional city block is designed for the currently empty place in Brno, on the corner of Pekarská and Anenská streets. The urban, architectural and material-spatial solution tries to respect the scale and cultural-historical context of the place. The proposed main function of housing is enlivened by additional functions of administration and trade and services on the ground floor. The corner is an important compositional point and the proposed round and glazed shape of the building will form a visual dominant on the view from Pekarská Street. In the city block, the inner space of the courtyard is created, in which the historical heritage of the retaining wall of the hill on which the church once stood is presented. The passage through the city block is possible in the route of the former street U sv. Anny. The lack of green spaces in the courtyard is compensated by the creation of green roofs for residents and users. The architectural expression of the townhouse tries to follow the traditions of modernism, typical for the city of Brno.

Design of a sustainable urban structure - based on a medieval city - for the 21st century.
Dutka, Tomáš ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The assignment of diploma thesis was the design of a sustainable urban structure based on a medieval city in Náměšť nad Oslavou. As part of the work, I tried to find the best solution for this solved area, which is isolated by a railway corridor and suggest a new city district based on the principle of a medieval city, which will be linked to the existing city. The proposed development of city blocks is built on a system of platforms that level the terrain within the blocks and enable optimal parking spaces and the use of commercials. This development is complemented by several blocks with villa houses and a city SPA complex. The proposal supports the construction of cycle paths that connect parts of the solved area with the Rathan recreation pond. The design also includes a large park with a lookout tower and a sports ground on the city horizon ner the SPA complex. The accent was also placed on the public area near the new railway station, which serves to gather people for cultural and entertainment opportunities. This public space should not compete with an existing Masaryk square, which fulfills a representative and administration function.

Chomjaková, Zuzana ; Rudiš, Viktor (referee) ; Pelčák, Petr (advisor)
The new urban structure is based on a moving out of the railway and bus station. These parcels are used as public places. It is a new large city park and underground two-storey parking house. All is opened to the street Koliště by new retail spaces. The old structure of a viaduct is preserved in part from 19th Century. The viaduct has a new direction and connection with a city centre. It is a new pedestrian corridor for citizens and residents of blocks of flats connected with that line in the same level. The Six-storey office buildings are playing role of a sound isolation for these living areas. The theme of diploma thesis is one urban block consisted of a two parts. One part is office buildings and the second one is blocks of flats. It is retail and parking on the first floor. The entrance of this new part of the city is accented by the tower of luxury flats with magnificent view on the city panorama and two large roof terraces. The entrance level inside of the block is raised to the line of the viaduct. Two floors under this level are designed for a parking. This green area serves for residents of flats and their free time activities.
