Prison Story
Štefková, Dominika ; Petermann, Tomáš (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The thesis is a continuation of a pre-diploma project on the stigmatization of buildings and society's perception of buildings that do not have the most pleasant past behind them. The project deals with the question of the new use of the decaying prison in Uherské Hradiště. Through a meaningful program, it seeks to bring the building back to life and incorporate the current 19th century time bubble back into the urban fabric, while not obscuring the grim past of the site. The thesis is a continuation of a pre-diploma project on the stigmatization of buildings and society's perception of buildings that do not have the most pleasant past behind them. It deals with the question of the new use of the decaying building of the former prison in Uherské Hradiště. The project seeks a meaningful program and architectural solution that would bring the building back to life and integrate it back into the urban fabric. The Slovácké Theatre, which operates in Uherské Hradiště, is moving into the building. The Slovácké Theatre is located in the leased space of the former Sokolovna. The big disadvantage of the existing theatre is the small space for its facilities. Workshops and warehouses are not located here at all. In addition, the existing theatre building is located just off a busy road and thus has no space for people to linger after the theatre. On a symbolic level, the theatre is a program that allows the city to deal with the problematic past of the prison building in a lively way. The proposal does not preserve the prison building, it does not "musealize" it. It is not afraid of radical interventions and demolition, which allows not only to harmonize the operation of the theatre with the historical building, but also to make the closed building completely accessible and transparent. Consciously and through architectural design, the object, excluded from society, becomes its own opposite: a social centre accessible to all. A social conscience and a mirror, not a prison, but a theatre. At the same time, the redevelopment does not try to erase the prison past. The remaining fragments of the buildings are left in their rawness, with a clearly legible trace of solitary confinement and a façade in the style of "architecture terrible".

The Compact urban structure in the Czech Republic
Sál, Kristián ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The thesis assignment is a proposal for urban interventions in the city of Moravský Krumlov. The urban study focuses on the historical core of the city, the adjacent production area, and the bus terminal, all of which are situated within the meander of the Rokytná river. The diploma thesis consists of an analytical and a design part. The analytical part comprehensively analyzes Moravský Krumlov, with a specific emphasis on the area under consideration. The design part explores various interventions in the historical core, presents a vision for the production area that integrates it with the city, and addresses the bus terminal. The proposed interventions take into account factors such as walking distances, architectural diversity, seamless integration with the surroundings, and an appropriate architectural expression based on the nature of each intervention.

The Compact City in Theory and in Practice
Čuntalová, Karolína ; Májek, Jan (referee) ; Tichý, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on the concept of a compact city in theory and its practical application to a selected housing estate of 500 apartments in Bratislava. The aim of the thesis is to define the concept of a compact city and analyse the selected area based on a methodology developed by the city of Bratislava for analysing public spaces that primarily adhere to the principles of a compact city. The outcome of the thesis will be an assessment of whether the 500-apartment locality is a suitable example of a compact area in Bratislava.

The Compact urban structure in the Czech Republic
Gellnerová, Martina ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to design a new urban structure with a connection to the historical center and complement the existing historical buildings. The addressed area is located in the historic center, which is also a city monument zone. There is a large number of heritage-protected buildings, which are also dominant. A large part of the buildings was bombed at the end of World War II. The proposal tries to respect the existing development and at the same time complement it so that it is similar to the structure of the city before the bombing. Furthermore, the creation of boundaries for the division of public and private space, the creation of public space for people, not cars, to make the Rokytná River embankment more accessible and attractive together with the reconstruction of an almost unused industrial area. The proposal also includes the return of the city hall to the main square. The newly proposed buildings are mainly residential in nature.

Design of a contemporary urban district in the context of a historic city - urban study
Stanislavová, Soňa ; Obrtlík, Jan (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to design a high quality timeless urban district or part of the city, in relation to the existing historic city. The area in question is located in the historic centre, which is also a conservation area. The site contains both urban landmarks and historic buildings. However, most of the buildings were built after 1945, when the town was largely bombed out. The main idea of the design is to respect the existing structure. The design complements the existing buildings and creates new blocks that clearly define public and private space. Other elements include making public spaces more attractive, revitalising traffic areas and improving pedestrian infrastructure. The newly proposed development is predominantly residential in nature and should increase interest in living in the city for young people and businesspeople.

Integration of the tram line into the city structure
Škopková, Klára ; Plášek, Otto (referee) ; Valehrach, Jan (advisor)
Tram transport is an integral part of public transport in many cities. Its lines run through a variety of environments. The integration of tram line into the urban environment – urban structures – is the focus of this thesis. The aim of this thesis is to find out in several Czech and foreign cities how the tramway is integrated in different urban structures. And then, for the analysed cities, to identify and compare their approaches to tramway lines in different urban structures.

Post- cultural town: urban wilderness in shrinking Vimperk
Singer, Kateřina
607 urban structures labelled with a city status were registered in the Czech Republic in 2019. 187 of them experienced a population decline of more than 3% between 2009 and 2019. The project presents a former important Golden Path centre, South Bohemian town of Vimperk, with a decrease of 5.9%, also showing other signs of a shrinking city in the post-revolutionary period. The study investigates one of the consequences of the process of shrinkage, gaps in the urban structure. A mosaic of indeterminate neglected spaces in various stages of decay are absorbed by the urban wilderness. The research explores the return of the landscape element to the forgotten places of the built environment and the symbiosis of this new urban landscape and local residents. Based on a personal analysis and discussions with local experts, the research identifies, documents and then subjectively evaluates 30 forgotten places. The criteria are historical and cultural value, overall character of the location, location in relation to the town, owner’s interest, technical condition and current operation. A scenario and a level of management are proposed for the selected locations, underlining the respect of the new wilderness and the birth of the post-cultural town. The popularisation of research results changes the perspective on neglected or negatively perceived outbreaks of natural life within the cultural landscape. The question remains how the new landscape will change the town planning strategy of non-growing or shrinking towns in general.

Current use of layers of settlements in the north bohemian border region
Roeselová, Sára
The paper examines the layering of urban structures of municipalities in the North Bohemian border region, specifically in the Šluknov area. It does so by uncovering historical traces of settlement and analyzing the changing relationship between landscape, settlements and form of habitation. In the originally agricultural linear villages, there was a significant transformation towards artisan livelihoods. This severed the direct connection of many residents to the local land and gave rise to a second, internal layer of settlement. As a result of the post-war displacement and collectivization of agriculture, the primary linear structure disappeared and today a newer, completely different, craft-based urban form prevails here. It is this second wave of settlement in the form of a dense organic network of parcels in the floodplains of meandering streams, which forms the backbone of all the researched settlements, that domitanes the character of contemporary urban areas. The development specifics of these settlements set in a culturally rich landscape are a value in themselves. The same is true of historical traces of settlement, which are a rare piece of continuity spanning the destructive period of the second half of the 20th century. The aim of the research is to create a model of systematic interpretation of historical rural structures, which would enable municipalities to adapt to contemporary demands for life in the rural settlements of this region. The task is therefore to analyze the two main waves of settlement and their preserved traces and to find a way to connect these apparently disparate structures and thus support integrated residential development.
